Just the Tip

• Paden talks about CIFS.
  • The Arch Linux wiki has a pretty good article on it.

Notes

Starts at 20m50s.

I was drinking a Left Hand Brewery Nitro Milk Stout. Paden was drinking water. Jthan was drinking Rolling Rock.

• Personal Projects
  • Paden is working on setting up a PBX.
    • Paden and I mention Voip.ms and Vitelity for SIP trunking.
    • We mention FreePBX, Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, and BlueBox
  • Jthan was playing with Wiki.js.
  • He also moved our Discord/IRC BridgeBot to Amazon EC2.
  • He also set up a test instance of Nextcloud.
    • He set it up with Wasabi storage and wants to play with link-sharing protection.
  • He also is bemoaning the OpenVPN Android app because Android is aggressive about putting your wifi antenna to sleep when the display turns off.
    • He still has a hard-on for Slack Nebula.
      • But he complains about it all the time lol.
      • The “certificates” that Nebula uses? Not actually real X.509 certificates, so they completely lack the X.509 supporting architecture and tooling.
      • Again, Wireguard is nothing new. It’s the exact same concept as, say, Lantern, tinc, Hyperboria, cjdns and a slew of others. There is nothing revolutionary about Wireguard (or Nebula).
  • I’m replacing iptables/shorewall with nftables on my router box.

15 Clams

In this segment, Jthan shares with you a little slice of life. The title is a reference to this video. (2m16s in)

Starts at 49m30s.

Jthan wonders if it’s worth it to run a firewall at the border and in the OS instance on AWS EC2. (It is.)

Errata

• Yeah, California removed their felony criminalization of engaging in unprotected sex without disclosing your HIV status.
  • The full text.
• Jthan is correct, it is in fact Proposition 65.
• The British DO pronounce “herbs” with a hard H!
• I now work for NetFire.
• The Nile River is, indeed, freshwater.
• I was wrong, CIFS refers to version 1 of SMB. Whoops. (They’re used fairly interchangeably in the Linux world.)
• Slack was bought by Salesforce.
• Hotdog girl gif.
