Bikes are great, but carrying cargo / groceries /etc. is a serious problem.  I have an exotic Xtracycle project that lingers in my bike workspace.  It's a bolt on sub frame that extends the bike length to about the rough size of a Harley dressed up motorcycle.   With the Xtracycle you can tow...

Securing DNS Lookups via Encrypted DNS - DNSCrypt Normal computer traffic route involving DNS works like this: 1. Request for DNS lookup (from browser, FTP, etc.) 2. System gets DNS information for the domain from a list of remote DNS servers - often these are auto-configured by your...

I love bicycles.  I ride an urban commuter with internal gearing, rear rack with bags, front Shimano dynamo hub.... A rear red LED light strip I cobbled together and a 900 lumen front light that runs from a 12v pack I made. My other active rider is a two wheeled recumbent made by Sun.  100+ PSI...

Lavabit just had a big piece on Foxnews radio about the closure.  Going to get big traction with this I suspect.

I'd rather have security issues and something break than continue to feed the monster systems directly and willingly. Hopefully, others chime in with recommendations to build upon this tutorial.

Wow, there goes my upcoming weekend :)  You are most excellent @wlanboy! Someone give this tutorial a spin and see how it goes.  

So I am mucking with DNS tonight. Realized something that seems obvious, but isn't. /etc/resolv.conf settings don't support DNS on the standard port, right? For instance: nameserver 192.168.1.10 That won't work as: nameserver 192.168.1.10:5353 Or will it?  Anyone know of a way to get...

Thanks for taking the time to put this together.  Not my environment mix, so I won't be testing/replicating it.  We need more tutorials like this.   Keep up the good work and the fighting spirit!

I might cobble together a DNS tutorial for end DNS users.  That's the first layer for some of these general security issues. Since my interests and designs revolve around SSH tunnels, will probably mix that into the DNS piece. Dawned on me today how much snooping, spying, watching, profiling...

Really?  While it isn't perfect (had issues looking for a local hardware store a city + state + hardware style search --- where the store showed up about 10th in results) it is pretty alright generally.   When I have a search snafu I run the same on StartPage.com which is another supposedly...

Well, this isn't too far off of a semi solution that only hides the actual body of the message.  It still exposes the sender and recipient info.  So they know A and B interacted on this date and the subject.  That's leaking, but better than nothing. If you use OpenPGP or equivalent on remote...

If someone has full server access regardless of platform, there is always total packet dumps as well as reading the raw disk files. It is in part why shared environments are unsecured unknowns. Securing such an environment for virtualized customer, well, can it actually be done?  Would require...

Yeah, well tunneling baby.     Nothing to stop me from hiding that direct connect route.

Alright, I am back to thinking again about offshoring more of my services that I outsource. Let's talk about data privacy protections.  What countries actually care about privacy of data and citizen rights and/or are non-conspiring with the United States? Iceland comes to mind.  What others...

No doubt Snowden brought the creep heat.   Hopefully these bureaucrats don't believe in hell and are right, cause I am certain they are headed for hot sulfur bathes.   Then again, I think we can emulate hell and give them proper sulfur beforehand. Bahahahah! Snowden while admirable, isn't a...

Kevin Poulsen has some interesting thoughts on the subject: Court records show that, in March, Lavabit complied readily with a search warrant targeting a child pornography suspect in a Maryland case. That suggests that Levison isn’t a privacy absolutist. Whatever compelled him to shut down now...

Yeppers, truly time for next generation semi-open wireless on local / regional basis.  Independent operations, not incumbent monopolies. Still have the issue with anything destined for the other net --- the controlled internet --- and your upstreams which are all spying and complying with mass...

Oh boy, what a mess. I love providers that have time to write shit for copy ads making all sorts of claims and at the same time can't deal with tickets and paying customers. I am about to break out my popcorn stash, I suspect this thread is going to get way more interesting. You make it sound...

That looks mighty similar to a Trek VRX I had in the 1990's...

Lavabit closure has hit Slashdot (and likely other popular sites)... Hopefully this is a step to ratchet up the political activism and get people both angry and out of this chair and out to do something for a change...
