~Open Source Security Tool of the Day~

Streisand sets up a new server running your choice of WireGuard, OpenConnect, OpenSSH, OpenVPN, Shadowsocks, sslh, Stunnel, or a Tor bridge. It also generates custom instructions for all of these services. At the end of the run you are given an HTML file with instructions that can be shared with friends, family members, and fellow activists.

This is likely the most comprehensive article on security keys available. Secure Authentication is the security domain that I am most interested in and this piece lights me up like a Christmas tree

How to stay safe online and prevent phishing with FIDO2, WebAuthn and security keys. A look into YubiKeys, TOTP authenticator apps, passwordless and more.

Also new in Firefox 70: Press CTRL+L to set focus to the address field, then press tab once to move onto a button, then start typing the letters of the button you want to focus. The search is incremental. This allows for quick navigation in the toolbars.
For example, if you have the 1Password extension installed, press CTRL+L, tab, 1 to focus it, and Space to activate and fill out the login for the current form.

Just set up some cool organisational secrets using our family #Bitwarden (Fully #FOSS Rust implementation) to ensure my family can get to my important stuff if something happens to me. Puts my mind at ease. You can do it too: https://tech.oeru.org/setting-your-own-bitwarden-password-keeper-and-sync-server Next challenge: to get my wife and kids to actually use it... 🤔

I have made a small improvement to YouTube2PeerTube. The tool now has the ability to mirror YT videos directly without downloading and then uploading them! If you have bandwidth restrictions and/or have no interest in archiving videos you mirror, you now have a more lightweight option.

You can tell Google to fsck themselves with their "payment policy" by simply installing Wireguard from F-Droid which I've been doing since version 1 https://news.slashdot.org/story/19/10/16/2215248/google-ejects-open-source-wireguard-from-play-store-over-donation-links

Also tons of other cool #android apps on F-Droid, all open-source, carefully checked for privacy violations and built from source.

And before anyone bemoans the whole Cloudflare thing:

"But this doesn’t mean you have to use Cloudflare. Users can configure Firefox to use whichever DoH-supporting recursive resolver they want. As more offerings crop up, we plan to make it easy to discover and switch to them."
