  • Oh, neat! Never noticed that option in the Wireguard app before. That’s very helpful already. Regarding your opnsense setup:

    I’ve dabbled in some (simple) routing before, but I’m far from anything one could call competent in that regard and even if I’d read up properly before writing my own routes/rules, I’d probably still wouldn’t trust that I hadn’t forgotten something to e.g. prevent IP/DNS leaks.

    I’m mainly relying on a Docker and was hoping for pointers on how to configure a Wireguard host container to route only internet traffic through another Wireguard Client container.

    I found this example, which is pretty close to my ideal setup. I’ll read up on that.





  • Sure, the code is completely client-side, simply clone it. If you’re running into CORS problems due to the file:// scheme Origin of opening a local file, simply host it as a local temporary server with something like python -m http.server .

    This is due to the two ways most instances validate Cross-Origin requests:


    • Sending Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * (allow all hosts)
    • Dynamically putting your Origin into the Origin header of the response to your requests by the backend

    file:// URLs will result in a null or file:// Origin which can’t be authorized via the second option, therefore the need to sometimes host the application via (local) webserver.


  • The whole point of this being a web app is to make it as easy as possible for the user to download/modify/transfer their user data. LASIM is a traditional app the user has to download and install, similar to a script this web app was developed to replace due to being too difficult to use for some users.

    The import functionality targeted by this API is additive and my app features a built-in editor to add, modify or remove information as the user sees fit. To achieve your stated goal, you’d have to remove anything except the blocked_users entries before importing, which my app supports, I added a wiki entry explaining the workflow in more Detail.

    I may add options to modify the exported data in some ways via a simple checkbox in the future, but I wouldn’t count on it. I’m always open for pull requests!



  • The export/import functionality is, yes. This implementation uses the same API endpoints, but the main reason for this existing:

    An instance I was on slowly died, starting with the frontend (default web UI). At least at the time, no client implemented the export/import functionality, so I wrote a simple script in Bash to download the user data, if the backend still works. Running a script can still be a challenge to some users, so I wrote a web application with the same functionality. It’s a bit redundant if we’re talking about regularly working instances, but can be of use if the frontend isn’t available for some reason.



  • Misleading title.

    In the string of images uploaded online, we get a look at file repositories, a rough map of the proposed Moon location, and shots of some early conceptual images and set pieces. As the story goes, CDPR originally intended for the Moon to be a featured location in the base game but recognised that it was too ambitious a goal, so they cut the content and instead decided to use it for an expansion – which ultimately never surfaced.

    Cyberpunk 2077’s development has officially ended, so there’s no chance this will ever see the light of day.











  • This one is absolutely hilarious.

    The guy allegedly knows his stuff from a technical point of view. And yet he searches for very specific info on google while logged in to his personal google account and further links his personal accounts to a forum where he proceeds to advertise his darknet marketplace and to SO where he asks for very specific advice?

    This muppet searched for very specific infos on components he wanted to develop on his *personal fucking google account and implemented them shortly afterwards.

    He literally panic searched, again, on his personal google account on Google in order to debug his server going down - minutes after the FBI temporally took his server physically offline to grab an image from it.

    I expected elaborate timing and traffic correlation attacks, I got a stupid scammer treating his drug empire as a hobby project for his resume. Glorious.
