If the coworker is a fucking thief, not only will I not like him, I will not 
treat him with respect either. Nor should I be expected to. Jesus did not 
"treat with respect" the fucking thieves who took over the temple; he flipped 
over their tables and chased them out with a whip. Your boss is/was an idiot.

Well said, Sagar.

GNU is great and all... except.. it's not.
It has flaws in it's core philosophies or well.. just practices.

I rely on minimalism for security, anonymity and other things.
I heard OpenMTPD or whatever it's called, from OpenBSD.. I'll probably use
that since I am already familiar with OpenBSD, thanks.

OpenSMTPD?
Let me guess, it's included within OpenBSD? :P
Well.. I'll need like 3 things from it..
1st be minimal - which I bet OpenSMTPD is.
2nd be written in C - I hope it is.
3rd be anonymous-friendly.. like I suppose pledge and unveil.. so since we're
on OpenBSD, that's a check as well.

Sounds good, I'll check it out someday, thanks.

Nano? Ew! haha
Yeah, same here basic features but in Vim I really found a few stuff great
such
as highlighting (could be done with ANSI escape codes such as \033[31m), then
indenting and appending lines to the entire file easily, like doing a `sed
's/^/> ' FILE`.
There are other things, I just forgot about them, but one of them would
also be
highlighted search.. like FreeBSD can have in `less`..  too bad OpenBSD
doesn't
have colors in `less` :d

What meme? I am an extremist-wanna-be.
I want in the future to not even use X11/Wayland, and do stuff in tty while
also using graphics such as mpv, Links with graphics and say games or
something, directly displayed to screen.
I got mpv to play directly, but I forgot how/where, recently.
It was either FreeBSD or OpenBSD.
On GNU/Linux it's quite easy, yada yada yada some framebuffer stuff.

Getting of topic, but basically, with lesser code-based comes easy audits for
security reasons, anonymity reasons as well as changing the code to one's own
will.

There is 100% ZERO excuse for Vim being that huge.
even 50SLOC would be too much for me.
Yes it can be done.
No, I do not need 100% of Vim's patches.

I know what I want, and so should you, if you wanna know what you use,
want to
understand the program, etc.
Old-school support that Vi and Vim might have? That should be optional, in my
opinion.. not sure what I'm exactly referring to, but I'm sure that they have
something like X11 has - legacy code.

I disagree, and time will show if I am right or not, once.. perhaps IF, I
"finish" my text editor project 'stte'.
But like I said: I do not require 100% of Vim features ;)
I can't remember 50% of them, let alone use them all.

Yeah, like I mentioned already: vim-tiny.
No fucking clue how much SLOC it is then, couldn't find in the README file.

2023-07-01 Thread Sagar Acharya
Large free software is not real free software. To customize one's software to 
one's needs, one has to understand it, tweak it and improve it. Bloated large 
free software does none.

Almost all GNU software is like that. It is unfortunate but one of the key 
reasons why GNU software survives is because it makes users dependent on it 
without allowing to shift to other software. Like gcc and linux.

Dovecot is nice, not sure if suckless. I love suckless philosophy, but
don't solely rely on it, I just don't mind larger 'bloated' programs if
they do one job well with little footprint. Dovecot's rather easy to
configure with TLS enforcing, open-DKIM, stuff like that. That's clear web
tho but you always need a clear web exit-node if you really want to reach
people.

OpenSMTPD, the only sanely configurable mailserver.

I use nano and mousepad. They are extremely minimal and fantastic! I need just 
some basic features in an editor like syntax highlighting, block indent and 
it's reverse, ability to edit :P , and nothing more!
Thanking you

Don't take the "bloat" meme too far.  Not all large
 programs are bad and not all small programs are
 good. Vim is a great editor, it is large because
 editing is a pretty comprehensive activity. You
 couldn't fit the functionality of vim in a smaller
 package and I don't think you could build it out of
 separate Unix-y pieces.

You can also compile out a lot of the bloat 
 features like the terminal emulator.

Cheers,
Miles

I deny non-top-notch anonymity not only because I consider it
immoral/unfair to
myself, but also because my life depends on it.
I've said/made/shared things with solid logic/linked evidence that puts
governments and/or corporations in ugliest/darkest/evilest of lights, if that
makes sense.. as well as done a few fun things such as denying the law
manipulation over my life :).


> I host my own and stuff works fine. (Dovecot, fetchmail, neomutt)

I am considering running my own suckless e-mail server, but only and only
after
I make my computers go trough a router/firewall rules to be 100% sure
there are
no clear-net leaks possible :-).

I heard that e-mail software is usually ultra-complex?
How hard can it be?
suckless.org has 'Mail clients', but I see no 'Mail servers'. What is
recommended?

Vim is also bloated as hell at over 70 SLOC (including comments and
everything, wc -l).. I'd rather just use pre-installed `vi`..
I did use Vim in the past. I do miss it, that's why I started my own text
editor that will be (I hope) as minimalistic as Vi, but as functional as Vim.
I seen there's vim-tiny or something? But I don't trust it to be suckless.

Just get a better e-mail provider. dnmx is cool when you need top-notch
anonymity, but this is just a regular dev forum.

I host my own and stuff works fine. (Dovecot, fetchmail, neomutt)

Vim has a nice feature for formatting text, you just visually select block
of text, press Gq and all text is <80c per line. Neomutt even passes some
argument to vim so that it trims lines automatically.

It's a difficult mindset to get into, but you just want to use the proper
tool for proper environment. All of us in this community tend to not do
that and just use the 'best by test' tools, but it really is important to
look for other solutions.

It's fairly easy to get really frustrated without even realizing it if
things just don't work and you keep to work around them all the time.

Hi!

Alright..
I did know it looked weird, but I thought it was fine because I use a dodgy
"dark-net" e-mail provider anyways, so the lining looked weird..

So how I do it is download the file (don't bother copy-pasting, new-line
doesn't get included so everything just gets joined in one line), and then
do a
pipe to `sed 's/^/> /'`.
I format my lines to 79c if it matters.

But I think everything breaks on the e-mail client in the browser... after
all,
I don't support ShitScripts in browsers, not have it enabled.

I'll play a bit with e-mail web-site settings and see if that helps.

Thanks for pointing it out, I do care how I look (starting from yesterday
:P).

EDIT: Ah, I know what happens.. I need to somehow get sed to split lines
into multiple ones before appending the '> '.. because the e-mail client
also splits them above 76 or something like that.. cool client, but fucks
up shit like this.

Any command or rather utility to do that? I'm looking at either sed with
brackets somehow, or probably something like `split`, `tr`? :/

I was planning a new personality anyways, thanks for the heads up.. sometimes
self-judging can be difficult and you helped in that way.
I guess I liked being childish, but I do not like all of consequences of
that.

I guess swearing is cool, regardless: I agree that my vocabulary is
limited, or
at least my usage of it, I also planned on dramaticaly expanding it, but
that'd
significantly increase my body's CPU usage when composing sentences, so I'll
have to see that trough to the end.

I liked acting like a monkey, but not being treated like one.. I guess stupid
of me, huh?
Perhaps that's one of ways I let out my stress/anger out without even
realizing
it.. so irresponsable!

Because of you, I grow, so I thank you deeply.

I apologize to everyone not who got offended, but to whom I was just a waste
of time.

P.S. I like some of vocabulary that the Christian bibles use such as 'thy',
'thereforth', 'whom', etc.
I guess a suckless bonus for those who read: I use a homemade one-liner to
browse trough words be it for a grammar check or just to remember the word
itself:

/* Output the list of words to dmenu, and after the user choose one, output

-nf \

I like how one could do just a couple of letters at the start, end and the
middle and it will give you the word you were looking for, which is
perfect for
grammar-checking, for example searching for "po s ble" when wanting to
know how
"possible" is spelled, etc.
The /usr/share/dict/words file might be in another path if it exist on the OS

This has nothing to do with governments or censorship. Governments don't care

I understand what you are talking about... I once told someone "go kill
yourself" or "I you die", never again..

I do understand that there are sensitive souls out there, but they are
coal of
a fire which gets started by governments and corporations with their
"moderation tools"..
I suppose my goal was and is to lower their sensitivity, so far, from
personal
experience, I found out that putting the blade straight into the fire for a
prolonged period of time can really harden it.

What I perhaps failed to realize is that not all blades are equal.
Yes, I don't want to be censored on here, and I don't want sensitive
people in
here, but I do want people, so goal should be to somehow change people from
sensitive to insensitive, tolerant.

I got a feeling like you and I are somehow connected, like you are me in past
life or something.. perhaps we are all just 1 split consciousness.

I feel, myself, like I'm at my limit, been for many many months..  due to my
never-ending eye problem..
Sensitive or not, computers seemed to heal me mentally.

I hope you live.. you never know what tomorrow might bring it might even
bring dead back alive... I sure hope so for myself, as I feel similar, I
suppose..

Hello, fossy.

I've been seing your messages around.
I'm not sure if I'm gonna see your reply. I din't think I'm gonna be stuck in

Just wanted to let you know to be a bit easier on people.

I used to be just like this and it brought me far.

All it took was one blow from life for everything to be taken away from me.

Don't make the same mistake.

Make good friends and commit to them.

Those words don't mean anything to me anymore. And they should to you. 
Otherwise, and I hope this isn't the case, you might suffer from a similar fate.

Consider this a warning from a dead man walking.

I don't demand anything from you.

I want you to be happy. Make people around you feel happy.

I am not an expert but my understanding is that chips really don't
bother with sampling radio signals at those speeds, it would be
extremely costly and overkill (this is what digital oscilloscopes to,
look at their price...).

In fact, you'll have some analog pre-processing that consists in
multiplying the signal by a fundamental frequency, the carrier, to
extract a usable signal at a frequency that can actually be handled by a
general-purpose chip (simplifying massively here).

Look up IQ streams and OFDM (modulation used for wifi signals).

In short you will need some specialised hardware no matter what, the
average ADC can't handle those speeds.

Uhh... Not really, WiFi is very complex, at the GHz speed, if you don't
factor in reverberations and work around it with very complex maths and
error correction, you'll have a range of a few centimeters. That was
solved in the 90s with a very lucrative patent from CSIRO:

Hope that brings in some perspective.

Re: [dev] Simpler WiFi alternatives

2023-05-14 Thread Josuah Demangeon
To anyone who was genuinely interested in the topic:

Since Arduino was pointed out, something on that level that is very widely used 
is the ESP32:
https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/hw-reference/esp32/get-started-ethernet-kit.html

It happens that WiFi is cheap: a piece of PCB trace does an antenna, and a tiny 
inductor acts as a balun, that's it, you mostly have your WiFi transceiver.

The other way around is also possible: An MCU supporting Ethernet, and adding 
WiFi to it:

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D53W05qaHySAI/adding-wifi-to-stm32

Maybe some MCU with both Ethernet and a WiFi interface would work too:

Ultimately, looking at what an existing product has could be insightful:

RTEMS is doing great work! Never tried it though.

Zephyr is getting a lot of contributions/popularity.
Possibly because it got a fancy website and is having the Linux Foundation logo 
on it.
Possibly because a few vendors (Nordic in particular) dropped their own 
proprietary
RTOS in favor of it.

There might eventually be examples on how to plug things together and get 
something like that working.

Last but not least, it is always possible to try to find a part with both 
ethernet and wifi support:

The choice of radio frequency will be based on suitability (available
bandwidth, propagation characteristics etc.) and regulatory matters
(world-wide availability etc.). The 5GHz band is also widely used now.

Typically the lower layers of the protocol stack (including the radio
for wireless and the electrical interface for wired) will use a
dedicated chip set, so the microprocessor device need only concern
itself with higher level data. For low speed systems there are even chip
sets (e.g. WIZnet [1]) which offload as high as the TCP layer, though
these are less flexible than handling TCP/IP in software.

A simpler alternative to WiFi is to use wires 8-)

Seriously, the radio frequency techniques necessary to provide
sufficient throughput for today's applications are inevitably complex.

The lowest frequency at which WiFi operates is the 2.4GHz band, an
Arduino (there are many variants, of which some will be faster) is
likely to be clocked at 10s of MHz so will be unable to generate
suitable radio frequency signals at its analogue pins.

Back in the '90s I was running TCP/IP over amateur radio at low data
rates (9600 bps) using KA9Q NOS [1] which was a single C program for
DOS. It's probably close to the minimum needed for a router, although it
does typically include some application level features.

These days even embedded systems will likely use an RTOS which may
include an existing protocol stack, e.g. RTEMS [2] uses a port of the
FreeBSD stack.

Hi,

* Laslo Hunhold 2023-05-13 09:51

Even though I absolutely am for free speech and against censorship,
especially self-censorship due to "political correctness" (slippery
slope), what good is free speech when nobody listens? This happens both
when there's little signal over noise and the thread becomes hostile,
because people just check out.


Can't agree more. 


Suckless has always strived to be apolitical in terms of current
societal debates, and it's the only hacker community of that kind that
I know of in Germany. There are enough places to discuss the
current heated politial topics on the web, this is not it.


Everything is political, so is suckless, too, but I agree that it has
been a place where the "hot" politics have been avoided. This is good,
IMO, not because it's good to be apolitical, but because the
polarisation in hot societal debates, doesn't really enable an useful
discourse that contributes to developing better ideas or advance
understanding. The knowledge gain is close to zero.


Freedom isn't free, and in regard to free speech, I think the
responsibility of each individual is to make use of it only as much as
necessary.


Not sure I understand this correctly, but I think it's similar to what I
wanted to add to the thread; let me phrase it differently: abusing the
free speech argument to justify tone and style is just as harmful as
(self-)censorship. Freedom of speach is about ideas and messages.

C program which can be run on Arduino and analog pins connected to an antenna.

I did read this book "IPv6 essentials". What I want is a single C programs 
which distributed packets to say, 5 connected devices. The logic sounds pretty 
easy. Tag each request with an id, send, recieve and send it back to that 
device. Initially, handshakes would connect such devices.

Josuah's takes were interesting. I suggest you don't mind going along the

It's pretty clear that you don't know enough about the internet, its protocols
and how communication and addressing works. It's a complex mess and what
you're trying to do won't work. You should acquire basic knowledge in order
to ask more precise questions or, more importantly, answer them yourself.
Start to inform yourself about networking and the inner workings of networking
devices instead of spamming this list with the same stuff over and over again.

You wanted a simple reply? You got a fucking storm lmao, enjoy.


A router is software (Linus Tech Tips made a video called 'Routers suck, make
your own"), but can be ASICs that are built specifically to perform best at
this and that (say enforcing firewall rules, etc.).


I know almost nothing on the matter (other than what I previously said),
but I
know this one thing for sure: it's not suckless enough :D.

And there are alternatives to WiFi(althogh you only mentioned it in the
title?).

A couple of them, but I think that you need to choose your target:
- short-range
- middle-range
- high-range

If I went with anything, I'd go with high-range, because I think that the
internet as a whole network is getting shittier and shittier, partially
because
of worse and worse laws.
Meaning all access more-less, to the internet is right now shit, and
pro-capitalism, pro-dependence, imagine it in 10 years: all 6G, only 10
meters
range for 1T speeds for all of your bloated ShitScripts and 8k movies on a
fucking phone (not yours, but theirs) and you walking on the Amazon walk
thing
that has WiFi lmao.

A few high-range (I'd say alternatives, but I don't think there's anything
but
radio at that range, on a higher scale) protocols, I guess.

One of them, although shitty, is god dammit what is it called LoRaWAN I
think.
But it's proprietary, that's the shitty part.. something something patents
something.. patented I think.
I took fucking notes SOMEWHERE about this, but cannot remember.. searching
for
them for a while.. fuck them.

LoRaWAN is like up to >10km with perfect clearing, but throw a tree here and
there, and what do you get? even if 1km, that's fucking awesome, in my
opinion!

There's an alternative to the super-cool LoRaWAN, here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoRaWAN#See_also
I think last time I looked at this, the best seemed to be DASH7.

They even compare them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DASH7
DASH7 is 0-5km, etc.
Also LoRaWAN has that high range with low power, which is a) suprising and 2)
important.. not sure about DASH7.


And when I was figuring out networking and shit, I thought to myself: what if
most of networking was wireless (say a mesh network over something like
Yggdrasil, without ISPs, without internet, 100% free except hardware and
electricity.

I wasn't sure how it worked, but then again: you don't connect to 100
routers when using I2Pd, right? This means there'll be a limit, so then
everything in my head just clicked together except how the fuck do you
connect
to all peers necessary oh well have maybe 10 antennas? But what, you want
high-range? Doesn't that also mean narrow-band or whatever I want to say
narrow
signal? Like would do only 1 degree out of 360 or something lol, but a high
high distance..

H


Perhaps this is not what you wanted, and I'm a little wasting my time, again:
title confusing with e-mail body.


WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
> "Ground breaking world record! LoRaWAN packet received at 702 km (436
miles)
distance"

In LoRaWAN references.. HOLY SHIT!


Anyways..
If you gonna build anything, having it suckless would be cool.
What would also be cool is the following things:
Can I have shit like firewall?
Like I want to deny/allow access STRICTLY to say shit like I2P/Tor, perhaps
have that optional?

What about hardware, though? I think we should be moving more towards FPGAs
because of hardware verification utopia:
Open Source is Insufficient to Solve Trust Problems in Hardware:

I agree that routers shouldn't be a whole OS like OpenWRT, but then again:
should it instead be machine assembly?
If you gonna write C, you are probably going to have some sort of embedded
system, no? Hmmm
I'd like to see a tiny thing, like RPI, doing say 1G networking, 3-5 ethernet
ports and like 1-5 antennas.
Would I buy one? Hell no, de-anon :(. That's one of fucking curses of
remaining
anonymous.


Holy shit, who makes something on GNU/Linux anymore? Phew, asking for
security
problems, I tell you!
At least use like FreeBSD or preferably OpenBSD, stupid routers!
HAHAHA OpenWRT is written in Lua?


But yeah.. not sure if I'd like buy one, but putting it together myself on a
breadboard? I could 100% do that.
Not sure how I'd fucking do that if 1000 components, but if <50, I could
do it,
after a few shows of alcohol to calm hands (if we talking CMR or whatever
those
small things are).

what about a RPI project? I have them, and many people have them, as well as
they could be already very familiar to some people.
Someone I think hosted a fucking website on a Raspberry Pi pico or something,
like 100M of RAM! hah!

[dev] Simpler WiFi alternatives

2023-05-10 Thread Sagar Acharya
I think routers ought to be way simpler than they currently are. I wonder if 
y'all can recommend me some minimal C code which can be used as a router.

I think that if the analog pins of arduino are connected to an antenna, and a C 
code similar to,

while 1
    If (switch_1==1)        create_connection_with_handshake()
    else if (switch_1==0)        send_packet_to_isp()
        receive_packet_from_isp()
        
Something like that. Are there some existent projects like that? I really don't 
think a router requires LibreCMC or OpenWRT like gigantic OSes.


Thanking you
