A way towards to a #decentralized, community-driven #VPN service inspired by #nostr. Currently functional on Linux, Mac, Android, and likely Windows with #xray servers and clients. With #VLESSmixer the first server knows the user's IP address but not the destination websites, while the second server knows the destination websites but not the user's IP address. https://git.sr.ht/~atom4peace/vless-mixer/tree/master/item/Readme.md

#VLESSmixer #anonymity Suppose one has two #vpn (vless-reality proxy servers) but doesn't trust them. Vless-mixer does this: `Browser -> Server1 -> Server2 -> Web` The first server sees the user's IP address but does not know which websites the user is visiting. The second server sees the websites but only sees the first server's IP address as the client. How to Use (Linux) 1. Install `dhall-to-json`: This should be available in your repository. 2. Download the `vless-mixer` project: Choose the latest commit and download the `.tar.gz` file. 3. Create Configuration Files: Create `server1.dhall` and `server2.dhall` files similar to `server-example.dhall` from the VLESS links for different servers. 4. Generate JSON Configuration: ```dhall-to-json --explain --file config.dhall > config.json``` 5. Start Xray: ```xray -c config.json``` Connect to the SOCKS proxy at `127.0.0.1:1080` https://git.sr.ht/~atom4peace/vless-mixer/tree

Do you use VPN, proxy or Tor? #asknostr

Today I boil over because of #bash. Why`int` is not infinite in length, like Integer in #Haskell? Why`xxd` does not hex dump in one line without spaces and line breaks, and one have to write`xxd -p -c 9999` ? Why I expected such behavior from them, I wonder myself.

A year ago, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was murdered. He was killed in a prison in the Arctic Circle. A year later, no one has investigated his murder because everyone knows who wanted him dead the most. #Putin #Navalny #Russia #censorship

You know, #Apple has blocked a lot of #VPN and media apps in App Store in #Russia. Obviously, it's not ok. What Big Tech should do in dictatorships? Leaders of Russian opposition Vladimir Kara-Murza, Yulia Navalnaya and Ilya Yashin answers: 1: Put human rights first. Dictators’ “laws” are not legitimate under international standards. 2: Focus on real-world outcomes. Companies must consider the practical consequences of their actions on users and aim to protect them. Data-localization laws exist in many democracies to protect user data, but dictatorships use similar laws to target dissidents and fuel repression. 3: Establish mechanisms for dialogue with civil society. To understand how a law might harm users, tech companies should consult with users and their representatives. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/02/03/kara-murza-navalnaya-yashin-dictators-tech/ #censorship #socialmedia

#Tesla sales drop down to 50% in January. Well done, Elon #Musk.

Can the man who destroyed #Twitter make America great again?

#nixos pissed me off today. I changed hardware and nixos can't boot. 1. Ok, let's boot from live cd, chroot and nixos-rebuild. No way - they moved some critical filles to new place in new releases and chroot not working. 2. Live CD has no pppoe - and no internet in my situation. Can't reinstall. I'm thinking on #fedora or give nixos the last chance?

Just a #landscape #photo of a forest which I live near.

#youtube is blocked in Russia because of a lot of anti-putin channels. But one can manadge to watch it on smart-tv, giving LAN from #raspberry #pi connected to xray proxy in another counry. Just yyyes!

I use crypto to pay for servers and I had a pet project for price prediction to earn on swaps. Which VPS hosters can be paid with #lightning and can it be swapped somewhere with minimal cost? For what do you use lightning? #asknostr

GM nostr. It's raining in my area, but usually it should be snowy and cold.

I definitely have #FOMO The news are often not good but it isn't a reason to read them 24/7.

My new usb splitter has all ports upside-down. Quite mind blowing.

I live in Russia and today we had another internet shutdown. A lot of services were unreachable. Google was ok, but duckduckgo, yahoo, samsung and most of abroad sites were down. I have three servers with #xray #proxy to circumvent #censorship , but all of them were unreachable, even for ssh. What I'm afraid of is #whitelist , list of addresses which are allowed, and others are blocked.

My back aches today severely because I had a wrong pose while sleeping. #GM not so good.

Tired and wanna sleep huh.
