If anyone is up for a small #cipher #scavengerhunt for the weekend I have something for you. You just have to find it at https://qwertqwefsday.eu/start.txt

It is entirely possible that I broke something along the way, so please ask for hints if you are not getting anywhere. If there is some interaction I will probably publish a solution around 2020-11-29T18:00Z

I think I'll add support for multiple certificates based on SNI next, but that will inevitably mean a breaking change to the current command line flags because of the --cert and --key flags. Not sure if that is a good idea because it makes the server more complicated.

#agate

Finally got around to adding automated tests to #agate in v2.5.3. Brings me some piece of mind when I'm working on it and not always quite sure what I'm doing. 😅

erm, Firefox, what is this? (hint: I am not talking about Twitter)

Just moved all my passwords out of #LastPass and into #KeePass 2. I am still using their 2FA Android app. Any recommendations apart from something like Google authenticator?

What would be the absolute dead simplest #ActivityPub software for a complete idiot of sysadmin like me to set up (single user use case probably)? I'm not sure Pleroma or Mastodon are that software.

In version 2.5.0 of #agate quite a lot has changed. For example virtual hosts for multiple domains and "*"-globs in configuration files have been added.
You can check out what changed on the release page or in the changelog file (also new to try to reduce dependence on GitHub).

Design question: the Agate server currently uses a sidecar file that only allows to set configuration for files in the same directory, for individual files. This is so it doesn't have to check directories recursively, see Apache performance problems.
On the other hand I want Agate to stay a "very simple Gemini server" and a central configuration file feels contrary to that, especially if it would allow to set info for whole directories. But that is also quite useful.

Any ideas?

Hi @derek ,
saw your video about #Gemini today. Wanted to comment on what you said about Agate:
* The error with the IPv6 address in the README has been fixed.
* You could probably have saved 9 minutes by downloading one of the prebuilt binaries from https://github.com/mbrubeck/agate/releases (if not, which platform is missing?)
* To make it even easier to use Agate, some files for use with systemd have been added. Any feedback on those would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for featuring Agate!

Can we make "But does it run a Gemini server" the new "But does it run Doom?" please?

Almost forgot 😨

Happy Birthday @stux !

There is a new version of #agate #gemini #server (v2.4.0) with quite a few improvements. Check out https://github.com/mbrubeck/agate/releases/tag/v2.4.0 for more info.

As this is my first time releasing a crate, please let me know if I broke something. 😨

Are there some #rustlang people here that have released #crates to #cratesio? If so what is your release process, do you use any tools?
Especially interested in cross compilation stuff.

Today is #changeyourpasswordday, a gentle reminder that if you (have to) use this policy, it's trash. Users will tend to make serial passwords like password1, password2 etc. which is overall less secure than an actually strong password used over a (very) long time.
