Damn, spent almost 2 hours trying to figure out why yt-dlp was giving me DNS errors when used together with torsocks, it always worked fine, but at the end, the culprit was the external downloader aria2c, when I removed it from the parameters, everything worked smooth 😪

#linux #aria2c #ytdlp #tor #torsocks #youtube

rdrview is a nice #terminal tool to use #firefox reader view to open links, if you combine with #torsocks + #lynx, you’ll get a simple view of articles online without distractions.

🔗 : https://github.com/eafer/rdrview

Examples:

Open in your default browser:
./rdrview https://fsf.org

Open in your terminal lynx browser:
./rdrview -B lynx https://fsf.org

Open your lynx terminal browser through the #Tor network:
torsocks ./rdrview -B lynx https://fsf.org

ya mejoré la lista #nahuatl y agregue opciones para descargar fuera de #github, tambien desde sitio #onion con #torsocks https://github.com/carlosm2/lista-nahuatl

Torsocks, why hath thou forsaken me.

#torsocks #bash

And the next #services have found place in our #wiki.

#torsocks #unbound #nginx #php and #mariadb

Not many left anymore for our server section. Your DIY weekend can start soon.

Next will be #wireguard and #nextcloud

I'm slowly increasing my #Tor usage, and I'm very happy about it so far. Now I'm basically using Tor browser to read news and surf the web in general, and using a hardened #Firefox only in websites that I have accounts and need to log in (like this one).

Also, I'm using more #RSS than ever to read news about my favorite websites, and I also tunnel the RSS app with #torsocks via terminal ... it's been a good journey.

Hmm, it looks like #torsocks in Linux Mint has been erroring when used in conjunction with SSH:

$ torsocks ssh torserver -v
OpenSSH_8.2p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.4, OpenSSL 1.1.1f 31 Mar 2020
1645235100 WARNING torsocks[18283]: [syscall] Unsupported syscall number 39
(...)
Assertion 'fclose_nointr(f) != -EBADF' failed at src/basic/fd-util.c:121, function safe_fclose(). Aborting

Tor 0.4.2.7, torsocks 2.3.0 here.

Wouldn't be the first time a seemingly updated package here breaks (ex:openarena)

#tor

@clayogra #torsocks #mutt, then you can read and write #mail at cockmailwwfvrtqj.onion

@torproject, because I was unable to attend it, I was hoping to download the live stream by running youtube-dl through #torsocks to watch it later, but it is unfortunate that as of recently this privacy-preserving tool combination gets you this:

ERROR: Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests

#TIL I can use #torsocks as more than just a proxy: DNS gets also resolved through #Tor, so .onion adresses can also be resolved and used naturally by applications that otherwise have no knowledge of how Tor works.

So, doing something like `torsocks ssh someonionaddress.onion` will work without the need for netcat, etc.

Neat trick!

@wolf480pl
Quite right, if the browser does everything over HTTPS then running it with #torsocks might be a way forward also.

Eg.

> $ torsocks rhapsode

Likewise how secure and fingerprint resistant that might be would need to be assessed.
