The recent news of the Telegram leader's imprisonment in France highlights the challenges in trusting centralized entities to offer free and secure communication channels. This guide aims to guide a transition towards decentralization, where individuals take charge of their security by operating decentralized nodes and retaining keys to their private communications. This is a technical guide describing the setup of DarkIRC, the Internet Relay Chat application of the DarkFI project. It is special because it grants us a very high degree of anonymity: it does not rely on the security of a central server. DarkIRC is the strongest anonymous chat in existence. Nothing else exists like it. However, it may be misused leaking information, or made too difficult to operate. This guide suggests usable and secure ways to set up DarkIRC. 🥀 This guide makes it easy to use DarkIRC, but it compromises some security aspects: each compromise will be marked as a 🥀 wilting flower. Your experience may vary, depending on your threat model. Be ready for the command line As with anything in secure computing, some legwork must be done. If you aren't scared of installing GNU/Linux, opening a terminal, and using it to compile and configure some software, then you'll find this guide easy. If you lack basic knowledge of a UNIX "shell" terminal then I recommend studying this introduction to the command line and other similar sources found online: it is certainly a good investment of your time! 🌐 Set up your VPS 🥀 You can skip this section if you are simply trying DarkIRC on your physical computer, but beware that when you switch it off you will lose messages including those sent to you. Plus anyone in its possession could access your secret keys, DarkIRC identity, and private messages if logged. For our setup, we use a Virtual Private Server (VPS) that is always online and is rather easy to set up and experiment with. We will make it as secure as possible and presume it is not used by anyone else but you. Try to do it yourself and not rely on help from others. Typically, a VPS will cost $5 on most third-party providers and should come pre-installed with the Debian GNU/Linux operating system (OS). Among the most popular and affordable providers are AWS EC2, Hetzner, OVH, DigitalOcean and Linode. 🥀 Choose carefully your poison here, because, if asked, these third-party providers will give cops in Europe or the USA full access to all your information. To stay anonymous look for a VPS on Monero Market and never share any private information with them. Some VPS providers will offer you a range of options about the size of the machine (CPU, RAM, storage...) and the OS to install on it. Just chose the smallest size, which will be enough for DarkIRC, and chose to have Debian installed on it. 🥀 Debian is not a rock-solid OS because it runs systemd which is a buggy piece of 💩crap. To increase the security of the OS you should migrate it immediately to Devuan, which is rather easy. Use SSH to log in as root into the machine (or Putty if you still use Windows) and install an easy terminal setup with completion. Optional: pimp your terminal with Jaromil's dotfiles If you like to use my dotfiles, just do: apt install curl make direnv curl -L jaromil.dyne.org/dotfiles.sh | sh - cd ~/.dotfiles && make If you are using my dotfiles then also install some handy tools and proper UTF-8 support with two simple commands. cd ~/.dotfiles && ./install/apt cd ~/.dotfiles && ./install/locale If you want to do it by yourself, then again pick your poison, knowing my dotfile sources are here and you can take them as a reference for your own. Once this is done, log out and log in again to activate the shell power-up. When you are logged in as root, install some base packages on the VPS: DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \ apt-get install -y -q --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests \ daemontools vim-nox nano git sudo software-properties-common \ apt-transport-https libsqlcipher-dev iproute2 psmisc net-tools locales \ bash-completion bsdextrautils curl wget Type this into the terminal to install a minimal set of tools needed. 🔐 Secure access to the VPS Secure Shell (SSH) is the protocol used to securely connect to a VPS from a remote terminal. The OpenSSH software implements it and conceals all traffic to the VPS, but it is never a good idea to use a root password as authentication, because it can (and will) be cracked. 🥀 At the very least you should immediately apt install sshguard to protect the VPS from brute force attacks against SSH. I recommend you find out how to create an SSH private/public key pair on your machine using OpenSSH or Putty, then copy the public key and paste it into the VPS: cat << EOF > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [paste your public key here with CTRL-V] EOF Make sure you paste your public key, not the private one! Also, make sure that the OpenSSH daemon on the VPS is configured properly. To do that you have to change its configuration file: cat << EOF > /etc/ssh/sshd_config Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf PermitRootLogin prohibit-password PubkeyAuthentication yes PasswordAuthentication no KbdInteractiveAuthentication no UsePAM no X11Forwarding no PrintMotd no AcceptEnv LANG LC_* EOF Reconfigure OpenSSH for better security and no password login 👹 Create a separate user for DarkIRC It is never a good idea to run anything as root on your VPS, so we will create a "darkirc" virtual user which will be the one running our setup. To do so type: adduser darkirc Then give it a password easy to type (no need for a strong one here, since we protect access with SSH) and keep bashing enter on any other question. 💥Done. User creation looks a bit like this. Don't break your keyboard when bashing enter! Now you can do su - darkirc and provide your password to work as that user. 🏗️ Build DarkIRC from the source code Our friends at DarkFI do not want you to trust anyone to build software for you, so you'll have to build it by yourself. Fortunately, it is not so hard, but be prepared to wait a bit before it is done and be ready to grab a cup of tea 🍵 or a beer 🍺. All the build instructions here should be executed as darkirc user. First, install Rust and Cargo using "rustup" and not from Debian packages. curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf > rustup.sh sh rustup.sh -y --no-modify-path Install the Rust toolchain for the current user. After installing the Rust toolchain, you need to log out and log in again. At last download the DarkFI source code which also contains DarkIRC and build: cd /usr/src && git clone https://codeberg.org/darkrenaissance/darkfi cd darkfi make darkirc Get ready to wait now! you'll see a colorful log on your screen. After waiting for quite a while, you should see something like this: Congratulations! 🍾 You have successfully built DarkIRC on your server and you are now at this point of the DarkFI book. The entrance is near! 🎭 Enter DarkIRC To finally connect to the DarkIRC network we will use Tmux and WeeChat. Tmux is used to keep your session persistent so that when you are away and disconnect SSH, DarkIRC will keep running on your VPS and collect message logs for you to read later. WeeChat is the Internet Relay Client (IRC) whose User Experience (UX) is based on a Text-based User Interface (TUI). Any interaction with a TUI is mediated by the keyboard, your mouse won't be useful except for cut & paste of links and text. In the future, I will explain how to connect a Graphical User Interface (GUI) based IRC client, but mastering the TUI approach will afford you greater control over your setup. You can now SSH into your server, switch users with su - darkirc and password, and start launching the tmux command. Your terminal will change a bit and you'll still have a prompt. Now launch DarkIRC: ./darkfi/darkirc You will see information about it booting, connecting to the peer-to-peer network, and accepting connections. Look for the success message: [EVENTGRAPH] DAG synced successfully! This message in logs means SUCCESS! 🎉 At this point open a new window inside tmux by pressing simultaneously Ctrl-b and then the key c : this is a combo telling Tmux to keep running DarkIRC in the current window and open a new one to run more applications. Finally, launch weechat and you will see it taking over this window with its interface. Now we need to tell WeeChat to connect to DarkIRC. /server add darkfi localhost/6667 -notls -autoconnect Then choose the nickname you want to be known on DarkIRC. 🥀 Beware your nickname is the only information you share about yourself when you write to other people. Don't use your name or other known nicknames if you want to stay anonymous on DarkIRC. The WeeChat command to set your DarkIRC nicknames is: /set irc.server.darkirc.nicks "nickname,nick_alternative,in_case_first_is_taken" Multiple comma-separated nicknames are supported in case one is already used by others You are all set now, ready to connect. Just do /save and then /quit, then restart weechat in the same Tmux window. The main window of WeeChat should now look like this at the start On the left pane, you have a list of public channels you have automatically joined and through which you can move by pressing ESC then their number, or Ctrl-n (next) and Ctrl-p (previous). 🥀 Be cautious: the default DarkIRC channels are public, meaning anything you post can be read, archived, and republished by anyone. Avoid sharing any private information or anything that could reveal your identity behind the chosen nickname. At this point you can disconnect SSH at any time: just close the window, do not issue the /quit command to WeeChat. Your VPS will keep running and archiving DarkIRC messages, and it will also highlight channels where your nickname has been mentioned. To reconnect you need to follow 3 simple steps: Log in via SSH Execute su - darkirc and type your easy password Attach your Tmux running session with tmux a You will find DarkIRC set up in the same running state where you left it, plus all the messages that have been sent to the channels, which you can scroll through using PgUp and PgDn. 🤌🏽 Question & Answers If you arrive up until here, congratulations! 🎉 you are welcome to say hello in the #random public channel and share any feedback about this guide, things to be improved, or questions you have.

In this article, I'll analyze the speed of execution, size, and entropy of zero-knowledge proofs for the BBS+ Signature Scheme, as described by the v6 draft submitted to the Internet Research Task Force. The BBS Signature Scheme This document describes the BBS Signature scheme, a secure, multi- message digital signature protocol, supporting proving knowledge of a signature while selectively disclosing any subset of the signed messages. Concretely, the scheme allows for signing multiple messages whilst producing a single, constant size, digital signature. Additionally, the possessor of a BBS signatures is able to create zero-knowledge, proofs-of-knowledge of a signature, while selectively disclosing subsets of the signed messages. Being zero-knowledge, the BBS proofs do not reveal any information about the undisclosed messages or the signature it self, while at the same time, guarantying the authenticity and integrity of the disclosed messages. IETF DatatrackerTobias Looker This benchmark is based on the Zenroom open-source implementation of BBS+ which is written in C and is verified to correctly match vectors found in appendix J.9.1 of the BBS+ draft. The source code written to perform these benchmarks is found in the test/benchmark/bbs folder shipped inside the Zenroom source code. Zenroom - No-code Cryptographic virtual machine Multiplatform cryptography for DB and blockchain, zk-SNARKS, blockchain interop, smart contracts in human language, fully isolated virtual machine No-code Cryptographic virtual machine 🔖 This article is difficult to understand not knowing basics of cryptography: it requires knowledge of public-key cryptography and zero-knowledge proof. Speed ⚙️ The measurements presented are operated using a 6th generation Intel CPU running tests on a single i7 3.40GHz core and making no use of hardware acceleration. The Zenroom binary is built with release optimizations (O3 flags) using the clang compiler from its v4.36.1 source release. Compared to other zero-knowledge proof algorithms available in Zenroom, BBS+ clearly shows to be the fastest implementation, in some cases even by one order of magnitude. Keypair generation (public key computation from random material) takes between 0.0025 and 0.003 seconds, in other words, that is between two and a half and three milliseconds. BBS+ key generation benchmark When operated on a growing number of keypairs, the growth is linear and there is no substantial difference between the SHA256 and SHAKE256 implementations. In all following speed tests, I noted the performance of these two implementations stays the same, so I'll limit benchmarks to use SHAKE256 for simplicity. Issuance takes between 0.006 and 0.0075 seconds to have a single credential signed, in other words between six and seven and a half milliseconds. Clear-text verification takes slightly less. BBS+ issuance benchmark up to a thousand credentials 💡 One second to issue a thousand credentials (approx.) Presentation of zero-knowledge proofs takes between 0.0084 and 0.0095 seconds to disclose a single proof, which is almost one centisecond. BBS+ presentation and verification benchmark on a thousand credentials Verification of zero-knowledge proofs takes approximately 0.019 seconds, which is almost 2 centiseconds to verify a single proof. However. when performed on a growing number of credentials, it becomes evident that BBS+ verification is faster than the presentation. The graph's bottom starts from fifty credentials and shows linear growth. 💡 Less than one second for a thousand credential presentations. Almost a second and a half for a thousand credential verifications. It is worth mentioning that BBS+ is one order of magnitude faster than Boneh-Lynn-Shacham (BLS) signatures operated on the same BLS12-381 curve and under the same conditions (Zenroom implementation and benchmark hardware), showing BBS+ is really well optimized. We compared these two signatures in the benchmarks section of our recent SD-BLS paper, available online and in an upcoming IEEE journal. Figures comparing SD-BLS and BBS+ in our paper Size Using BBS+ seems to be also good for saving on size: both the issuer public keys and the presentation proofs seem to be generally smaller than other competitors. I measure that: Public keys are 96 bytes long Issued signatures are 80 bytes long Zero-knowledge proofs are 272 bytes long Based on this information, you can calculate the additional storage requirements BBS+ will introduce to your database or decentralized ID storage. For instance to have a hundred issuers listed in your DID domain will add less than 10Kb space, which makes it easy to maintain a static list of issuance authorities inside any application. On the other hand, a typical mobile wallet application will hold a hundred credentials in less than 10Kb and will be able to use a QR code to present proof, considering its core material and some metadata will require approximately 300 bytes, leaving space for a lot more, including a small picture. 💡 Even NFC tags will be able to store an issuer's public key or a zero-knowledge proof since their capacity varies between 96 and 512 bytes. Privacy This measurement provides insights into the privacy level of BBS+ zero-knowledge proofs. However, it represents a type of laboratory measurement that does not cover all possible configurations. It is of interest primarily because it allows us to view BBS+ through the perspective of an eavesdropper intercepting data and searching for identifiable fingerprints. The test performed consists of measuring the Hamming distance between different presented proofs of the same credential. I do this many times, and show the frequencies of repetition of distances. Then I do the same with random values to obtain a graph that compares what are the most frequent distances between random values and between BBS+ proofs. Since random can differ depending on the PRNG implementation and also on the seed, I add three types of random feeds: PRNG is the default pseudo-random generator in Zenroom, using as seed a sequence of 64 bytes provided by the operating system and hashed with the timestamp at the time of execution. RORG is again the PRNG in Zenroom, but initialized with a seed that is retrieved online from Random.org at the time of execution. OSSL is made of random values provided by the OpenSSL library installed. In this first run, I'm using only ten samples from each source, comparing the frequency of hamming distance between adjacent samples on each stream. Now with a hundred samples: And up to a thousand samples: Entropy measurement of BBS+ proofs What we get after this analysis are overlapping graphs of the most frequent values. The frequency is centered around 1080 bits which is pretty normal for the 272-byte long sequences we are analyzing, comparing a total of 2176 bits each time. It even looks like BBS+ zk proofs yield slightly higher hamming distance values, which is a good sign. Also adopting the classic Shannon measurement for entropy (a built-in octet method in Zenroom), we obtain values between 0.97 and 0.98 which are the same for generated cryptographic random data. Comparison of Shannon entropy rate between BBS+ and other random streams More precisely measuring the "entropy" of 500 proofs with a floating value between zero and one I could observe that: The BBS+ ZK proof average is 0.974081 Zenroom's PRNG average is 0.9742654 Zenroom's PRNG with a Random.org seed averages to 0.9738644 OpenSSL's random averages to 0.9738644 💡 The encoding of a BBS+ proof appears as random data. You are welcome to repeat this benchmark on your systems: I've done my best to make the hamming.sh script portable, it will require Zenroom and Gnuplot installed, along with source files common.lua and hamming.lua in the same folder. Conclusion The buzz around BBS+ seems to be based on true assumptions: it is a privacy-preserving algorithm that has a competitive edge in terms of speed and size when compared to other zero-knowledge-proof implementations. The data integrity assessment on BBS interoperability is in the works and shows how multiple implementations can talk to each other. And more generally more standardization efforts are going towards its way. Data Integrity BBS Cryptosuites v1.0 This specification describes a Data Integrity Cryptosuite for use when generating digital signatures using the BBS signature scheme. The Signature Suite utilizes BBS signatures to provide selective disclosure and unlinkable derived proofs. W3CGreg Bernstein What may be holding some institutions back from BBS+ adoption is their faith in Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) provided by clans of hardware and operating systems manufacturers. Integrated hardware TEEs are too outdated to support the sort of EC pairing mathematic operations needed by BBS+, ruling it out. I don't hide my skepticism about TEE maxis here, because they ignore many security attacks in the wild and because their trust architecture is a weak pyramid lacking any resilience. As it's made evident by the failing process of the EUDI ARF, the price to pay for TEE fanaticism may be as high as the privacy of European citizens. ✅ My advice is to work towards adopting BBS+ to pave the way to selective disclosure of credentials powered by this zero-knowledge-proof algorithm. ⚠️ Regarding the BBS# algorithm marketed as TEE compatible, I caution that it may not be a legitimate contender. The associated "paper" lacks endorsement by any recognized scientist or individual. Should it prove authentic, it suggests undisclosed activities, potentially leading to a patent emerging later as a "surprise".

Today the Washington post runs a live-update feed and titles as breaking some ICT news on a bug — not a cyber-attack! — that affects way too many people dealing with a desktop computer today at work: “Several major U.S. airlines — including American Airlines, United and Delta — grounded flights early Friday due to a technical issue impacting IT systems, as mass outages disrupted airports, banks, broadcasters and businesses around the world. Microsoft said it was aware of an issue impacting Windows programs running cybersecurity technology from CrowdStrike.” Live updates — The Washington Post Now, while things are getting fixed up there, in the cloud, I have a suggestion for all of us who have ever worked on large scale and mission-critical systems. Let’s all take a deep breath and get prepared to pose this question to our colleagues: Is the cybersecurity industry really aware of its weaknesses, or are they fooling us with marketing and off-shelf products, keeping the door closed to 20 years of innovation on E2EE, decentralization and resilience? Or, in other words: are organizations really spending money on securing their services, or that dosh ends up into a huge corporate black hole of hidden misconducts, ready to shoot us into reality at every glitch? are we going to plug back and keep dreaming? We’re in 2024 and “enterprise-grade” systems are cloud central nightmare, no lesson was ever learned about resilience and decentralization. An auto-update mechanism of some “intrusion detection and response” security closed-source software blocked Windows operator terminals worldwide, causing major outage on way too many computers people use at work. Meanwhile huge spending is directed towards the cyber-security industry and most of it doesn’t adopts any scientific method to verify what is being put in place and how. Let alone the fact we are calling “secure” some software that is closed source, and is lacking quite some “due diligence” in ICT terms, lacking proper testing on its continuous integration pipeline that is automatically broadcasting live-updates worldwide, which is exactly what is causing this pain. Solutions to this mess cannot be patches. We need systemic change in the cybersecurity industry. Including solutions as the adoption of open-source software everywhere, while raising the bar of its quality assurance and transparency of operations, as recommended by the European Cyber Resilience Act: We need resilience! Open Source at the core of Europe: the Cyber Resilience Act This week’s news is that The European Parliament has approved the European Cyber Resilience Act, and I believe it to be good news for us free and open-source developers. News From DyneNews From Dyne The heart of this issue is the delegation of responsibility for risk and change management of critical infrastructure systems. The centralized and automated management of an individual organisation in charge of operational reliability is directly responsible for deploying a component without a risk assessment process and change management control point. The incident yet again reminds us of the famous IBM manual statement. ICT presentation slide, supposedly from some IBM congress, 1979 Let me conclude stating all my solidarity to the technical operators who are involved — boots on ground — to prevent huge disasters this may be causing in numerous hospitals, airports, city-halls, etc. I really whish that whoever is taking the ICT supply-chain decisions in your organization manages to realize what this worldwide BSOD sensation in 2024 really means.

Behold fellow dyne! Solstice is upon us! Dynes across the northern galaxy rejoice as darkness returns with a license to geek granted by the murky seasons. Ok, to be fair, light is nice. It's a balance. Complementary. Enjoy the crescendo, southern galaxy! 🕶️ Nice weather, sibling! Radiant blue sky, a fresh breeze. Beautiful bodies moving in the street, smiling. A dream for many dynes in the northern hemisphere, living in places with droughts, floods and landslides. But the hopes shine ever radiant in the heart of the planet; action is taking place. Some dynes are even conspiring to set a better pace to the climate transition. It's over due, but not too late. In this episode, PACESETTERS held a first information day for dynes from the entire galaxy to attend. PACESETTERS acknowledge that Art saves and Culture feeds! Creatives from all casts, working to better the conditions of the near future, succeeding or failing, are invited to take a survey. This with the goal to gather data on what strategies work. Or not. For everyone to take, share and improve. Is this you, fellow dyne?

Songs about the growing influence of ©orporations over the delicate fabric of democracy. It is observable on planet Earth as a whole. All the bases are belong to them now, and almost everyone tossed the ToS in the loo. One dyne creates a textual punch to all of that and gets published by Friends Of Europe. Planet dyne is a friend of planet Earth. Unconditionally. But it's hard to see where the relationship with planet ©orporation is going. It seems rather toxic in it's one-way dynamic. Seeing how much influence lobbyists have on parliamentary politics. After all, lobbies aren't restricted by borders as Nation states' legislation is. But only people can save the universe! That includes you, fellow dyne! Do the right thing and please share this article to your extended network if it resonates with you. A must read either way.

Dynes like you can build space rockets, repair computers, clean up rivers, cook delicious food and create beautiful art. Action is always radical, regardless of the scale. And what ever you do, make sure you look after the weaker peers. They're not slowing us down, they're teaching us perspectives. 🧧 Now a word from our sponsor Alt-text: "why flat earthers are affected by 5G and normal people aren't".

In it they present about SoundFumble, a tool for live sound generation with GNUimp. Drone aficionados beware: you will have a hard time keeping away from the dancefloor! The video has overtones of nostalgia. Do you remember the time when dynes would go to a meetup with a running nose? Say whatever about the pandemic, but it did make us wash our hands again and care about each other. No offense, Amir. The dyne writing this wasn't any better 💜 just contemplating the progress.

The galaxy is crazy. Then again, so is a dyne. A little bit anyways. Sometimes perceived as contrarian, but always constructive in the ambition. In the shadows of the galactic madness, this episode of Planet Dyne explores sources of hope, conspires to obtain the right to repair our devices, fights for the privacy of all, mock the corporate overlords and while it joins hand in community, it definitely doesn't sing "kumbaya". Buckle up, it's been an eventful couple of weeks. ✊ Tools for Resistance Workshop #3 Hope is scarce goods in these gloomy times. Baltan laboratories are changing that by developing a culture of hope and attempting to unpack, redefine and ultimately foster a healthier relationship with the technologies surrounding us. In that context, they've invited dynebolic to throw a party hold a workshop on the 13th of June in Eindhoven. 0:00 0:10 1× On 13th of June 2024, dynes are invited to bring an (old) Windows laptop, USB stick (2GB or more), an ethernet cable (optional) to get a test of digital creative freedom! More information and link to RSVP bellow: Open-source Alternatives for Multimedia Production | Workshop by Denis “Jaromil” Roio Tools for Resistance Workshop #3 Baltan Laboratories 🛠️ The power to repair Kind of like it is with being happy, being able to fix something in the era of high-tech and nanotechnology is a revolutionary act! Dynes everywhere are worried that the rest of the universe don’t even have the power to turn some of their devices off anymore. The ignition button is eluding; extracting the batteries requires tools, craftsmanship and experience. In this pervasive digital dimension, the power to repair needs to be an inalienable right: every dyne in the galaxy should be able to observe, study, modify and distribute modifications. It is key to a sustainable life-cycle of devices. "Europe, let's reuse, refurbish, repair" - https://repair.eu By repairing tech, entropy turns into a resource, circulating the economy. Planet Consumerists' thirst for new high-tech gadgets is leading the solar-system to depletion of mineral resources, to slavery and wars. In such paradigm, repair-shops that recycle, restore and resell become like shrines, granting us the power over the machines. Let's support the dynes behind these shrines and the philosophy of free and open source software. On June 16th at 4 pm CEST, Iper Festival takes you on a date with ethical hacker: Denis "Jaromil" Roio, to explore means of taking back the power to repair. Iper – Festival delle periferie – 2024 - HIC SUNT LEONES. Dove abita l’immaginazione Iperfestival Roma ⏳ A new era Okay Goggole, what are you going to do when there's no more Internet to learn from? As a smol language model, the dyne manually typing out this post has no answer to that question. However, a multi-gazillion dollares webshit, that made its name by providing high quality indexes mixed with ads on dynes' queries, has decided that the very same Internet that taught the AI everything it knows is now secondary. Instead, by default it will let a parrot respond to the queries with trivia. This has some pretty deep ramifications. If there's no incentive to write cool stuff on the Interwebz, where is the robot going to get new stuff to learn from? One plausible theory is it will get it from the DMs you send to your loved ones. At the time of writing this, AI is being shipped in toasters and diapers world wide. There seems to be no end to the frenzy. The parrot is getting good though, that's for sure. But at what cost? Google Search adds a “web” filter, because it is no longer focused on web results Google Search now has an option to search the “web,” which is not the default anymore. Ars TechnicaRon Amadeo 🔻 Web3privacy Summit Remember last year in Rome when a dyne rocked the stage at the Web3privacy summit? Well it happened again! This time in the mythical venue of Paralelní Polis. It was a proper blast! Some dynes that witnessed it felt a little overwhelmed, being thrown back in the delicious times of punk and squats. A dyne like you addressing an audience at Paralelní Polis. Behind them a slide on the screen showing the infamous ASCII Internet café. No dyne craves dressing in suits and be presented by academic titles. In fact, to a dyne their names are not that important. They're just dynes like you. Two dynes like you on the stage holding mics looking happy. Behind them a slide on a screen showing the zenroom.org logo There is no prognosis on when the video of the talk will be released, but for the nostalgic, here's the one from last year: 🦾 Inclusive Avec A small dyne brings attention to some work of an Olivia King. She has designed a king typeface made for accessibility and legibility for all readers. There are many attempts at easing reading for dyslexics out there, and while they are functional, their looks aren't that terrible. This one here combines the best of both worlds and is entirely open source. Typography dynes rejoices and it echoes across the channels. Inclusive Sans — Olivia King A text typeface designed for accessibility and legibility for all readers. Olivia King0 💱 And now, a word from our sponsor 0:00 3:24 1× 💣 Forkbomb in the parliament In this episode, the Italian speaking dynes were blessed with a special video. One dyne made it into a parliament with a forkbomb. Of course, this bomb was friendly, albeit sharp. forkbomb (don't paste this in your terminal) The inhabitants of planet DeCifris invited the dyne to talk about the importance of sovereignty when it comes to security. The need to be able to hold firmly in hand tools that can be controlled and improved by the dynes wielding it. A must see! Link to YouTube video 🪴 Permacomputing There are many terms to describe sustainable computing. A fairly recent one is "Permacomputing". It's an idea that is mostly proposed by adorable dynes with beautiful beards and a certain nostalgic je-ne-sais-quoi in their eyes. While it might seem like plain nostalgia at first, because of the omnipresence of old tech, this movement is about preserving the environment by optimizing existing tech instead of producing new, resource craving stuff. Because there are huge environmental and societal issues in today's computing, permacomputing specifically wants to challenge them in the same way as permaculture has challenged industrial agriculture. With that said, permacomputing is an anti-capitalist political project. It is driven by several strands of anarchism, decolonialism, intersectional feminism, post-marxism, degrowth and ecologism. You can imagine the surprise that ensued in the channels when a dyne showed up with a link from Le Monde talking about it. « Permacomputing » : la discrète communauté qui défend des outils numériques libres, sobres et décroissants Et si le numérique était un espace de choix pour expérimenter autour de la notion de limites ? Chercheurs, chercheuses et activistes du monde de l’art, du design et du jeu vidéo tentent de réensauvager Internet grâce aux principes de la permaculture.

For dynes residing in the northern hemisphere, it is easy to forget that, when spring unfolds, the south finds itself in autumn. But seasons have no effect on the warmth of a dyne's heart. Roses come in many colors, ultraviolet this rave. Olive-oil is getting expensive & WiFi is microwave. Welcome to the greenhouse, fellow dyne! 📖 New book is out And it's on five-finger discount!

Well, dynes love meeting with other specimens, and if it's in a nerdy set-up it's all bonus! The city of Bologna in Italy, is not at all famous for it's pasta sauce, but totally renown for it's academic history, it's bike-friendly peaceful traffic, bellissimi creatures and incredible camaraderie. It hosts one of the most human tech-conference ever; Reclaim The Tech. This year it is taking place from 17th to 19th May. Graffiti mural from the venue of Reclaim The Tech (TPO - https://municipiozero.it/) showing a pair of giant boots and hands stepping on a city like a Godzilla, only to plant a sprout in a hole that the giant just dug upp. This is a community organized event that unites fire-souls from the entire universe, to converse, plot and conspire around tools, techniques and narratives to put the control of tech back in the hands of the People. While it is a good idea to learn Italian before you go, it is not a requirement. The species attending have a generous relationship to knowledge and information. And there is no length that will be avoided to get the camaraderie through. Also, if there is one planet you can navigate socially with hand gestures, Italy is the one! 🤌 Festival 2024 - Programma Officina di saperi e pratiche per la giustizia digitale, sociale, di genere e climatica. Reclaim The Tech Reclaim The Tech is a community on the move, fighting for digital justice. In a world marked by conflicts and transformations, we seek a space for hybridization and reappropriation of technologies, open to alliances with the fight for social-, gender- and climate-justice. In 2023 Reclaim The Tech was a bet, today it is a collective reality based on the participation and sharing of ideas, projects and alternative technologies. Here is the program of the second edition of Reclaim The Tech Festival, from 17 to 19 May 2024 in Bologna. 📨 A telegram from Mrs. Dyne Telegram.

Your kids love it, and your granps too! If there's anything this webshit can't do, you WILL find a bot for it. Some dynes from a nearby galaxy where people wear grey hats have hacked together an interesting piece of software and given it a poetic name: CCTV - Close-Circuit Telegram Vision. With this tool, you can monitor others' real-time location for, erhm, say... logistics or safety! While no one on planet Dyne would encourage anyone to surveil their peers, this piece of software highlights the precarity of attitudes towards fun and dandy webshits.

Kill less 🥇 Narrative video championship Some videos should age like milk, not for being bad or predictable, but because they cover outraging topics in detail and everyone should be mad and triggered into changing all of that. But generally, not much happens so the milk stays fresh. However, fellow dyne, our struggle is not a matter of hours, days, months or years. It's the story of our lifetime. And sometimes, a good narrative can help a dyne better frame ideas in order to more effectively disseminate them. Here's an excellent one by exurb1a.

Inside the dyne's mailbox a little seed. Planted and watered, it might just grow another edition of Planet Dyne. Scrolling an infinite, attention-grabbing, omnipresent feed of information from the tip of the finger, it can feel as if the world is dissonant. Well, good dyne, it is. But what is dissonant to one dyne, can be beautiful harmony to another. The celestial bodies don't care about scales, nor do they bother with whatever color smol beings project upon them. And while the corporate webshit machines are hard working at amplifying the undertones of our differences, dynes from everywhere are here to remind you that we are the world, fellow dyne! 💫 Future is Rural If you are new to this newsletter: Welcome, fellow dyne! If you've been around a minute, you probably read about PACESETTERS in the previous episode. One of PACESETTERS' real-world laboratories is the city of Genalguacil.

Resilient and determined to push-back against depopulation, from the 14th to the 21st of April 2024, Genalguacil hosts the only rural satellite event of the NEB events in Spain. This satellite is a site of co-production combining film-making, with food-making - as ways to renew our connections with heritage, nature - through arts, and culture. It aims at challenging people’s stereotypes of what being rural really means, and reframing innovation from where it is the least expected… The future is rural! LAB Genalguacil.

Dynes can love each other, but dynes can also love robots and webshits. One instance of the latter phenomenon recently turned into a big drama. Imagine a poly-amorous relationship between a bazillion of dynes and one webshit. It was cosy at first, but after a while the webshit started doing all kinds of crazy crap you'd expect from a toxic partner. This in turn forced the bazillion of dynes to reluctantly break up with the webshit. It was sad. Beautiful graphs of beautiful dynes were shattered and tremendous damage was caused to grassroots organization. But it was also a new beginning: many dynes turned to the decentralized social networks. With wounds still bleeding but new experience and hindsight, some dynes realized that it doesn't make sense to try and emulate what was. The relationship should begin on a healthy basis.

Most of this VR frenzie still feels like it did in the 90s to the derpy ol' dyne writing this newsletter. But there's delight in knowing that the space isn't entirely crowded by white-collar execs with big plans of value extractions. This thing is actually quite fun.

All partners share the confidence needed not just to adapt to, but to drive the transition into more just and sustainable economies. These dynes came together in the conviction that innovation mainly happens where it is least expected — for example, in cultural institutions that are well-anchored locally even if they aren’t globally branded. Genalguacil’s public museum foundation, Galway’s art festival, and Nowa Huta’s cultural centre C.K. Norwida may be small-scale organisations but they are lean, flexible and experienced enough to produce huge effects and impacts in their communities and beyond.  ⏩ Fast-forward To The Past One dyne shares the news that a mythical Magazine has been digitized and published online for everyone to read.

While the galaxy known as the Internet is busy figuring out what the next social pole will be, Planet Dyne is continuing on it's course towards sovereignty and togetherstanding. 🦶🏽 The battle of the giants, part 78 If you haven't heard about the epidemic of enshittificaiton by now, welcome to the Planet, fellow dyne! Hopefully, the time spent under the rock was cosy and full of creativity and hacking. There's no shame in locking oneself out of the incessant hype-buzz of the myriad of things happening everywhere, all the time, all at once. Here's the gist of the current spike in noise-to-signal ratio: corporate social networks are going down the drain. A person gives a note to a robot saying: "Please share this with my friends". The robot has a label that says: "social media algorithm" on it's metal body. The robot looks at the note and says: "I will show this to... No one!". The person answers: "But" and the robot pulls out a gun and says: "Pay me" It's like a breached ant-nest out there, where most native internauts are moving around, jiggling and shouting to try and settle what they believed was their followers, in a new corner of the web. Preferably one that Just Works®. All this is happening while the grassroots are playing a tune on the world's smallest open source violin. Hands playing on a very tiny violin But how to pivot that following? Where to take it? How to channel what was, into something to be? The situation has highlighted many concerns, particularly among small business waking up to the realization that their entire customer-base never belonged to them. Let alone influencers. Where they ever entrepreneurs or mere isolated employees of a network brand? What is certain is that, suddenly, they are in need of reinventing their entire brand to fit the changing tones of the crumbling behemoths and adapt to the new formats on the speculative successors. And there's no shortage of contenders. Some are brand new, others are the same old same old, and some are old but kinda fresh. cats: all your base are belong to us. Belonging in the 21st Century Dynes are social beings. While technology, arts and hacktivism are the forces that unite dynes, everything dynes do has always been about community. In times where the Internet is omnipresent, it is easy to forget that inter-personal networks go far beyond the digital. Dynes move fast, but they don't fear taking a well deserved aperitif with their fellows to recenter the focus on the path ahead and contemplate the journey it took to get where they are. This has led the Planet Dyne to have portals open on most of the known platforms, but be attached to none of them. (Except of course IRC). Because nurturing authentic connections is a platform agnostic activity. A commercial showing two persons holding hands looking at each other smiling. The picture is captioned "Nurture authentic connections". The second panel is close up of the two persons' hands which look absurdly deformed, revealing that the image is generated by AI. But platforms have their role. They frame the Wildest Webs of the World into user experiences that are easier to grasp than it is to understand the nature of a protocol. They allow for sending "😘" to Grand'ma without her having to get a degree in computer engineering. They are platforms within the greater Internet-Platform. They take care of the complexity, so you don't have to. And the current situation is the price of that service. Because the reality is that knowledge is power. Education and Organization While it is profitable to gate-keep knowledge through convenience, it is still possible to gain knowledge. And by gaining knowledge, a dyne becomes independent from webshits. Communing with fellow dynes and venturing outside the paradigm of doom-scrolling is one way to accrue emancipating experiences. It's a smol step for a dyne but takes the courage and effort to ask a hard question: "What is it I want to do?" The Internet may be facing an identity crisis, but the events that have lead up to it are well documented and mainly boil down to decisions made by people who's names and address can be found. These decisions can be undone. And if life together is to function in a digital society, dynes from all azimuths need to get involved in this process to bring back diversity, collaboration and constructive competition in a nearly monolithic realm built on a colonialist tradition. Effectively, work needs to be done on changing the broken regulations that have already been adopted and engagement with upcoming regulations need to happen. EU countries give crucial nod to first-of-a-kind Artificial Intelligence law The ambassadors of the 27 countries of the European Union unanimously adopted the world’s first comprehensive rulebook for Artificial Intelligence, rubber-stamping the political agreement that was reached in December.

It doesn't matter which platform you use, dynes will be waiting for you there with a helping hand to guide you into the warmth of decentralized community. Come conspire ▶️ Dyne:bolic IV After a long period of inactivity, the legendary live bootable GNU+Linux distribution called Dyne:bolic is making a come back with version 4 (IV). This time based on Devuan (Debian fork without systemd). True to it's roots (and the reggae), it promises a 100% free operative system, as defined by the FSF. For culture and information to circulate freely and unbiased, media activists, artists and creatives need to be independent from corporate alienation. Dynebolic is an Operating System and a practical tool for multimedia production: it enables the manipulation and broadcasting of audio, video and graphics, with tools to record, edit, encode, stream, and publish. Dyne:bolic automatically recognizes most device and peripherals: audio, video, TV, network cards, firewire, usb and more; all using only free software! A dyne spotted in Bangalore while hanging on a tree branch with his recycled old laptop. The aim is to make an OS that can run on as many computers as possible, old and new, including as a single executable inside other OS:es! The development takes place in a Git repository on the free platform Gitea at https://git.devuan.org/jaromil/dynebolic and the team welcomes contributions, feedback, documentation, testers, lurkers and happy dynes.

Planet Dyne is back in your super calculator, exploring the memory of the Internet, including the blank spaces. From the Gopher to the Cypher and everything in between. 🖖🏾 Greetings fellow dyne! At the time of writing this epsiode, the (known) Internet consists of about 25 Million Petabytes, growing at approximately 70 Terrabytes per second! Yet, it's memory isn't very long. Sometimes there's friction between a dyne's memory and that of the Internet: every dyne above 30 remembers MySpace Tom, but the very website that got him befriended with half of the webz doesn't remember his profile pic. In 2003 it was estimated that the average lifespan of a website is surprisingly short: 100 days! More recent studies conducted by people with stake in the game of selling websites claim it is longer. Still appallingly short considering how much of everything that happened between 2010 and 2024 is relying on this memory. Thankfully, the Neighboring Galaxy known as The Internet Archive is doing an excellent job at trying to save some of this history. Yet, the Internet expands. One can't help but wonder where all the thumb-drives are stored? Large Data center on the moon And this growth is not going to stop anytime soon. In fact, large corporations are working relentlessly at building the ultimate grey-goo generators to fill up the interwebz with all the none-sense we've come to expect.

Ah, the comfort of childhood! The glory of the teenage! Getting robbed for bubblegum. Or; the sweet existential doubts and candy-crushing dread of seeking out the courage to walk up to a crush. Every time has it's time. And then it is gone. The appreciation of the past is most likely subjective. But there are good reasons to study the evolution of the complexity of human existence. From the the point of view of the individual human to that of the collective humanity. Knowledge is power, and in this episode the Planet got exposed to some pretty enriching perspectives that can be applied to a wide range of systems.

Especially when it comes to cultures and customs. This is something that is fairly easy to manage on Planet Dyne, where every dyne is very clear about what constitutes "home". But for much bigger and heavier Planets like Europe, it poses many challenges. Thankfully, the planet is being proactive about it, with cool initiatives that showcase that residents of Planet Europe are better equipped to face today’s challenges through collaboration. The European Young Leaders represent an alternative infrastructure of leadership – a new generation of leaders able to inspire action and generate change. Together, their passion, diversity of backgrounds and opinions, and innovative thinking create the right formula for generating fresh ideas to build a more forward-thinking Europe.

Wasting approximately -0.1 time, they've implemented a DID for credential issuers, containing multiple public keys including the zero knowledge proof BBS and Coconut, as well as a P-256 public key compatible with the EUDI-ARF standard. For the JSON hungry, here's an example fresh out the DID Explorer: DID:Explorer by Dyne.org Explore, search and retrieve Dyne.org Distributed Identifiers, based on W3C standard. DID:Explorer by Dyne.org If you just embarked on this journey, DID means "Decentralized Identifer". It is a dear topic on Planet Dyne. Because it's applications can have a very deep impact in society. If objects, organizations and possibly even dynes are to be identified by hashes, it better be done in sovereign ways that respect dynes' integrity and privacy. Planet Dyne is very lucky, some of the most knowledgeable minds in the field live here. Come say hi sometime, fellow dyne! Either way, the future of the project is looking bright: there's even a standard on planet W3C. W3C DID Federated Service 🚲 Does time ride a bike? Popular culture would have it fly, but do we know for sure? Most likely there's an online community that does. But how to find it? As it looks today, many of the answers to that question would point to some centralized data-harvesting silo. Take for example the contemporary scene for cryptocurrency: a large portion of its documentation teed-bits and clarifications is hidden in some super interesting convo in a meme-battered Discord channel. Chances are that this Discord is the documented project's official one, but it could also be created by aficionados looking for some clam. Nobody can tell for sure, because Discord won't let you join all guilds in existence. The good practice of websearch-fu is helpless here. The walls of the goodest guilds are impenetrable to the search engines' crawlers! Heck, it's getting harder and harder to even enter those guilds as a human: the more popular they are, the harder the anti-spam guards. Proving humanity has become close to inhumanly difficult. And if you succeed, good luck with the local lingo! Ah, Tribalism... Now that is a promise that the Internet delivered on! The web was once decentralized and beautiful, until a couple of rich kids turned it into an interactive TV. Or at least so it can seem to the untrained navigator of the Interwebz. The decentralized web still exists, more beautiful and mature than ever. And it's at reach! You just have to put on your infinity pants and get out there on your quest. One good place to begin is Redecentralize.org Redecentralize.org 🌱 Large Lentils Mortar LLMs are all the rage and fuzz. Massive amounts of time and energy is consumed to fear them, revere them, build them, run them and implement them. In everything, preferably. There is seemingly no problem that this solution can't claim to be it's own. Dynes pride themselves in talking to each other without intermediaries and engage in comradery still estranged to robots. But the fascination is strong on this planet too: Who wouldn't want a personal all knowing daemon to crunch the basic daily maths? Maybe we'll get there. One way to get there is to acknowledge that technology is always political. This is an effective way to protect the fringes that bias may overlook. It also happens to be a technique applicable to anything tech. Not just warmongering rapping parrots. One good dyne shares good lecture on LLMs, fairly fresh one at that. As an added bonus, it promises not to be a retrospective on LLMs. Despite it being clear that 2023 was a special year for artificial intelligence.

The data output and input of dynes is very small compared to a robot. Sure, a dyne can listen and read real fast, sometimes in many languages! But that's nothing compared to the amounts of MP3s and books a powerful robot could listen to in one second! This is worrisome for some scientists. So they are trying to raise the hopes and mitigate these worries by hard-wiring brains to the computer. Wigsplitaz - Represent The Dead by Samling-Recordings Naturally, this assumes consciousness is a brain thing which, yeah! Makes sense... the eyeballs are there... and when the voices inside the head of an annoying dyne are disturbing, they can give very real headache! Also, data suggests that it is possible to translate brain activity into their corresponding thought!

Nina Simone - Felling Good (Sanvtto Remix) by Sanvtto What could be a better argument than a planet completing a cycle around a star, from an arbitrary position to another arbitrary position to further push the sovereignty of Planet Dyne?

The attentive dyne might remember Episode 38 of Season 2023, where a cool system for a sovereign mix of Patreon and Substack was mentioned, and dynes were encouraged to check it out. Well, as usual, Planet Dyne put their mouth where the fork is and practiced what it preaches. In fact you are looking at it now. This, fellow dyne, is the latest addition to the planet's propaganda apparatus: a self-hosted Ghost! Whatever brought you here, first and foremost: Greetings, fellow dyne!

The loud noises that the Vogons inflict upon the galaxy, by blowing up money in the sky and watching the terrified animals under the heavy-metals falling back to the ground. Sounds of Peace by Sound of Peace 👼🏿 The corporate benevolence A recurrent theme in the plot of Planet Dyne is the bizniz going on in the world of corporate networks. In this episode many dynes went to 37C3 to share and absorb propaganda of the tasty sort. It's some sort of anarchist plot via MostlyHarmless Thanks to Boris Larin, Leonid Bezvershenko, Georgy Kucherin, Igor Kuznetsov, Valentin Pashkov, and Mikhail Vinogradov, we got to see the loooooooooooong attack chain of a 0-click iMessage attack, which used four zero-days and was designed to work on iOS versions up to 16.2. Corporation shipping a friendly and peaceful product to the public It's pretty mad and also funny: rasterizer that get broken, still!?! Read everything about it here: Operation Triangulation: The last (hardware) mystery Recent iPhone models have additional hardware-based security protection for sensitive regions of the kernel memory. We discovered that to bypass this hardware-based security protection, the attackers used another hardware feature of Apple-designed SoCs. KasperskyBoris Larin Or watch the talk if you're feeling lazy: ⏳ Extension of time #2023PriavcyProof The annual privacy tech poll was extended to 15th January 2024. Web3 communal privacy poll of the year - selecting key projects, news & doxxers. This will help crucial projects to be exposed & increase privacy literacy across crypto. This means there is still plenty of time for lagging dynes to huge-up some Dyne.org projects! Annual Privacy Tech Poll - #2023privacyproof leaders behind privacy protocols, enthusiasts, developers, researchers, and community builders share crucial privacy projects, people, and events. #2023privacyproof — Web3privacy now 💰 And now, a word from our sponsor Minimalism is a scam created by big small to sell more less. 🎷🐛 Debugging systemd Every dyne knows how to debug systemd; all you need to do is to uninstall it. Or easier yet, install Devuan from the get go. That way, systemd isn't even a problem to begin with! Some good dynes have managed to leverage the Devuan-PI Daedalus build from http://arm-files.devuan.org to run a Pi-Hole. Doing that, the difference with Raspbian and other ARM distros bugged by systemd becomes evident. Here some images showing how they managed to run the Pi Hole v6-beta in less than 70MiB of RAM and below 50 °C temp on a RPi3-modelB htop screenshot showing the low resources in use. Pi-hole status showing a temp of 46.2 °C degrees, CPU at 0.7% and memory usage at 7.6% 😿 Sad news for the galaxy John Pilger, Australian journalist, filmmaker and activist has passed away. His films, writings and activism over decades covering conflict zones including East Timor & Palestine have always spoke truth to power and offered hope to the oppressed. So long and thanks for all the data! May your energy echo throughout the future. We extend out deepest condolences to the family of John Pilger who has sadly passed away aged 84 - may he Rest in Power The veteran journalist, writer and filmmaker was a ferocious speaker of truth to power, whom in later years tirelessly advocated for the release and… pic.twitter.com/ftSRfyXft7 — WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) December 31, 2023 🗺️ Cartographers' delight Maps are beautiful, maps are cool. One dyne brings the news of a super cool map showing the cables of the hyper highway of information. It's sexy, informative, and beautifully done. Basically, it is the map of all the known submarine cable in 2023. This new edition depicts 529 cable systems and 1,444 landings that are currently active or under construction. 🤞 New year's resolution still 1024x768 Same resolution as always: 1024x768 Promises can be beautiful, but they can also be burdening. Many dynes have a habit to put their hands to the dough everyday, but it doesn't stop one from making a resolution for the new year. Sort of a Tantra... ehrm... a MANTRA!... to try and improve existence during another spin around the star at the center of their system. Hands to the dough, via ajaneu The redaction of this newsletter encourages daily introspection of smol habits over trying to push a 7 metric ton of clumped bad habits. Like, maybe just try to be polite in some context where it could be worth it... Basically, less like this kid: 0:00 1:01 1× A kid showing every way in which he pissed off Italians during 2023 ... and more like these kids: Public High School Debate Billboard 🤌🏽 That's it for this episode!

While the giants of internet are taking jabs among themselves, grasping for the others' slice of the Interactive Television they built on top of the Internet, the smol web is blossoming. Dynes of all walks of life, shape and color are organizing in various forms to deliver the initial promises of internet: diversity, better communication, less middle-hands. Where the corporations are destroying their interoperability, musicians are repurposing RSS, Vloggers are appropriating the channels for their patrons, writers are self-hosting their blogs, communities are gathering in their own corner of the galaxy.

In fact the inhabitants of the planet are working relentlessly towards digital sovereignity for all. And it would be beautiful if you could lend a hand! To do that, no need to be a coder!

Devuan, the delicious GNU+Linux distro with init-freedom that stood up against the opak and convoluted systemd, keeps proliferating! With an average rating of 9.24 on DistroWatch, its rocking and shocking the universe with unparalleled stability. There are tons of community channels out there, it’s absolutely beautiful! But remember: the only official channels are those listed on devuan.org/os/community. In that list, let this newsletter recommend the exquisite and mythical billboard: dev1galaxy. Would be neat to see you there, fellow dyne! 🎷 Ardour 8.2 is out Lately, many dynes have expressed that reality feels like this: But it doesn't have to be this way. A dyne can define where it stands in the multiverse. Even in captivity, the mind of a dyne roams free in the realm of dreams. Reality has many natures. All of which are hard to fully comprehend. But while a dyne is free, a good way to practice dreaming and sharpen imagination is to create music. Music can radically alter a mood, and rally dynes from all calls. Something extremely important in this day and age. Some great dyne-like creatures from a neighboring planet are working on a super powerful Digital Audio Workstation called "Ardour". They have just released the latest version of their software. The raves and the bonfires are epic! That’s it for this edition of Previously on Planet Dyne, a little shorted than usual...
