Hi,

by doing a

ps aux | grep UserName

The output do not keep the LF[^1] 😡

I've found some solution online by they involve 3 or more pipe | !

On my side, I've made this

ps -fp $(pgrep -d, -u UserName)

But still I found it not super human readable.

Is their a native way with ps to filter users ? or to grep it but the keep the LF ?

Hi,

I've seen some tutorial to create EdDSA key with Gnupg

gpg --full-gen-key

and it's supposed to allow me to create ECC key, but I see only

Please select what kind of key you want:
(1) RSA and RSA (default)
(2) DSA and Elgamal
(3) DSA (sign only)
(4) RSA (sign only)
(14) Existing key from card
Your selection?\

gpg --version show:

...
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.27
Supported algorithms:
Pubkey: RSA, ELG, DSA, ECDH, ECDSA, EDDSA
...

Any idea what's wrong ?

Hi,

I would like to use Gnupg to encrypt, sign... documents.

I've downloaded the Manual, it's quite extensive. So the learning curve is proportional :)

I've tried the GPA GUI, but with it, it seem impossible to generate an ECC key..

So what would be your recommendation to be able to generate ECC keys, be able to encrypt, sign etc.. with or without GUI.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm currently struggling to connect to TOR (see my previous posts)

Therefore I'm looking in the documentation and in the support community. (and been already greatly helped trough lemmy :) )

I was considering to use also the official TOR forum

But I'm surprised that for a project that claim to protect users anonymity and freedom of WWW to use a forum that

• request an email address[^one]
• That a moderator [^two] need to approve the account
• that each new post need to be approved !

So I can't use it[^one] , hopefully their is Lemmy :D

[^one]: Do you know a lot of email service that do not require to provide a proof of ID ? (phone number, ISP email etc..) ? So hard to keep anonymous in those conditions..

.

[^two]: Moderation do not exist, it is simply censorship, see the work of Noam Chomsky
"If the freedom of expression is limited to the ideas that we like, it is not freedom of expression."

Hi,

I would like to display the new lines of /var/log/messages that contain either IN_MyText or OUT_MyText (no matter where in the line)

I've tried

tail -fn 3 /var/log/messages | grep --color --line-buffered -e "(IN|OUT)_MyText"

But the output stay blank, when it should not...

Any ideas ?

Hi,

I've just installed tor ( 0.4.5.16 )

When I launch it ( debian fork ) I'm stuck at

Opened Socks listener connection (ready) on 127.0.0.1:9050

I have a strong set of nftables maybe that what block it ?

What should open in order to have tor connect ?

Thanks.

Hi,
in etc/tor/torrc (the tor config file) we can read the following

## Entry policies to allow/deny SOCKS requests based on IP address.
## First entry that matches wins. If no SocksPolicy is set, we accept
## all (and only) requests that reach a SocksPort. Untrusted users who
## can access your SocksPort may be able to learn about the connections
## you make.
#SocksPolicy accept 192.168.0.0/16
#SocksPolicy reject *\

I don't understand, is this for the TOR network to query the local daemon ? or is it for LAN node to use the local TOR daemon ?

Thanks

To the developer working on SimpleX,

Why are you still using Microsoft Github ? (and by extend Reddit ! )

I had myself a question for the maintainers. I was planning to use the discussions and to do so, create an account :'( But it seem that Microsoft really doesn't like Tor:

Cheers.

Hi,

Does anyone, know if SimpleX plan to embed Tor ? ( To not need to install Orbot )

Thanks.

Hi,

I've just tested SimpleX. Great piece of software, all the options are really well thought ...

Sadly it's not P2P (all the messages pass by servers... ) is there a way to make-it P2P ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm looking for an instant messaging ( IM ) ~~apps~~ software/protocol that run on Android and computer

and meet the following requirements :

• Open source !
• E2EE
• Messages are send in direct ! (not passing by a server)
• handle group
• Truly private ! ( That's the tricky part )

The closest that I've found is Briar

• +can work without internet ! (bluetooth, local wifi, files !)
• + use TOR
• - Mutual party have to exchange key (or your can introduce someone)
• - sending media suck for now, poor image quality
• - no call or voice messaging

I've been looking for alternatives:

• ~~Session~~
  • Sadly it keep ALL the conversation into server !!! so it's a no go.
• speek
  • I didn't try it yet, any feedback ?
• simplex
  • it look very promising ! (didn't tried it yet)
  • + seem to handle multiple profile in one !
  • + do not require that both party send an invitation !
    • and have also a optional long term address
  • ~~! I didn't found (yet) if the messages are send in direct or pass by a server..~~
    It's not P2P all the messages pass by servers.. too bad.

All post about alternatives or experience with the one that I cited are welcome.
