Decided to write another GIMP Plugin.

Dream Background Remover leverages the Replicate AI model 851-labs/background-remover to easily remove image backgrounds.

So I built a GIMP plugin for Nano Banana, Gemini's latest image generation model.

Read about my migration from Sonos to Bluesound. Technical details included.

TLDR - The Sonos update in May made their product completely unusable for months, so I had to find another solution. Bluesound was that solution.

Took this down due to intentional changes to snort to prevent other people from hosting the service. Quite sad.

Just released ws-tcp-proxy v0.1.2. If your looking for a simple WebSocket to TCP proxy, this might be useful for you.

This allows websites to directly access TCP services.

If you are in the US and care about crypto, pay attention!

Thank you Senator Lummis for stating the obvious and living in reality. Anyone supporting Tether should seriously rethink their stance.

Yggdrasil is one of my favorite projects. One day more people will see the benefits of this network design.

Can you find me on the network? Shouldn't be too hard.

If you use http://jabber.ru, you have been getting wiretapped for a while now. Might want to read this.

If you think encrypted messengers are always secure, they aren't.

Been trying to figure out how avatar updates are handled in Nostr. Looked through all the NIPs, and can only find banner references in NIP-24, but nothing about avatars.

Anyone have suggestions on where I can look? They are obviously supported, since every major client allows you to set it. I just can't seem to find it.

Always been a fan of After Skool. Worth a watch.

Decided to deploy Snort to my Kubernetes cluster. For anyone that wants a really fast Nostr web client, here you go!

A few thoughts about ssh-audit. Quite a useful tool.

Nostr would be far better if it supported any crypto instead of focusing on LN zaps. A NIP should be proposed that allows you to sign a message containing your preferred crypto network and address.

Front ends can then provide a QR code for tips/payments. Simple and effective.

Just published a new guide on enhancing your online privacy and security! If you're concerned about your digital footprint, check out my latest piece for simple, actionable steps to take. Finally a way to fix the SNI leak using ECH!

Finally got ECH working in both Firefox and Brave without breaking lokinet. Huge thanks to jedisct1 for https://github.com/DNSCrypt/doh-server. Now I have a local DoH resolver that connects to my local dnsmasq instance.

You can test for ECH support at https://defo.ie/ech-check.php.

Security and privacy should always be a priority!

If you want to learn more about the ECH rollout, Cloudflare has a great writeup at https://blog.cloudflare.com/handshake-encryption-endgame-an-ech-update/.

So when can I associate an on chain address with my Nostr profile?
