Excellent, thanks for the update!

Can you make your docker service start after the NFS Mount to rule that out?

A restart policy only takes effect after a container starts successfully. In this case, starting successfully means that the container is up for at least 10 seconds and Docker has started monitoring it. This prevents a container which doesn’t start at all from going into a restart loop.

https://docs.docker.com/engine/containers/start-containers-automatically/#restart-policy-details

If your containers are crashing before the 10 timeout, then they won’t restart.

Thats for proving its untampered with right? I’m more thinking of validating the archive copy is a “true” copy when adding it initially, which requires each node to check against the live site?

Its definitely an intriguing idea though, but I don’t know enough to know how feasable it can be

I figured that every node would need to scrap the site, in order to validate the content. If there are thousands of nodes, that would ddos the site.

I don’t really understand how PoW would solve that, can you explain?

Yeah, quite possibly. Could still be very hard to get right. Region blocking might make consensus difficult.

Edit: just occurred to me, any method of consensus could be used to ddos sites as well. Might be best left for people smarter than me

There was a ActivityPub wiki clone, no idea where it got to.

The major upside of IA being built and owned by one central company is trust. We can (so far at least, if I’m wrong please correct me) trust IA to not censor/rewrite history. As soon as every man and his dog can contribute, that gets a lot harder to guarantee.

Don’t take me linking it as endorsement, I think federated wiki’s for anything other than fandom stuff to be madness.

Text is a bad medium for conveying emotion.

To me, :/ has always been a fairly neutral expression, like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ or 😐, I would have used :( to convey upset, but its certainly reasonable that others would read it differently.

I kinda hoped my other comments would have made it clearer, but again, text is a bad medium :( oh well

Its a joke, relax. Almost all games get speed run, no reason to expect this to be different. And any% speed runs often skip huge portions of the story, no reason to expect this to be any different either. There is nothing to be mad at, it’ll likely happen, it’ll likely be silly/funny to watch.

I beleive in you!

I’m not mad, its a joke. There is nothing to be mad at.

Yeah, I get that, but on the more aggressively short cut games, you could argue its not the same game anymore if all the story is now skipped. Still entertaining to watch, and I do occasionally, but it can get a bit silly.

I’m still looking forward to the first:

“Hi guys, today I’m going to show you how the locker skip works, you just run at this locker while tapping crouch, annddddd we are clipped through the ground, and can now run to the exit. Easy game”

:D

I can’t wait to see speed runners cheese it and completely miss its point :/

Thats a repo of existing malware. Be careful with it. You can use that to start reverse engineering an existing malware. Use a VM that isnt connected to a network.

If you want to write something, go for it. Often malware is tailored to a single OS (Windows), so cross platform is less of a concern.

The hard part of writing malware is doing it in an undetectable way, which will usually require deeper OS knowledge, which you’ll have to acquire over time. YouTube has some good videos if you hunt around.

For free? Probably not.

Wireguard has been audited by some University groups, maybe contact one of them:

There really is 2 NSA’s, with conflicting goals. Keep Americans secure, and collect everyone elses data. Its a difficult line to walk. The first half does produce really good advice and tools, but is undermined by the second halfs image.

I fortunately never learnt Ida due to cost, so I have no idea what is missing, but ghidra was a godsend for CTFs. Suddenly reversing challenges were accessible and easy.

https://code.nsa.gov/# - Lots of useful stuff here.

Ghidra. Boom, here is 90% of ida pro. Enjoy.

I think its better to keep your gateway basic, and run extra services on a separate raspi or similar. Let your router/gateway focus on routing packets.

Openwrt can run Adguard, and as long as your gateway can run docker, you can probably get pihole working.

I’m not sure there is a “mentality of ephemeral code” in open source projects. The source is literally available on github or similar, and anyone can mirror it as they like.

If it is popular enough, then the project is probably backed up in the github artic vault as well.

If its an open source project, the answer is to rebuild from the tagged source.

Eg: https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/tree/0.112.4

With the right repo setup, you can pip install git+https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi.git@0.112.4 (example only, not sure it works), so pypi doesn’t need to keep all previous wheels, its just easier for it to do so.
