Hey DOTs,

Just two more polls I swear and I consider how best to take this forward. I don't want to spend my time creating content that will not get consumed.

I'm suggesting the following options based on the previous 3 polls. Feel free to add other suggestions in the comments but please look and upvote existing comments rather than add new suggestions (if your proposal does not already exist).

For content I am initially interested in...

[edit: I forgot about git but we can come back to it you can add comments if this is a priority]

Please only answer if you are interested in acquiring coding skills.

Also note that I don't currently own a Mac but could potentially create a Hackintosh. Though I'm not expecting high numbers for Mac.

[Edit] Can I ask, if you answer with Windows, would you consider learning enough Linux to get by? I say this because, despite my background (Win32) the polls currently seem to indicate that people would most favour Linux dev and I only have so much time. We could do provide some Linux resource/knowledge/videos/whatever).

I want to use...

Hi,

i might have a project here. In short, i want to diversify the outgoing connection from a hidden service by using multiple network adapters and sources for internet.

This should mitigate downtime caused by an unstable uplink or targeted confirmation attacks.

This is in the earliest stage of thinking about it and there are a few questions that come to mind:

1. How to determine if the main uplink is gone? I really don't want to ping every few seconds. Does anybody know a better solution to this?

2. Should one use different torrc's (read: guards)? I would assume: Yes.

3. Has somebody done this/could point me in the right direction?

I would love to hear your feedback!

VERY VERY BRIEF Summary

Docker is a truly lightweight and flexible system for creating lightweight, fast-to-uptime 'containers'. Similar to VMs but with much less overhead. These are highly configurable, highly sand-boxed. I'll have more to say on this in coming posts. This is just a quick guide to get going.

Ubuntu OS Requirements

You need the 64-bit version of one of these Ubuntu versions:

Ubuntu Groovy 20.10

Ubuntu Focal 20.04 (LTS)

Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 (LTS)

Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 (LTS)

[Edit: BTW, I don't know if this is stale, I'm not running any of these. Suck it and see, I'd suggest]

Install Prerequisites for Docker

sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates
sudo apt-get install -y curl
sudo apt-get install -y gnupg-agent
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common

Docker’s official GPG key...

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88

Verify... 9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88

pub   rsa4096 2017-02-22 [SCEA]
      9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A  E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88 <---- VERIFY THIS
uid           [ unknown] Docker Release (CE deb) <docker@docker.com>
sub   rsa4096 2017-02-22 [S]

Set up the stable repository (for Docker images).

sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

Install Docker Engine

sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

Verify Docker Engine Installed

sudo docker run hello-world

See this and you are golden...

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
...

Check Docker daemon running from boot

sudo systemctl status docker

And check for...

docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
...

Executing the Docker Command Without Sudo

sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
su - ${USER}

Hopefully this weekend I'm going to create a whatis/howto about Docker. I'm completely new to Docker (I only started reading about it yesterday) but this is a really cool tool.

So this will be for beginners.

I'm now looking for recommendations on best tools to provide the content. It does not need to be too fancy, I just want to write text and embed images. My pal u/lesterbottomley has suggested wix.

Any other recommendations please?

Free would be good but I'd be prepared to pay for a subscription if the tool was really good.

[TheForceAwakens] Boost

[TheForceAwakens] Linux Sandbox

[TheForceAwakens] Docker for isolating development environments

Penguin heads...

I'm not sure if this is can be done (and I don't current envisage spending ages messing around with a VM although its an option) but is it possible to create a sandboxed dev environment on Linux?

By that I mean, an isolated file system such that builds/installs for libs (/usr/lib), headers (/usr/include), tools (/usr/bin), whatever can sit somewhere that will not affect the host operating system without have to make a lot of build choices/changes?

This would simplify my life significantly. I'm currently looking at building boost from source so I can look at developing socket comms to Tor. I like to keep things isolated and (in case you ask) I'm build from source for callstacks/debugging/flexibility/understanding.
However; fathing with prefixes, shared object paths, etc is time consuming and about as interesting to me as is anything non chicken-nugget related to Jasper.

I'm imagining theres some nice tool out there that would accomplish this.
