Community-driven @serpentos announces alpha release
https://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/Serpent-OS-Arrives-with-a-New-Alpha-Release
#Linux #OpenSource #SerpentOS #FOSS #alpha #GNOME #NVIDIA
Hi #Fediverse, let's start our journey here with our #introduction. We are #Turris project by #CZNIC. We develop and produce #opensource #wifi #router with focus on #security running #Linux distribution based on #OpenWrt. Of course, we provide automatic #updates and #root accounts. We have a #network of #honeypots running on our devices and create a dynamic #firewall based on the data.
Yes, I use an IPv4 tunnel (I can DM the details through Matrix) from my home with variable IPv4 address to get the fixed IPv4 address which has ICMP_ECHO enabled
The tunnel provider is HENet
🖋️ #bash #sh #zsh #ksh #csh #Networking #IPv6 #IPv4 #tunnel #twotunnels #ProxMox #freeBSD #Linux #POSIX #Programming
I face numerous problems with my ISP working internally with IPv4 while all of their routers switches and gateways being fully IPv6 capable, yet unconfigured in that address space
I have been graced with access to a wonderfull service which is of course IPv6 based, since those addresses are in copuous ammounts available. A fixed IP has been assigned to the service
My ISP charges a lower arm and an upperleg for a fixed IPv4 address. Their cheap unpatched gateways are closed, so I'm not allowed to use the ICMP protocol to their router let alone set ICPM_ECHO to enable on the device.
The routing service I signed up for wants ICMP_ECHO on, because a tunnel needs it
I have used a cludge to get to IPv6 by running a tunnel to a service which gives me both a fixed IP and ICMP_ECHO 0 & 8.
I then tell the IPv6 routing server to build the tunnel based on the properly configured IPv4 fixed address I have tunneled to.
This works for about an hour or so. From linux I use the following command set to configure sit0 and sit 1
{
su -
ifconfig sit0 up
ifconfig sit0 inet6 tunnel ::[my IPv4 tunnel address]
ifconfig sit1 up
ifconfig sit1 inet6 add [my IPv6 address]
route -A inet6 add ::/0 dev sit1
}
the devices come up nicely I can ping my IPv6 address and use the VM at that address.
After an hour or so, only when I stopped using both tunnels, for more than 15 minutes, the ping response dies on the second tunnel, consequently also on the whole IPv6 range. When I check the VM provider all Hypervisors (ProxMox) run fine with minimal load.
This means that something needs to keep the tunnel alive since I run data to two tunnels at once
Once tunnel number two goes in slumber mode it does not wake up again.
I have not traced back how to run a KEEP_ALIVE packet stream on the IPv6 tunnel

This is one of the nightmare scenarios. Medical data collected through this pesky OS written by greedy closed source companies. Recall should be illegal if your country of origin is in the EU. Medicals pro's should sue microsoft, since turning it off is (almost) impossible
#Recall #IT #Win64 #OwnYourData #Security #Privacy #RunBSD #Linux
UPDATE: I haven't seen Recall in action there. I was just asking the doctor how they'll deal with it.
This morning, I went to the doctor for a scheduled appointment. While she was looking at the results of blood tests from two years ago on the screen (and suggested repeating them for a follow-up), I realized she was using Windows 11. A detail came to mind. The doctor is extremely polite and friendly, so I asked her, "How do you handle the feature called Recall?" The doctor was taken aback and had no idea what I was talking about. I was about to drop the conversation, but she, being a serious professional, immediately called the technicians who manage their PCs to ask for clarification. They downplayed it, saying it's not an issue and that it's a feature "on all PCs, so we can't do anything about it." She started to express that she didn’t like it and wanted it deactivated. No luck: they won’t proceed because, according to them, even deactivating it is "a hack that could compromise future updates." She’s furious and will talk to her colleagues and the decision-makers. She wants secure systems because "there’s patient data involved."
In reality, patient data is stored on servers (which I haven't investigated), but everything that appears on the screen is, in my opinion, at risk.
I’ve offered to help them find a solution—because, if I'm right, all they need is LibreOffice and a browser. In that case, I’ll suggest one of the *BSD or Linux systems and do it for free.
I don’t want to make money off my doctor. I just want patient data to be (sufficiently) secure.

then, for FreeBSD follow the commands given in the manual:
