@Wolf480pl 1. libressl keeps the openssl binary for compatibility, and annoyingly it works with no errors.3. this is what i had last time but every time the certs expire it makes a whole mess.

Who are these people that are worried they won't have enough to keep from boredom in self-isolation?If you can do programming, I have a ton of ideas for software I would like to exist that currently doesn't.Please take my ideas and turn them into code.

Learned a new way to truncate a file from a shell, it’s so simple:> filenameYou execute no command and redirect the output to the filename you’d like to truncate. It gets opened for writing, truncates it, writes nothing, then closes it again.

@markosaric "No personal data collected" is perhaps a goal, but looking at your dashboard I bet you can't guarantee it. A referrer or mistyped URL would be enough to uniquely identify a user.You are also tracking "visitors" which means you have some way of linking page views for the user, and this must be on some key that can uniquely identify that user.The website also talks about tracking devices and country, which again could uniquely identify a user.Other than big claims, what steps have you taken to protect privacy? I'd love to read a design document or something like that.

@markosaric I'm not going to claim to be a GDPR expert, but that's irrelevant as the claim is that you've not collected personal data. I think it is reasonable to say that personal data would include personally identifying data.The main concern when storing data if you want to protect privacy should be to prevent linkability, however to count unique visitors precisely requires linkability. You may hash IP addresses but when the user returns, you'll hash the IP address again and be able to confirm that it is the same user. In this way, you've stored personally identifying data.You've not anonymised data, you've given users pseudonyms, which is not the same thing.I bet that the combination of country code and brand of operating system would be enough to uniquely identify a visitor too in a non-zero number of cases.

@kemonine I was wondering what the alternative would be, I'll check it out, thanks.

Going to try rebooting some things (including this Pleroma instance). If I'm not back in an hour, things went bad. :flan_worried: :flan_set_fire:

@feld it was just applying syspatch and rebooting all the VMs, and the VM host, but it's the first time I've actually rebooted it since setting it up so it's always a little scary.

Would anyone like to take the domain hack.pictures? It was originally purchased for a pixelfed instance that never appeared.Here's the deal: I'll add whatever DNS records you want for the domain, and you have a week to do something with it, and if I see you've got stuff set up then I'll transfer it to you.I don't want your money but your registrar might charge you for the transfer.Boots welcome.

@xerz If you're interested this, I'd recommend giving this paper a read:https://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/bitstream/handle/10023/15946/claw2018.pdfThe author came to speak at a local meetup and gave a great presentation on it.

@xerz @sir you should read my blog and my friends’ blogs. I make it easy for you by linking to an OPML file from my website and you can import us all at once. https://Iain.learmonth.me/Was thinking to add OPML support to openring so that I can keep everything in sync in one place. (I generate the OPML from my FOAF document)

@kravietz Individual IP addresses get rotated, but still within the same subnet. A subnet can easily represent only a single person. Selling IPv6 as privacy enhancing is really stretching the truth.I'm also not convinced it gives better performance or latency, given that everywhere I have IPv6 it's going via tunnels.

@kravietz ISPs do dynamic addressing with IPv4 too. This is no different.This is not a feature of IPv6, it's how they've chosen to manage addressing, which could be applied to any addressing scheme.A recent-ish paper showed that even /48 aggregation can still uniquely identify a single customer.https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.03900.pdfIf you're using your computer at work, you were probably getting more privacy from IPv4 NAT aggregation than you are from IPv6 address rotation, most enterprises will have fixed addressing to make network management easier.
