I just wrote an ansible role to install and configure LNbits with just a single command. It hasn't been through code review yet, but it worked on my test environment. You can use the nginx.nginx, geerlingguy.certbot, and nginx.nginx_config roles to get TLS certs from LetsEncrypt. I've tested that as well.

Just bought a couple hundred bucks worth of stuff over Tor. Had to get a new identity once near the end, but it otherwise worked fine. I'm doing my part to show businesses and they should not block #Tor users from doing business with them. Amazon already knows this, but I've been trying to buy direct from vendors rather than going through a marketplace. The only way this could have been more #cyberpunk is if I could pay in #bitcoin instead of Mastercard. One step at a time, right? #privacy

I saw a VW Rabbit in beautiful condition the other day. ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿ’‹ Complete with the original mudflaps! Note the size of the parking spot as compared to the size of the car. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Matthew Green provides sober look at the #e2ee situation in the #UK with regards to #Apple's #iCloud. I don't like Apple, but this seemed like a fair piece to me. I have to wonder how Apple knows which users are in the UK. IP address? Time zone settings? Whatever address they typed into their iCloud profile? It seems like some people may suddenly move out of the UK and suddenly start using a VPN all the time.

I'm too much of a #hippie to even #recycle this case that has a blemish on it. It will now be the case for my personal #Signet so it doesn't go to #waste. image Fortunately, the next print came out just fine. #3DPrinting #electronics #security #cybersecurity #privacy

Sundays are my day off, and I'm redefining what that means. I was thinking it meant I would only do fun things, nothing productive, no scheduled events. But I found myself wondering "what am I supposed to be doing today?" That's the wrong question. Instead, I'm just going to do whatever catches my fancy. That squeaky chair, now's a fine time to lubricate it. #3Dprinting? sure. IT tasks? sure, if I feel like it. Cleaning the garage? Why not? Still no scheduled event though. I just wander. So today I modeled and printed several versions of a box lid (this third attempt is going to nail those allowances ๐Ÿคž). Worked on some Signet tickets (mostly documentation). Read some articles in the latest @2600 mag. Downloaded a pre-release of Qubes 4.3, threw it on the thumb drive and installed it on a test machine. WD-40ed my desk chair Installed and tested a UPS for my desktop. It was just a bunch of random things that seemed like a good idea. It was enjoyable.
