My ideology

I dislike the amount of politics in software development currently. People hating good things because of the person that made it. I entirely believe you separate the creation from the creator. That if someone does something bad you don’t make it worse by throwing away the good they have done. If you say “I don’t like X because it was -made by Y”, you’ve just stated you made your ability to objectively observe something benign in the pursuit of bias.

Friend’s Projects

Fossbench

Fossbench is a simple accurate open source benchmarking software. They have a site for results @fossbench.net.

Wii Linux

By techflash

I’m only mutual friends with him but I thought I’d put this here because it’s really cool! Techflash is a wizard with low level programming.

0druid.cc

By Druid

It may be druid.rocks by now. -Druid is a friend of mine and a low level programmer. He’s done projects where he made kernels, hosted DNS, NTP, IRC, and other various services. That’s his website where whatever he is currently doing will be at.

NetWasp

By eula

From the website “netwasp is a suckless git forge managed by soft serve”. I happen to have ssh access even tho I’m not a crazy programmer :D

Maclean

By Cyb3rKo

Maclean is in the AUR under maclean-git. It’s just a temp files & cache cleaning CLI tool, but it’ll get you back a surprising amount of space. Obviously it doesn’t run in the background and isn’t heavy at all like some cleaners I’ve seen.

Obscura VPN

By Sovereign Engineering Inc.

Obscura is a really cool VPN. You gernerate an anonymous account number and load it with various, some being anonymous, payment methods. That’s how you register & login. That alone isn’t unusual, Mullvad does the same thing right? This is the cool part, Obscura is layered with Mullvad exit nodes. So your traffic is encrypted from you to the Mullvad exit node with the Obscura node acting as a relay in between. The reason this is beneficial is because you are ‘pretty’ anonymous to the obscura node, but they know your original IP, OS, etc. They have access to information they could use to tie it to you even though they claim they don’t log it like Mullvad. But because you connect to the Mullvad exit node through the Obscura relay you stay 100% anonymous to the exit node. Meaning sites you visit and your traffic is entirely untied to an identity. All the exit node knows is it’s connected to Obscura, and all Obscura knows is that you connected.

Installation itself

Very easy, good jobs on the devs overall. My upstream is 9.9.9.9:853 and I have wireguard running on that VM so it proxies to one of my VPSes in another country.

Mullvad linux client LAN sharing

It does NOT play nice. It does not let you use your own DNS even with lockdown mode off, LAN sharing on, and custom DNS enabled. DNS goes out and it doesn’t get it back from adguard because mullvad actually never changes the interfaces DNS to the custom one. It only changes it to SEND dns queries, not RECEIVE, so you are effectively left WITHOUT DNS unless you set it manually like so.

Slow VPS due to bad luck w BGP

The VPS

The VPS itself was a 10GB/s VPS with enough hardware to handle most of that throughput on a wireguard tunnel. The iperf3 test I ran outisde of the tunnel would show ~70-100mb of download. The YABS from VPS to multiple clearnet WAN test points would show correct speeds. My conclusion is it was probably bad luck with the BGP routing, one of the hops is probably just incredibly slow or dated equipment. Take this as a lesson that if you are going to subscribe to remote networking equipment to get 1 month first and test its performance against advertised or promised performance, then purchase the rest of the subscription time.

Iperf3 without the tunnel averages to 14.6 Mbits/sec. As for the yabs;

    Trying to install Windows

    Installing windows from Linux

    I attempted to install Windows on a new 512GB NVMe I bought so I can put Windows on it to play Tarkov. Big mistake.

    See it wants this driver to be able to sense the storage. The driver is the RAID or SATA driver from the manufactureres website. It has to be on the same drive as the installation media but if you dd the windows ISO onto the flash drive its read only. Using ventoy didn’t help either. The driver just didn’t work.

    Giving up and installing windows from windows

    Without using the Windows Media Installation tool you will have to install drivers from your motherboard manufacturers website. If they don’t work you’re screwed. I eventually gave up and used the installation tool on a windows laptop of mine. This worked fine OOB, didn’t even need the driver. It then proceeded to be a normal windows installation and take 2 hours. -Using rufus you can automatically configure some things like a local account.
