Can anyone recommend a #VNC server for #Windows? The one that keeps coming up is RealVNC, but it seems to force you to create an account and run everything through their servers. I don't want any of that garbage, especially since VNC is not an encrypted protocol, and could easily be eavesdropped upon and/or MitM'd.
This is to do remote tech support on my father's PC. I've already got him on my private VPN, so there's no need to worry about dynamic IP or NAT issues. I thought about Windows' native Remote Desktop software, but in Microsoft's infinite wisdom that's not available on his particular version of Windows.

I don't think Wireguard per se handles this.
One way to handle this is to use 'ip rule' to mark the traffic to belong to a specific table (called a vrf), and then set up 'ip route' commands to send that traffic to your wireguard interface.
You need to be careful with asymmetric routing. If you are using NAT outbound anyway (because you run RFC 1918 networks inside your network) then it gets easier as you apply source NAT on the correct interface.

My home server has two main interfaces, eth1 (a standard internet connection) and tun0 (an OpenVPN tunnel). I'd like to use iptables to force all packets generated by a local process owned by UID ...Server Fault
Most probably, that won't work, because wireguard does routing, and routing is IP, layer 3, while TCP/UDP is on layer 4.
You may have a look at policy based routing, though.

Depending on how automated you want this to be, sox may be useful - it can certainly do the filtering, and can at least generate a spectrogram from which you can decide where to filter.
Csound can do this sort of thing more capably but using it will involve coding to define exactly what you mean.

This is extremely frustrating.
I host a piece of software on my server for my father. He connects to it via #SSH (using #PuTTY ). He just got a new computer, and wanted me to set it up so that he could connect, just like I did with his previous computer. No problem right?
I show up, generate the key, and authorize it on the server, but for whatever reason PuTTY refuses to acknowledge the existence of this key. I know it's not even trying, because it doesn't even ask for the passphrase to decrypt it.
Has something changed in the latest version of PuTTY that I just don't know about? Do I need to do something the enable public key authentication beyond simply specifying the path to the key?

Stranger and stranger still. This process works for signing into my account, but not his. I can however sign to his account with a regular SSH session, as opposed to PuTTY.

I have a bunch of machines on my LAN that all port forward out to the same VPS on different ports. I was mistaken about the port number (and therefore the host) and his account wasn't actually there. This is why it didn't bother with the key, and is also why I could connect as I have an account on all of them.

πβ I'd recommend the Atmel-ICE. It's well supported on Linux and supports debugging. I've had mine for almost a decade. I've put it through quite a lot and it's still working fine. If you want work with PICs as well, then the PICkit 4 may be a better option.

@Nav Does it require their proprietary IDE? I'm trying to keep my toolchain as open as possible.
Many years ago, I had a job that involved programming PICs, but it could only be done with their software on Windows, and required an expensive license if you wanted to use C instead of Assembly. That's why I was looking at AVR.
I know they got bought out by Microchip and a number of things have doubtless changed since then (circa 2012-ish).

AVR development doesn't require a proprietary IDE.
For the toolchain, you can use GCC.
For programming, you can use avrdude (works well with the Atmel-ICE on Linux).
For debugging, you can use Bloom and GDB. Bloom exposes a GDB server, allowing GDB to gain access to the AVR target for debugging operations. You can also program the target via Bloom (using GDB's `load` command)(disclaimer: I'm the author of Bloom). Bloom also works well with the Atmel-ICE.
I use CLion, GCC, avrdude and Bloom for all of my AVR development.

This absolutely unremarkable blink is actually quite cool to me at the moment since it's being controlled by a timer/counter, two compare matches and an interrupt service routine. This is just as a test for how I'm thinking of implementing HSYNC.The pin is configured to toggle when the counter reaches a top value, via a compare match. That would make the LED blink by itself. However there is a second compare match at half (configurable) that top value which is forcing a compare match. So the pin can generate a pulse of configurable duration and period.
And not that I have written this I realise I seem to have just implemented a convoluted PWM lol. Should check if I can just use PWM for what I need.

Bob Jonkman reshared this.
what sort of problems are you having with the starter? Feel free to ask questions!
Regarding a simple recipe, the one i often use is about as simple as it gets:
200g of starter (should be bubbly and active)
190g of water
9g of salt
350g of bread flour (aka "strong flour") all-purpose flour will work in a pinch.
Mix all the ingredients until you get a shaggy dough, then put in a clean bowl (ideally coated with a little olive oil to prevent sticking) to rise for 2-8 hours (depending on temperature). Once it's doubled, stretch the corners and fold over the center (this is in place of kneading) until the dough stops wanting to stretch easily. Form a loaf in a banneton or a loaf pan or small bowl and let rise until doubled again (1.5-4h, depend on temperature). Bake at 450F in a covered dutch oven for about 30-35min, then remove the cover for another 5-10 until the color is pleasing.

@Jeff Rizzo It's not rising properly. It looks like my flour is the problem. Apparently in Canada our flour doesn't work all that well for sourdough.
I'm going to try a fresh batch with the bread flour I have (I was previously using all purpose because the recipe called for either).
I'm told by @Sourdough2021 that I should look for 15g of protein per 100g. The bread flour I have only has 4g per 30g, which works out to 13 1/3 per 100. Hopefully that's sufficient. If not, I'm off to buy another bag of flour.
It's funny. I started doing this because I wanted to bake bread without having to buy yeast, and all it's cost me is like a dozen bags of flour to figure out how to get it right. π
At this point though, it's the principle of the thing.

The rye is relatively easy to get going. I keep mine in Pyrex (glass) container with cling film (shrink wrap) over the top. Start with 30g rye, 30g bottled water. Feed twice a day by using another 30g rye, 30g water, 30g of your original starter (throw the rest). Keep going until it gets bubbly and rises and collapses well. Keep in fridge when not using but feed each week.
@Sourdough2021 I'm thinking that perhaps my problem is the way the jar is being covered. It's one of the ones that has a hinged lid and if it's not sealed, doesn't close completely. I might ignore the lid and use cling wrap instead as you mentioned.

My flour is about what yours is - 12.7% protein according to the bag (4g per 30g, probably rounded). It's "King Arthur bread flour" (I'm in the US) - and I've had good success even with an all-purpose flour with less protein, though it's not quite as nice.
What does "not rising properly" mean? Is the crumb especially dense? I've found that my kitchen is cold enough (65F/18C currently) that I have to let it rise a loooooong time - which is one reason why I started experimenting with a proofing box (aka, a big styrofoam container with some warm stuff to keep the temperature up to 75-82F (24-27C) which makes the whole thing take a lot less time. If it's really not rising at all, you could try adding some commercial yeast to your starter - I've done that in the past... usually takes a few batches to settle back down but can help in a pinch.

@Jeff Rizzo The starter didn't actually appear to be rising much at all. I'm told it should be doubling in size about four hours after feeding.
FWIW, I'm following this recipe, though I'm ignoring brand names.
I used whole weat flour for the initial starter, and have been feeding it with unbleached all purpose. On the first feeding, it actually spilled out of the jar, but has been fairly inactive on subsequent feedings. I actually marked the outside of the jar with a dry-erase marker to see if it was rising at all. The last one rose perhaps a few milimeters, though I am getting bubbles.
I'm not concerned about my kitchen being too cold. I don't have control over the heat in this apartment, but it's usually pretty warm, probably well within the range you mentioned.

@Jeff Rizzo Actually, looking closer at the recipe, it wasn't exactly that one, but it was similar. I copied it down and don't have the original link.
that looks fine. Odd that it was active once, but not subsequently. What i generally see is the starter gets active a few hours after feeding, and then (eventually) collapses down into a runny paste (indicating it's exhausted the available food). I don't feed again until it's in that state.
Only thing i can think of is maybe your kitchen is warm enough that it's super-active and exhausts the flour too quickly. Maybe try feeding it with whole wheat if you have any left...
Scratching my head here. You seem to be doing it right!

New #sourdough starter from scratch? - the advice I had was use stoneground flour (as big flour mills use steel rollers, and they heat up & kill the yeast spores in the grain). Add some fruit juice to the flour on the very first mix, to keep it acidic, to avoid bad bacteria taking over (James Morton recommended Pineapple juice). Then you will need to feed&discard daily for a week or so before it's good to bake. doctor, writer, baker, BBC bake-off finalist - https://www.bakingjames.com/links

Sadly, store-bought all-purpose flour is all I have on had. I've been adding one tablespoon of gluten flour to one cup of ll-purpose flour for use in the bread machine; that makes a nice substitute for hard bread flour.

This is the tried-and-true method we use for making sourdough starter here at King Arthur, and we feel you'll have success with our sourdough starter recipe.King Arthur Baking
Started a fresh batch with some of the feedback I got. This is roughly 10 hours after the first feeding. This is similar to the result I got on previous attempts, except that it nearly wouldn't rise at all on subsequent feedings.
The recipe called for the second feeding to be 24 hours after the first, and then every 12 hours thereafter.
I'm going to try at the 12 hour mark though, since I think the problem was that it had starved by the 24h mark. I'm also using bread flour this time instead of all purpose. I started with whole wheat, because it's what I had on hand, and my wife might murder me if I tell her I need to get yet another variety of flour. π
Is this common for a first feeding? My apartment tends to be quite warm, FWIW.

The recipe called for the second feeding to be 24 hours after the first, and then every 12 hours thereafter.
I'm going to try at the 12 hour mark though, since I think the problem was that it had starved by the 24h mark. I'm also using bread flour this time instead of all purpose. I started with whole wheat, because it's what I had on hand, and my wife might murder me if I tell her I need to get yet another variety of flour. π

@Jonathan Lamothe well, you need a better jar, but nah, that doesn't seem unreasonable
@silverwizard Yeah, if nothing else, a larger one. This is actually a step up from the one I started with, but I still didn't quite go big enough.
It depends on how lively your starter is and the ambient temperature. If youβre feeding regularly it should be very quick to double, if itβs been more than a few days you might need a couple of feeds before itβs ready to bake with. My starter lives in the fridge, I take it out the night before I plan to bake and feed it. The day of the bake I take out 100g of starter and put the jar of remains back in the fridge where it stays for 3-4 days until my next bake.
Just gave it its second feeding at the 12 hour mark. Guess we'll see of that helps.

Well, I'm definitely no longer having issues getting my #sourdough starter to rise. I have invested in a larger jar into which I will transfer it on the next feeding.

@me comes home after running some errands downtown only to find #Sourdough starter oozing out of all the outwardly burst doors and windows of his home π
Very young starters (1/2 weeks old) usually have a crazy activity, but it is driven mostly by bacteria that you don't really want to bake with. With more time, the good yeasts will take over, and that's when it becomes mature (~3 weeks in). So don't be surprised if it slows down in the next couple of weeks, that's normal: it is finding its own healthy and long-term microbial community. You might also notice a change from a sharp sour smell (bacteria) to a smoother yogurty one (yeasts).

I maintain mine in a 500 mL jar (2 cups). During the week, I refresh it every day with a spoonful of the old starter (usually not even a spoonful, just what is left on the sides of the jar), 15 g of flour (about 1/8 cup) and 15 mL of water (about 1/16 cup). The day before a baking day, I use 3 to 4 times that, and this still fits in the 500 mL jar. If I am not baking, I pour the starter into a skillet and I add some raisins: it makes a nice snack and allows to keep my amount of starter low.
I stand corrected. My #sourdough starter was very active for about 24h after the first feeding, but it's gone back to being relatively inert. It's been a week since I started this batch and it's barely rising at all any more.
I've started keeping it in an insulated bag after feeding, but only since the last two feedings. I'm wondering if it's possibly due to the fact that instead of putting it back in the same glass jar, I put it in a freshly washed one after every feeding (because I tend to spill starter all over the jar making a mess of it when I measure it out).
The proportions I'm using to feed it are: 113g of starter, 1 cup of bread flour, 1/2 cup of warm water. I do this every 12 hours (+/-15 minutes or so).
The recipe says it should be good to go after 5 or 6 days, but I've heard of people needing up to three weeks to get a viable starter going.

I grew 3 or 4 starters from scratch and it always happened exactly like you describe. Keep feeding it regularly and wait, as long as it doesn't grow mold (or gets weird smells or colors) you are good. If by 3 weeks it doesn't at least double in 12 hours, then there is a problem with flour or water. It works in 3 days or 3 wks depending on the flour, the microorganisms that are in it or on your hands, whether there is already a starter living around, etc. I am sure it will work for you too π

Content warning: PeerTube woes, weighing channel migration options
So, a tchncs' #PeerTube instance seems to have lost a bunch of my videos wth their migration to the new storage backend. I've asked for support on this, but haven't heard anything back from them. The last public statement I saw from them on the issue was that they didn't know how to fix it. That was months ago.
I have everything backed up, so I'm thinking about either re-uploading them, or (more likely) rehosting elsewhere. I'd love to self-host a PeerTube instance, as I've upgraded my internet connection since I last considered that, but the machine I'm currently hosting most of my services from has limited storage (128GB) and I'm already finding myself needing to make decisions about what to keep and what not to. I'm considering automatically pruning old posts from my Friendica node, as that's taking up a fair chunk of space. I'd love to upgrade my "server" to a NUC with 1TB of storage, but that's a little out of my price range at the moment.
I've also looked at diode.zone, but their terms of service specifically prohibit music under the YouTube license which a couple of my videos use... though, I suppose I could re-edit them.* I am a little concerned that they are a relatively popular server. Popular servers tend to have their mod teams stretched pretty thin, though I don't know if that's particularly been a problem over there. Even if it isn't an issue now, it may become so in the future.
Are there other options I'm missing here? My preference would be to self-host if at all possible, as video tends to consume a non-trivial amount of resources.
#AskFedi
* I probably should anyway, since they're apparently not compatible with the Creative Commons licenses I'm using.

We've got a portable dishwasher that has served us well, but the rack is starting to break. We've found the replacement part on the manufacturer's website but they won't ship to Canada. We've got an address we can have it sent to, but they won't accept a non-US billing address either. Does anyone know of a reseller or something we might be able to get it from? I found one, but I'm pretty sure it's a scam.
I'd hate to have to replace the whole stupid thing over a $30 part.

Does anyone have any experience with #WriteFreely? I've been asked to contribute to a new #blog, and we're looking at options for hosting it. Would it support having multiple users being able to contribute to a single blog? I like the idea of being able to suggest something fedi-compatible.
#AskFedi
#AskFedi
I've used #WriteFreely, but there's a conundrum hosting any blog as I've just written here: https://wordsmith.social/underlap/bring-back-blogging
Bring Back Blogging
I'm sympathetic to the idea behind Bring Back Blogging, even though I find there's more inertia to writing a blog post than posting, say, on Mastodon.But it's tricky to know what to do about hosting.
I potentially could host my own blog, but then I'd have the costs associated with a hosting service and renting a domain name. I'd be responsible for regularly upgrading the operating system and blogging software to avoid security exposures. If I wanted to split the cost of hosting with others, I'd have to provide them with some kind of support. Also, when I eventually stop hosting, my posts and those of anyone else sharing the service would cease to exist, so any important posts would need to be moved elsewhere first. Finally, if I hosted my own blog, that could be the thin end of the wedge and I'd be tempted to host my own Mastodon instance, etc.
The alternative to hosting my own blog is to use a commercial blogging site such as Blogger (which I used regularly over seven years ago), Medium, or WordPress. But I find the commercial aspect of these a little distasteful. Unless I paid to use them, and possibly even if I did pay, my writing would be exploited by these platforms by subjecting my readers to advertisements, promotions, or other visual clutter.
For now, I'll stick with wordsmith.social and try to find out who pays for it and whether I can contribute to their costs.

My recommendation is threefold:
1) Do you think that you read unknown-soured ebooks/pdfs regularly, and importantly, what's your existing threat model around those?
2) Giving F-Droid's proclivity for not disclosing the bug - can you be sure that the known issue is relevant?
3) What is the feature you like about Libera Reader?

@silverwizard Some of my epubs cone from my local peg-legged friend, so something malicious being injected is not out of the realm of possibility.
I spent a long time finding a FOSS ereader that was usable. It was a while ago, so I don't exactly remember the specific criticisms of the others I'd tried.
I remember there was one where the right ~5% of the page would render off-screen.
I just want something I can read with and will remember my page on each book.

So - basically - there's a chance you might trip over an unrisk analyzed CVE in an unlikely path that's used only sometimes on older devices.
These issues are:
https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-hh5m-fj6m-hwjp bad XPS file (I have never fed one into my PDF reader), and appears to be a crash, and only on Windows
https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-6xp9-rj6v-fx2r the exact same issue but different vector, also Windows only
https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-9jxc-7cqj-8cgc a repeat of the above, also only on windows
https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-gqv2-4ghg-ccgm this is an actual integer overflow - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-15587 shows that there's no known exploit or POC, so you might be only able to crash the app container - though it's possibly exploitable
OK! So there's a potentially problematic bug, in a fallback PDF renderer
This really feels like anti-security - since it's not a static code analysis, and just a specific report for *any* CVEs, not even relevant CVEs.
Personally? I'd wait for a fix and possibly stop running windows.

@silverwizard I'm not sure how that constitutes a "security vulnerability" tbh. More of a potential nuisance than anything else.
Integer overflow might become a stack escape, which, if you can figure out how to control ASLR, might become a real bug
Also, integer overflows might let you read random memory.
It's basically a case of "this is a vulnerability that could become a thing, and might already be a thing, but this is the root cause if it's a thing"
But I'm not aware of a criminal muPDF gang exploiting 5 year old muPDFs for the sweet sweet keys.
Since - uh - ebook pirates running muPDF probably isn't a large enough demographic for criminals
Edit:
This is why you really need to say *what* CVEs are involved, and what issues are the actual issues. Since just randomly saying "A security vulnerability" for both "Can turn on your camera while powered off, without turning on the camera light" and "There's an unexploited integer overflow" is just security theatre

@Osaka I'll give it a go. As long as it's legible and remembers where I am in my books, that's about all I need.
@Osaka Hmm, it also seems to lack a dark mode... which admittedly Libera only achieved by reversing the colours.
@Osaka I have confirmed that it does retain the last page you were on in your document. The lack of a dark mode irks me, but isn't a deal breaker (though I may have to forego reading in bed while my wife's asleep).
this is because the fdroid auto build tool chain is outdated but it's gonna be fixed soon as far as I know
or wait, is there a post with more info about it? Maybe I am confusing myself

This one is because Libera uses an outdated build of MuPDF because of compat with older phones, according to the GitHub issues
KOReader in F-Droid works very well after becoming familiar with the UI
