JMP: Privacy and Threat Modelling
One often hears people ask if a product or service is “good for privacy” or if some practice they intend to incorporate is “good enough” for their privacy needs.  The problem with most such questions is that they often lack the necessary context, called a threat model, in order to even begin to understand how to answer them.  Understanding your own threat model (and making any implicit model you carry more explicit to yourself) is one of the most important steps you can take to im … ⌘ Read more

Paul Schaub: Using Pushdown Automata to verify Packet Sequences
As a software developer, most of my work day is spent working practically by coding and hacking away. Recently though I stumbled across an interesting problem which required another, more theoretical approach;

An OpenPGP message contains of a sequence of packets. There are signatures, encrypted data packets and their accompanying encrypted session keys, compressed data and literal data, the latter being the packet … ⌘ Read more

GoToSocial seems like a promising alternative to Mastodon. It’s written in Go (👍 in my opinion), lightweight and pretty good documented so far. It’s still “alpha software” but seems to make great progress. In the past, I self hosted a microblog.pub instance and then after some time without any Fediverse profile other than my blog, which has ActivityPub support as well, signed up at Fosstodon to be able to reply to blog comments from the Fediverse. I already set up an instace of GTS, but will probably wait to use it … ⌘ Read more

wsl-vpnkit: Internet for WSL2 distros behind a VPN
I’m still alive. 👋 Today, at work, I discovered a nice little tool for WSL2. On my work laptop I need to use Cisco AnyConnect to connect to the corporate network. Unfortunately this blocks Internet access in Windows Subsystem for Linux VMs (at least in the Ubuntu VM, I tried to use for some Docker stuff). I tried a lot of different hacks and workarounds, but none worked. Until I found wsl-vpnkit. It just works. 😄 ⌘ Read more

Arnaud Joset: Updates: chatty server and HTTPAuthentificationOverXMPP
It’s been a long time since I updated this blog. It will be a short update post about two projects.

chatty_server

It also has a small feature to get reminder messages. There was a bug that allowed anyone to spam reminders. Anybody can add the bot to their rooster and could create random reminders t … ⌘ Read more

Monal IM: Monal IM – project moved
We recently started to migrate the App from Anu Pokharel‘s Apple account to Thilo Molitor‘s Apple account.

Aspart of this transition we also deployed some new push servers to not let an old retired developer pay for the infrastructure needed for Monal.

Coming along with this transition from the old developer team to the new one is our new clean website at https://monal-im.org/. From now on, this blog will not be used for Monal anymore.

Dino: Stateless File Sharing: Async, Metadata with Thumbnails and some UI

Async

Asynchronous programming is a neat tool, until you work with a foreign project in a foreign language using it.
As a messenger, Dino uses lots of asynchronous code, not always though.
Usually my progress wasn’t interfered by such instances, but sometimes I had to work around it.

Async in Vala

No surprises here.
Functions are annotated with async, and yield expressions that are asyn … ⌘ Read more
