hmm, this is dumb... I protected a branch in github, and reviews are mandatory to merge PRs
<samueldr>
though I am the only member of the project
<samueldr>
I can't approve my own PRs
<samueldr>
(and I can't request changes either :/)

Trying to get invidious, an alternative frontend for youtube working

But google is so nice to detect the automated traffic and blocks my requests for that
<infinisil>
F*ck you google, seriously

It might just be the network my DO server is in

I'm running bind on my laptop, and want to forward the domain .lan to my home router. Does anyone know a good way to do so?
<ar>
sphalerite: zone "lan" { type forward; forwarders { router.ip.address.here; }; };
<sphalerite>
ar: hm, I had that, but bind complained about DNSSEC stuff
<ar>
sphalerite: "dnssec-must-be-secure lan no;" in global options {}?
<sphalerite>
I tried that too :/ still getting no valid RRSIG resolving 'bringtnix.lan/DS/IN': 192.168.2.1#53 insecurity proof failed resolving 'bringtnix.lan/A/IN': 192.168.2.1#53
<sphalerite>
ar: any other ideas?
<ar>
not really

<samueldr>
HDMI boot dongle
<samueldr>
it's a "clever" way that amlogic has put a backdoor-type option to force a boot option
<sphalerite>
riiiiight
<samueldr>
it reads the EDID info from a dongle and checks for magic incantation in there
<sphalerite>
weird.
<samueldr>
yes, quite
<samueldr>
but useful for us, software-type hackers!
<samueldr>
you can force the boot to a usb drive, even if the CPU is set to only boot from whatever internal storage it has
<sphalerite>
fancy fancy

Hm, I'm trying to get Enigmail working well
<infinisil>
But the "key management" tab is screwing with me, it says "Could not connect to keyserver at keys.openpgp.org.The keyserver reported an error." when I search for "test" or so
<infinisil>
Although it doesn't do that when I search for "foo@example.com"
<infinisil>
However, when I search for a key id like "0x422E9EDAE0157170", my new (more secure) gpg key that I uploaded to keys.openpgp.org, it just shows a progress bar that doesn't do anything
<__monty__>
Is test a valid id? Maybe it's restricted to email addresses?
<infinisil>
And now I'm worried that others can't find my key when they want to
<infinisil>
Searching for 0x422E9EDAE0157170 on https://keys.openpgp.org directly indeed does return my key
<infinisil>
Well, even with a fresh ~/.thunderbird and the latest thunderbird version this happens :/
<infinisil>
If some other Nix user of thunderbird + enigmail could confirm this also happens for them that would be great
<elvishjerricco>
Signal doesn't have a way to backup and restore for new phones. That's so stupid.
<elvishjerricco>
Well it does for android, but not for iOS. So I get a new safety number, and all my contacts can no longer trust they know who owns the number. Yay!
<__monty__>
That's even sillier than their requirement you have a phone number. You're not allowed to have secure communication if you don't have a smartphone.
<infinisil>
Btw I took my problem to #nixos
yosafbridge has joined #nixos-chat
ivan has left #nixos-chat [#nixos-chat]
<samueldr>
and weirdly enough, signal "shouldn't work without a phone number", but here the phone number associated with it is not the telephony number of the device it runs on :/
<samueldr>
so it's not required for it to work :/
<__monty__>
Wait, it's not even necessary and yet you can't register without one? : (
<samueldr>
I don't remember what and how, but the phone number associated with my signal account is a voip number
<elvishjerricco>
Yea the phone number is only used to authenticate that you own the number via an initial sms, and then becomes more of a username
<elvishjerricco>
After setup, the phone number is never contacted again by signal
<qyliss>
They actively encourage using VoIP numbers if you don't want to give out a phone number
<qyliss>
still bs, though. voip numbers don't grow on trees.
<samueldr>
yeah
<__monty__>
Sounds like incompetent engineering.
<qyliss>
not at all
<qyliss>
it's very much a design decision
<qyliss>
just a terrible one
<__monty__>
Hence the incompetence.
<qyliss>
not engineering incompetennce though
<elvishjerricco>
Yea, anyone know another messenger that's as good as signal but without the bullshit?
<__monty__>
Design is part of engineering.
<__monty__>
elvishjerricco: I've resorted to Wire.
<samueldr>
(not fascetious) what's good about signal?
<qyliss>
Not this high level.
<samueldr>
I mean, what parts are important that are "good"?
<qyliss>
samueldr: the encryption
<elvishjerricco>
samueldr: "The signal protocol" is a pretty advanced degree of security
<__monty__>
Wire implements axolotl.
<samueldr>
good, just wanted to know if that was the bit that you desired, or something else
<samueldr>
while I do have a signal account, it's mostly unused, only one contact and it's a tertiary contact point
<elvishjerricco>
I've got three people who I only contact through IRC and Signal, and that's all I use Signal for
<elvishjerricco>
I wish Apple would let Android have iMessage; it rivals Signal in security, and has fantastic UX.
<samueldr>
I remember steve jobs announcing it as a system built on open protocols
* samueldr
sighs
<qyliss>
that was facetime I think?
<elvishjerricco>
He announced FaceTime that way
<samueldr>
oh, right
<elvishjerricco>
But they got sued because their P2P protocol violated some random pattent
<samueldr>
mixed them up
<elvishjerricco>
So it fell through
<qyliss>
I'm excited for https://lizard.chat, edef's (and puck's, who is not in this channel) NLnet-funded chat protocol
<qyliss>
I hope it comes to something
<elvishjerricco>
Why does tor have to be integrated into the messenger? Why can't the messenger just use the network normally, and the user route the network through tor?
<samueldr>
it sounds like it's not only routing, but discovering through?
<qyliss>
elvishjerricco: AIUI it uses Tor hidden services for addressing and stuff
