Signal Is More Than Encrypted Messaging. Under Meredith Whittaker, It’s Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong in c/[email protected]

Signal actually has a rule on not using third party clients on its servers. These clients existing do not prove the point you intend.

Doesn't take away the fact that not being on F-droid is a huge issue and says a lot about how much they care about privacy and security.

Is it time stamp of last usage, or time stamp of all messages?

Successfully installed gentoo on a Oracle always-free 4xARM 24GB RAM instance! (reddthat.com)
 

Was able to install gentoo on a Oracle always-free instance. It has 4x ARM CPUs and 24 GB RAM. Those specs are really nice for a free instance.

for now I'll use it to self host some public facing services. Who knows, maybe I'll host a personal lemmy instance on it :)

Setting DNS Server When Using iwd with standalone USE flag (reddthat.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://reddthat.com/post/221970

Hello friends! I kept searching how to do this but had trouble finding the information, but now that I have found out how to do it, I thought I would post it here in case others are looking for it.

Problem we are solving

You want to set the DNS server's address for your network connection. Typically, this is handled by DHCP server, but if you have enabled EnableNetworkConfiguration in the iwd config, then iwd is the one deciding which is your DNS server, and relays that information to your resolver, which in most cases is systemd-resolved but sometimes openresolv.

This is also the same as setting the standalone USE flag

How to Set DNS

Go to /var/lib/iwd folder, and look for the file that holds NETWORK_NAME.psk (where NETWORK_NAME is the SSID of the network you are connected to).

In this file, you will find some text pre-written. If it does not exist already, create a [IPv4] section. Under this section, add the line DNS=192.168.1.1 or whatever you wanted the DNS server to be. Your file should end up having a section that looks like this:

[IPv4]
DNS=192.168.1.1

restart iwd server and now you should be connecting to the right DNS server!

What's your favorite desktop environment (or window manager) to use? (reddthat.com)
 

Personally for me, I've always been a fan of bspwm

I've been using hyprland as of recent to try it out. But I think I'll be trying something else soon. But I do want to stick with wayland.

PSA: Wayland + Hyprland with nvidia drivers and RTX 3060 Ti card work OOTB without issues (reddthat.com)
 

I tried wayland with Hyprland on gentoo with proprietary nvidia drivers. I have the RTX 3060 Ti card. It works out of the box without having to mess with anything.

I tried sway as well. I have to specify the --unsupported-gpu flag for it to launch. The one issue I noticed with sway is that the background does not seem to load. I did not spend time debugging so it maybe a super simple fix. I'll report back if I ever do.

But I'm happy to see its all working flawlessly!

Shoutout to Portage's detailed warnings and errors (reddthat.com)
 

When emerging nvidia proprietary drivers, portage warned me that I have certain kernel configurations either set wrong, or unset, which could cause trouble for nvidia to work.

I was impressed that emerging nvidia drivers involves scanning current kernel config to see what it is missing.
