 LOL. Ever heard of PGP?

Problem with PGP is that the recipient also needs PGP to be able to read
the email from senders using PGP this is not typically the case in most
email cases.  For instance this list doesn't support PGP transport
(otherwise the subscription options would necessarily include an exchange
of public keys so that you could send/receive PGP encapsulated email to
the mailing list).

Re: [freenet-support] mailing list subscriber email should bypass spam blockers

2004-05-18 Thread Christopher Brian Jack
  What exactly happens? I don't think the spam filtering we have on dodo
  would arbitrarily discard messages from DSL hosts, they might be
  slightly more likely to be held...

 It seems dodo is using the blacklist server SORBS (www.dnsbl.sorbs.net).

This definately will discard messages from a majority of hobbyist
residential internet sites (read: cannot afford business accounts which
offer static IP addressing) running their own MTAs.

 If you click on the Check Entry button on this page, you
 will find the reason for rejection.

I know all about SORBS and its overzealous blocking policy.

[freenet-support] mailing list subscriber email should bypass spam blockers

2004-05-17 Thread Christopher Brian Jack

And to further the mail objection against having to use my ISP's mailer
to talk to *this* list is that Shaw in theory can now look at my mail
traffic and if they don't like the Freenet project, could suspend my
internet account in a similar manner to how PayPal suspended yours.

Please, please, please FIX this and allow direct MTA connections from
subscribed members only.  Having to go thru the ISP mail server is a MAJOR
privacy concern for me (I know from sysadmin experience that they can look
at any mail passing thru their server at any time).

Just remember every ISP you're forcing subscribers to send their mail
through may be the next 'PayPal'.

Also note that you have an identity of the sender (they subscribed after
all) so if you get a spam from a subscriber you know who to tar and
feather so there's no reason to use the overzealous IP blocking services
on mailing list subscribers.

 I'm guessing the next people they freeze are going to be people that have
 their picture on their website and they appear to be northeastern Saudi
 Arabian becuase they might be laundering funds for terrorism?

 Your situation needs answers.  Unfortunately PayPal is probably pretty
 well legally grounded and there won't be much you can do.  And to date I
 haven't read a slashdot post about it yet.

 Maybe you should suggest people start sending money orders to the project
 maintainers directly?

 Another suggestion, what about SourceForge's donation system, or does THAT
 go thru paypal too?  Of all the open source projects, how many of THEM
 pertain to some sort of anonymization project?  Is PayPal going to freeze
 them too?

 You might want to ask the sourceforge people for help on this one.

 Freenet stable build 5076 is now available. The snapshots have been
 updated. You can get the build via the update.sh script on Linux, BSD,
 or OS/X, or use the freenet-webinstall.exe utility to update on Windows,
 or get the jar from
 http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-latest.jar . All stable
 branch users should upgrade.
 Major changes:
 * Make 5074 mandatory. Most nodes seem to have upgraded... This is
   necessary for the next item.
 * Send the minRequestInterval on the IdentifyPacketMessage, a message
   that is exchanged when a connection is opened. This will improve the
   accuracy of rate limiting.
 * Fix a serious bug in the new NGRoutingTable discard-sort order (i.e.
   the algorithm that decides which node to drop when we want to drop a
   node from the routing table). The bug would have caused new nodes that
   can't be connected to to persist in the routing table forever. It was
   introduced in 5075.

How does this stable build compare to unstable 60012?

Re: [freenet-support] doctype and other html tags through fproxy

2004-03-15 Thread Christopher Brian Jack
 !DOCTYPE, instead of
 !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC  blah blah

 The test site I inserted into my own node did have a full doctype tag
 when I wrote it, but it didn't when I retrieved it, it just had !DOCTYPE.

 Is this due to fproxy's anonymity filter? If so, why does it
 remove/shorten them? Also, I've noticed that the default gateway page
 does have a full doctype tag, why, if  is fproxy that removes the tags
 from freesites, does it let this one through?

This is a very likely possibility because the doctype makes reference to a
W3C DTD which is a public internet link.  The annonymity filter needs to
remove references to internet sites since most browsers will send a
referral URL that invades your privacy (it essence if the web browser goes
to the validation site it will do so with the address of the page you are
viewing.  This invades your privacy becomes someone reading the access
logs can find out what freesite you were visiting).  The government could
subpoena W3C's weblogs to find out about freesite accesses and they'll
have an IP number attached to the visit to their site so the referral
freesite URI + the IP number access in W3C's log could be used against you
if the material you were accessing is outlawed in the jurisdiction of
W3C's server or any government system that sees packets along the route to
W3C.  They could visit the same freesite by the referal URI and find out
what book you were reading at the time

 2.  I have noticed on some pages they have this sort of section in the
 header:

 !--index
 titleThe Freedom Engine/title
 categoryIndex/category
 descriptionThe mother of all freesite link lists./description
 activelinkActiveLink.jpg/activelink
 address typeDBR/address type
 authorCofE/author
 --

These are the meta tags used by freesites to support their inclusion onto
the various indexing freesites.

title - ovbious, this is the site's name
category - what kind of site is this?  I don't have knowledge
   about what acceptable values for this are
description - textual description of the freesite
activelink - the site icon to be associated with your freesite
 (think like the little banner icons many people
  put onto their regular internet websites for
  people to link to them with)
addresstype - again I'm iffy on all the acceptable values but DBR
  AFAIK means the address of this freesite permutates
  automatically to a different site name either daily or
  weekly at midnight GMT.  A site marked as DBR has to
  reinsert itself at the new DBR generated redirect
  key or the site effectively disappears (unless you
  select go to earlier site in the error screen that
  comes up for references to DBR sites that haven't
  been updated yet [or your routing can't find the new
  content yet]).

The alternative to DBR is to using revisions by putting an integer in the
URI part of your site.  You start the integer at 1 on your first insertion
of the site.  Your site forward references a number of 'editions' ahead
(that you have not yet inserted) by refering to the same uri echanging 1
for 2, 2,3 3,4 etc for several steps (usally four or five).  You have an
activelink image on each edition so on the existing (edition 1) page shows
up for edition 1.  If you haven't inserted a new edition then the other
activelinks show up as broken images.  But if at somepoint you insert with
the integer now set to 2 the #2 activelink comes alive and the visitor to
the #1 site now knows (by the unbroken activelink) that a second edition
is now available.  To be nice to people that might want to check on older
content your edition list should be design so that when more editions are
available that your have edition links that you put forward and at least
one previous edition so the users can backtrack the editions of your
freesite.

ie: site using 5 edition links (the numbers in [] would be your edition
activelinks)

first edition:
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

second edition:
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

third edition:
[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

fourth edition:
[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

fifth edition:
[3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

sixth edition:
[4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

The edition list 'scrolls' as you have more editions than links the user
can still follow the backlinks to get to previous editions.

Or you can keep a permanent edition list with at least one forward edition
link).  You'd probably do it with buckets.  This following setup would let
you do four editions before having having to add another row for the next
five editions:

while publishing edition 1-4:
[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5]

while publisihing edition 5-9:

Each node has different routing tables so I'd like to be able to use the
nodes together to increase the available search path within a couple hops
or so.

Any way to do this so that the connections stay permanent?
Im trying to have the nodes work like this

I'm hoping this configration will help connectivity a bit and reduce the

 After reading your emails for the last 2 days I have no clue what you're
 trying to do.  You were first using stable, then unstable.  Then a friend's
 node, then nodes on 2 different networks (i can only assume stable 
 unstable).

 So what is it again you're trying to do?  (I dont' understand the A's routes
 vs. B's routes argument either).

get the two nodes to interoperate with each other.  I would suspect this
could be done by adding each node's ref to the other node's seedfile

  I am having trouble trying to interconnect friends' freenodes.  The give
  me their node's reference but I keep getting complaints that the ref does
  not contain an estimator fieldset.  Is there a way to generate complete
  files that have all the required information?

node a has one set of routes, b another set
nodeA and nodeB run on separate networks
but the goal is to have A and B permanently connect to each other so the A
can take advnatage of B's nodes and A's nodes can take advantage of B's.

Why is this so diifuclt to understand, what am I not explainging right?

Re: [freenet-support] How do I add node refs to my node's routing table?

2004-03-14 Thread Christopher Brian Jack
 Yes, provided they are compatible builds.  There are two freenet's
 maintained by the freenetproject; stable and unstable.  They are seperate
 networks that do not communicate with each other.

Btoh nodes are running NV 0.5, PV STABLE-1.50, BN 5074, CVS
1.90.2.50.2.101

 When you say Each node has different routing tables so I'd like to be able
 to use the nodes together to increase the available search path within a
 couple hops or so, are you saying these two nodes are on different tcp/ip
 networks, or one node is from stable and another from unstable?

different TCP/IP networks

give me their node's reference but I keep getting complaints that the
ref does not contain an estimator fieldset.  Is there a way to
generate complete files that have all the required information?

} a.b.c.dA.B.C.D {

}{

nodeA and nodeB are two different freenet nodes operating at separate IP
numbers nodeA has a set of routes, a's routes and nodeB has a set of
routes b's routes.  I would like nodeA and nodeB to have a persitent
connection between each other in order to be able to use each other's
routes.

I'm getting way too many RNF/DNFs so any way to expand the available
routing would be a welcome thing either node. about 60% of the time it
doesn't even get off the originating node.  I've tried putting each
other's node's ref into the seedfile but the nodes don't seem to want to
use them.  As I said earlier the windows version just complains that there
are no estimator fieldsets for the noderef and won't import it.

On the freebsd node (at the other IP number) the only way I've gotten it
to use the other node is by making it the only entiry in the seedfile.
This had the disadvantage that not only was is restricted to whereever the
windows node could get to its available freenet routes, but to my
shock, it wasn't learning about visitors as many freenet docs have
suggested the node should be able to.  Nodes would connect and it even
made outbound connections but it's list of available routes under the node
status subsection still reported only one host in the routing table.

I've ruled out firewall issues on both sides becuase both sides can
negotiate outbound connections and receive inbound connections.  I've also
double check in the environment and the node are reporting the correct
WAN-side router IP numbers and access ports.

[freenet-support] Finding out about if freenet node is learning

2004-03-13 Thread Christopher Brian Jack

I wonder if you could add one more binomial graph to the node status:
number of nodes discovered - nodes already known

This would be useful for determining if the freenet node is learning about
the freenetwork topography.

Or is there already a way to determine if a node is learning about new
ones?

I have two freenodes running on separate networks (some stuff works, and
other stuff doesn't on one, and vice versa for the other)

How can I manually reference the nodes to each other?  (Hopefully this
will allow the freenodes to share their routes and allows both nodes to
see all the content available to each node separately).

Re: [freenet-support] Usability improvement ideas

2004-03-12 Thread Christopher Brian Jack


  There _has_ to be a question when installing asking the
  user if he/she pays for bandwidth (esp outgoing) and set the configuration in
  Freenet accordingly - bad press resulting from Joe Doe installing Freenet and
  getting $1000 bills (think NZ, OZ) isn't good.

 Hmm. Good idea. However, I'm not sure that you CAN run a freenet ndoe
 with any reasonable performance if it's limited to 3GB/mo as is common
 in oz. Technically, the solution is the average bandwidth limiter.
 However this is not known to work well (it is pretty much untested since
 NIO), mostly because no developers have that sort of connection. Perhaps
 we should put some effort in, but I'm not sure that it's proportionate
 as users with such connections won't get much out of or contribute much
 to Freenet. Yes, it might be useful for the occasional content author,
 so it IS worth thinking about; it's just that they'll be put off by the
 dire performance implied.

But I'm not a developer and I do need to keep a leash on the bandwidth my
node produces.  I've set it to 24576 in/24576 out  so hopefully overall I
won't be leaching more than 48KiB/sec.  I share a network with a friend
who pays the bill (has a 50G/month limit) and I'd like to have a present,
but, limited network bandwidth profile.  He was really leary of letting me
run a freenet node and he's all but banned kazaa and other related progs
from being used by his roommates.

  Better portals. People _don't_ want links to child pornography (no, I don't want
  a discussion, flamefest etc, I'm talking the general public who want to USE
  Freenet) to be the first thing they see. Instead the top portal should contain
  links like the Diebold one, the Scientology Bible etc. Advertise the fact that
  Freedom of Speach is the central issue.

This doesn't sound like such a bad idea.  I'm sure persons delivering the
really disgusting content have other channels for disseminator their keys.
But I think freenet itself handles this problem.  The very fact I'm
getting DNF's is testment to the fact the freenet is very efficient (maybe
a little too so) at weeding out stuff not accessed much like child
pornagraphy with more active datastore things like stuff being censored by
the DMCA and stuff (becuase that's a very hot topic right now).

Freenet pretty much handles the child pornography on its own due to the
way infrequently used data is preempted for newer data; and likely to
require a lot of work of its maintainer (frequent inserts becuase it will
degrade in the network rapidly becuase IMHO not a lot of people wish too
see that material so they never request it - even more so because these
are images and possibly even likely to be splitfiles - makes the
maintenance to make the material accessible without the infamous DNF a lot
of work for the maintainer of such sites).

On the other hand the file degradation feature tends to be bad for trendy
things.  Where the first month a resource is placed into the network (oh
an example I like, such as an anime fansub) and then it idles and erodes
away.  It frustrates the heck out of me becuase the freesite that links to
one video I'd like to see is *still* there but the 700M video DNFs all
over the place (it's a splitfile) while trying to fetch it.

 Somebody want to maintain a freesite that links to controversial
 material but doesn't link to illegal material? A lot of it is a matter
 of judgement and personal ethics - Thought Crime links to Mein Kampf and
 an article on bestiality as well as a lot of overtly political stuff.
 Anyway, YoYo's Controversy section is a good start.

My thought on the home freesite links is that a good starter freesite
should appeal to the majority of people and have the darker side of the
freenet not bluntly proclaimed on the first page the freenet user sees.
Splitting adult content away from general content/freenet/freedom links
(ie having a single link to a separate freesite index for adult material
may be a start in the right direction).  This will at least make the first
contact palatable for *anyone* entering the home freesite.

Something that might also be good is have some duplication of material
that isn't controversial, illegal, or typically censored (ie: kid-safe
freesites, educational sites and the lot).  So that the freenet looks more
like the internet.  This will encourage more people to use freenodes to
access content.  Hitting heavy on the no popups or banner ads slogan
needs to be flogged way more than it's mere mention in the documentation
now.  I think a good one is run a banner on normal internet sites: run
your own website!  no size limit, no space limit!  think this is a lie
[click here] (links to freenet.sf.net).  Another idea might be to
encourage people to mirror their sites onto freenet if they are on
gee-oh-sh*tties or yoohoo/homestead with their grossly commercialized
page extras forced onto their clients' websites and add a link [to view
this site without ads click here].  Which should link to a

 I'd guess it was a problem with the OS, or the JVM. You can however work
 around it by setting ipAddress=my ip address and ipDetectorInterval=0
 in the config file (remove any preceding %'s or #'s first), and of
 course restarting the node.

The automatic config update checker won't catch this change?
