Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>Just released: <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/swad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>swad</span></a> 0.5</p><p>swad is the "Simple Web Authentication Daemon", meant to add authentication using a <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/cookie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cookie</span></a> and a <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/login" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>login</span></a> form to your reverse proxy. It's designed for <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/nginx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nginx</span></a>' "auth_request" module. It's written in pure <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>C</span></a> with very few external dependencies (zlib, and depending on build options OpenSSL/LibreSSL and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/PAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PAM</span></a>).</p><p>And with this release, it also allows guest logins using the crypto puzzle you may already know from <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Anubis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anubis</span></a>!</p><p>Read more in the release notes, grab the .tar.xz and build/install it 😎 </p><p><a href="https://github.com/Zirias/swad/releases/tag/v0.5" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/Zirias/swad/release</span><span class="invisible">s/tag/v0.5</span></a></p>

mms :runbsd: :emacs: :c64:<p>I am temporarily disabling <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/anubis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anubis</span></a> due to problems for rss clients</p><p><a href="https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=286327" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show</span><span class="invisible">_bug.cgi?id=286327</span></a></p><p>(I just change the port in nginx config, so I bypass anubis... which is cool)</p>

We don't find it an environmental friendly solution and we don't want to punish legitimate users for what some bad actors are doing.</p><p>It's still up for discussion and we'll decide next time we meet. We're all volunteers so we'll have to find a solution that doesn't cause to much of a time investment.</p>
Kita Filipino Edition :blobcatadorable:<p>Looks like <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/codeberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>codeberg</span></a> has deployed <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/anubis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anubis</span></a> to certain endpoints of the website, probably to combat those pesky AI bots scraping our code</p>
Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>I just added support for customizing templates ... and now there's a button for "guest access" 🥳 </p><p>Let's polish all of this some more, document it, and release it soon. For all <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/nginx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nginx</span></a> reverse proxy users, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/swad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>swad</span></a> might become an interesting alternative to <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/anubis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anubis</span></a>.</p>
Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>Actually looking at this code I wrote (ideas and rough structure indeed "stolen" from <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/anubis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anubis</span></a>, but rewritten, slightly modified, and everything I think I *don't* need left out):</p><p><a href="https://github.com/Zirias/swad/blob/master/src/bin/swad/static/pow.mjs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/Zirias/swad/blob/ma</span><span class="invisible">ster/src/bin/swad/static/pow.mjs</span></a></p><p>... I have to say, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Javascript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Javascript</span></a> *is* a nice language. I mean, I already liked it when all you had were functions, prototypes and lambdas, that was a very *unusual* model, but still kind of cool ... but nowadays, it seems it can do pretty much "everything", expressed in a quite readable way.</p><p>I don't get why it gets so much "hate" every now and then.</p>
Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/swad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>swad</span></a>'s new <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/pow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pow</span></a> (proof of work) credential checker is working! 🥳 It does almost exactly the same as <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/anubis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anubis</span></a>, with two little differences:</p><p>* the nonce string is calculated from a number by some custom base64-like encoding, which is a little bit more work than what anubis does.<br>* still it's only a fraction of the <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/javascript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>javascript</span></a> code because it skips e.g. all the "progress reporting" (don't really see the point here, it's probabilistic anyways, so just show a spinner) and similar things.</p><p>What's exactly the same is spreading the work across one worker per core, and the goal to find a nonce that makes the challenge sha256-hash to something with n (default: 5) leading zeros.</p><p>Before crafting a new release of <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/swad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>swad</span></a>, I'll think about ways how to customize the login form template (so you can e.g. just add a button for "login as guest", or tell the user what to enter for that).</p><p>BTW, the binary size is currently around 175 kiB 😎</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>C</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coding</span></a></p>
Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>There's a lot that could still be improved in <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/swad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>swad</span></a>, but I don't get that "proof of work" idea out of my mind, so I started a branch to work on it:</p><p><a href="https://github.com/Zirias/swad/pull/1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/Zirias/swad/pull/1</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>I really think it makes sense when you want some publicly known "guest login" which is still protected against <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/bots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bots</span></a>. Not sure yet whether this will succeed, we will see!</p><p>It certainly won't be as "fancy" as <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/anubis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anubis</span></a>, but do the same thing functionally: Require the client to find a <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/nonce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonce</span></a> that, combined with a server-provided <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/challenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>challenge</span></a>, hashes to something with 'n' leading zeros using <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/sha256" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sha256</span></a>. In contrast to anubis, swad won't have to proxy everything (but rely on nginx' auth_request), and no challenge will be issued when the user logs in with credentials some *other* credentials checker accepts.</p>
Techaro<p>Techaro BotStopper (the commercial cut of <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Anubis" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anubis</a>) is near ready for its first ~~victim~~, uhh customer, I mean customer. We'll have more docs in the future, but have a preview of what's to come in this thread!</p>
