          <h2><b>Introduction </b></h2>
 <p>
 Email is one of the most widely used forms of online communication, both for personal and professional interactions. With billions sent daily, you would expect email to be secure, accessible, and readable by only the intended recipient. Unfortunately, email is an old technology and this is not always the case. With metadata being visible, large email providers scanning emails, as well as potential government surveillance in some parts of the world, it is no surprise that email is hardly considered private. As such, you may want to send an email that is not tied to your real identity. In this article, we will explore how to sign up for email account anonymously. Specifically, we will explore a privacy-focused email provider, <b>Proton Mail</b>, and how to sign up using Tor without inputting any additional information whatsoever.

          <h2><b>Setup</b></h2> </br> </br>
 <p>
 Using the Tor Browser, navigate to Proton Mail's onion address to create a free account. You can find the address on their <a href=https://proton.me/blog/tor-encrypted-email target=_blank>official site</a>. It is also posted here for convenience:
 <br>

 At the time of writing, the next page produced an error resulting in some aspects not loading correctly. No matter, we carry on. Click to select a plan as shown.

 <p>
 We are not interested in a paid plan, so click to continue with free.

 </p>
 <p>
 Enter a unique username and password and click Create Account.

 </p>
 <p>
 At this point, you will be greeted with additional verification. Proton Mail does this to prevent abuse of their services by bots and spammers. If presented with the option requiring verification by email or <a href=https://blog.nowhere.moe/opsec/anonsms/index.html target=_blank>SMS</a>, close the browser and restart from the beginning. After maybe a handful of attempts, you will be presented with Proton's Captcha option. Slide the puzzle piece in place and click Next.

 <p>
 And your new anonymous email account is ready for use! In line with practicing good <a href=https://blog.nowhere.moe/opsec/opsec4levels/index.html target=_blank>OPSEC</a>, this account is for use exclusively over the Tor network for activities unrelated to your real identity.

            <h1>Anonymity - Easy Anonymous Chats Using SimpleX</h1>
            <p>In this tutorial we're going to see how to setup a chat application for Anonymous use. This is especially important in a world where mass-surveillance is nearly-omnipresent. It has become the end users' responsibility to  uphold their privacy and anonymity while communicating online.</p>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
    <!-- Why Anonymous Chats? -->

          <div class="col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2">
            <h2><b>Choosing the most appropriate chat application</b></h2>
 <p>In order to choose the most appropriate messaging app for our intended use (Anonymity), we have the following requirements:</p>
 <p><u>Privacy:</u></p>
 <ol>
 <li><p>The application must be free and open source (FOSS)</p></li>
 <li><p>The application must have End to End Encryption by default (E2EE)</p></li>
 <li><p>The application must allow us to run and use our own servers (Decentralisation)</p></li>
 </ol>
 <p><u>Anonymity:</u></p>
 <ol>
 <li><p>The application must support Tor .onion servers out of the box</p></li>
 <li><p>The application must allow you to chat without requiring any information (no emails, no usernames, no phone numbers)</p></li>
 <li><p>The application must have the ability for us to join chatrooms without revealing our identity (Incognito Mode)</p></li>
 </ol>
 <p><u>Deniability:</u></p>
 <ol>
 <li><p>The application must have disappearing messages (Deniability)</p></li>
 </ol>
 <p>You'd be suprised to see that as of right now (November 2024) there is only SimpleX that actually fits all of these criterias. therefore that's what we'll use for Anonymous chats.</p>

            <h2><b>How to Set Up Anonymous Chats</b></h2>
            <h3><b>Step 1. Option A: GNU/Linux</b></h3>
            <p>First, update your package list and install Tor by running the following commands in your terminal:</p>
            <pre><code class=nim">sudo apt update
 sudo apt install tor</pre></code>
            <p>Once installed, start the Tor service:</p>
            <pre><code class=nim">sudo systemctl start tor@default</pre></code>
            <p>Next you'll need to download SimpleX AppImage which can be <a href="https://simplex.chat/downloads/">found here on SimpleX website</a>.</p>
            <p>Open a terminal in the directory of your downloaded AppImage. Make the AppImage executable, then launch it:</p>
            <pre><code class=nim">
 [ mainpc ] [ /dev/pts/26 ] [~]
 → chmod +x simplex-desktop-x86_64.AppImage
 [ mainpc ] [ /dev/pts/26 ] [~]
 → ./simplex-desktop-x86_64.AppImage
 </pre></code>
            <h3><b>Step 1. Option B: Android</b></h3>
            <p>Download and install the Orbot .apk from <a
                href="https://github.com/guardianproject/orbot/releases"
                target="_blank">the GitHub repository</a>.</p>
            <img src="Orbot1.png" class="imgRz"
              alt="Orbot installation screenshot">
            <p>Open Orbot, and in the bottom-right corner, tap on <strong>More</strong>, then <strong>Settings</strong> to enter the settings.</p>
            <p>In the settings menu, scroll down and enable the <strong>Power User Mode</strong>.</p>
            <p>After enabling Power User Mode, go back to the More section and press <strong>Choose apps</strong> and select SimpleX in the list. Go back to <strong>Connect</strong> in the bottom navigation menu and press <strong>Connect</strong>.</p>

            <h2><b>Step 3. SimpleX Server Setup</b></h2>
            <p>It's important to note that in theory, it doesn't matter which SimpleX server you connect to, as all communication is end-to-end encrypted. When you connect via Tor, it further ensures that the server itself won't be able to trace your connection back to you. Your anonymity is maintained through the use of Tor, and your conversations are protected by SimpleX's encryption.</p>
            <p>HackLiberty has a great guide on how to install and configure a
              SimpleX server using Docker.</p>
            <ul>
              <li><strong>1. </strong> Navigate to the <a

            <p>After setting up your SimpleX server, you need to configure your
              client to route its traffic through it.</p>
            <p>Open the kebab menu at the bottom left again, and navigate to
              <strong>Settings &gt; Network and servers</strong>, then press

            <p>If you desire, you can remove all the default SimpleX instances
              individually before proceeding; this ensures that SimpleX will
              only ever use your server.</p>
            <p>Press <strong>Add server</strong>, then <strong>Enter server
                manually</strong>. Specify your SMP server address and save.
              Make sure to check the <strong>Use for new connections</strong>
              option.</p>

            <p>After configuring your SimpleX client through Orbot and your own
              server, you are ready to create and join chatrooms. Here is how to
              create a chatroom in Incognito mode:</p>
            <h3><b>Step 1: Create the Chatroom</b></h3>
            <p>Press the pen icon in the bottom right of the screen. This will
              bring up a menu. Select <strong>Create group</strong>.</p>
            <img src="Simplex9.png" class="imgRz"
              alt="Creating a group in SimpleX">
            <p>Enter a name for your group. You can also add a photo for the
              group.</p>
            <p>Tick the <strong>Incognito</strong> option. Doing this ensures
              your profile name and image is hidden from your group members and
              allows for anonymous connections with other people without shared
              data. Once you have filled out the necessary information, press
              <strong>Create group</strong>.</p>

            <h3><b>Step 2: Invite Members</b></h3>
            <p>After creating your chatroom, you will be met with an invite
              link. You will use this link to invite other people to your
              chatroom.</p>

            <h2><b>Conclusion</b></h2>
            <p>By following this tutorial, you've set up a secure, anonymous
              chat system using SimpleX and Tor. You've learned how to install
              Orbot, configure SimpleX servers with `.onion` addresses, create
              incognito chatrooms, and join them anonymously. This setup ensures
              that your private conversations remain secure and untraceable.</p>
            <h3><b>What You've Accomplished</b></h3>
            <p>- Installed Orbot and routed traffic through the Tor network.<br>
              - Configured SimpleX servers to use `.onion` addresses.<br>
              - Created and joined anonymous chatrooms in incognito mode.</p>

          <h2><b>Introduction </b></h2>
 <p>
 Many services ask for your phone number when signing up to perform SMS verification. This is undesirable for many reasons, including the possible sharing of your information with third parties, exposure during data leaks, and correlating social demographics for further surveillance. To get around this we need a way to receive SMS messages anonymous in order to sign up for our desired services. While you may get lucky and be able to get around the phone number requirement with various free online services that receive SMSes, it is generally not a reliable solution because many of the phone numbers provided are already taken, blocked or incompatible due to their VoIP infrastructure. In this article we will explore <b>SMSpool: a cheap, non-KYC, non-VoIP phone service provider that accepts crypto payments.</b> Specifically, we will explore how to receive a one-time SMS code to sign up for a Telegram account anonymously.

 				<div class="col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2">
          <h2><b>Setup</b></h2> </br> </br>
 <p>
 Using the Tor browser, navigate to smspool.net. You may be automatically redirected to an onion address:
 <img src="sms1.png" class="imgRz">
 </p>
 <p>
 Register a unique username and password. Accept the Terms & Conditions, verify you are human and click Register. Then simply log in.
 <img src="sms2.png" class="imgRz">
 </p>
 <p>
 We will need to get a sense of prices to know how much this is going to cost. On the left sidebar, click on Order and select your desired country and service. We'll go with a United Kingdom phone number for Telegram. Scroll down and click on Advanced view to see more detailed information. Scroll down some more and find a Pool that has stock listed. In this case, the Mike Pool has plenty of stock and a listed price of $0.81. We will need to deposit this amount of XMR into our account. Note: the listed success rate is not very reliable and while 30% may seem low, there is actually no penalty for failed attempts since orders purchased that do not receive an SMS in the allotted timeframe are automatically refunded.
 <img src="sms3.png" class="imgRz">
 </p>
 <p>
 The next step is funding your account. On the left panel, click on Deposit. Select Cryptocurrency, leave your country set to Other, and finally select XMR. SMSpool will output a newly generated XMR address which you can use to fund your account either by copy/pasta or by scanning the QR code.
 <img src="sms4.png" class="imgRz">
 </p>
 <p>
 Using DuckDuckGo, we calculate $0.81 to be 0.00532927 XMR. We populate the required fields in our Monero Wallet and send the transaction, leaving the default transaction priority. Once the transaction is sent and has received around 10 on-chain confirmations, you will receive a notification on SMSpool that your funds are received. 
 <img src="sms5.png" class="imgRz">
 </p>
 <p>
 With your account funded, it's time to purchase a one-time-use SMS verification. Proceed in the same way you did when checking prices and click Purchase on the Mike Pool option under the Advanced view. 
 </p>
 <p>
 <ol>
  <li>You will now see a phone number generated onscreen under the Pending SMS section</li>
  <li>Enter this number in your phone Telegram app</li>
  <li>Proceed to the next screen on Telegram</li>
  <li>You should now receive an SMS code in the Pending SMS section on SMSpool</li>
  <li>Enter the SMS code into Telegram</li>
 </ol>
 </p>

          <h2><b>Conclusion</b></h2> </br> </br>
 <p>
 Simply complete the remaining steps onscreen and voilà! If prompted for an email address, alias addresses from SimpleLogin will do the trick despite the onscreen warning from SMSpool about disposable email addresses not working. SMSpool doesn't reuse phone numbers for the same service so the number you purchased for Telegram will not be resold to anyone else signing up for Telegram. They also do not rotate phone numbers after a period of time has passed. However, it is possible that upstream carriers may recycle numbers after some 6 months and this is something that SMSpool does not have control over. <a href=https://files.catbox.moe/i9xqzc.png target="_blank">Sauce</a>

 <h1>Matrix Chat Setup </h1>
 <img src="0.png" style="width:250px">
 <p>In this tutorial we're going to setup a private matrix chat server along with VoIP support for the element desktop client. </p>
 <p><u>Disclaimer:</u> If you want this service to remain anonymous, make sure you at least keep <a href="../sensitiveremotevshome/index.html">TOR between you and the service</a> from the <a href="../anonymousremoteserver/index.html">VPS acquisition</a> to actual service usage. </p>

 				<div class="col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2">
          <h2><b>Initial Setup </b></h2>
 <p>First install the required packages:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 apt install docker.io docker-compose
 </code></pre>
 <p>Then create the directories required:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 mkdir /srv/matrix/data -p
 chown -R 755 /srv/matrix/data
 cd /srv/matrix
 </code></pre>
 <p>Then we'll create the docker-compose.yml file and the generateconfig.sh script:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → cat docker-compose.yml
 version: "3.3"
 services:
 synapse:
  image: "matrixdotorg/synapse:latest"
  container_name: "matrix_synapse"
  ports:
   - 8008:8008
  volumes:
   - "./data:/data" #it will look at the current directory where you save the file and look for the data folder inside
  environment:
   VIRTUAL_HOST: "m.nowhere.moe"
   VIRTUAL_PORT: 8008
   LETSENCRYPT_HOST: "m.nowhere.moe"
   SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME: "m.nowhere.moe"
   SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS: "yes"
 coturn:
  image: instrumentisto/coturn:latest
  restart: unless-stopped
  volumes:
   - ./coturn/turnserver.conf:/etc/coturn/turnserver.conf
  ports:
   - 47160-47200:47160-47200/udp
   - 3478:3478
   - 5349:5349
  networks:
   - mybridge
 networks:
 mybridge:
  driver: bridge
 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → cat generateconfig.sh
 #!/bin/bash
 docker-compose run --rm -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=m.nowhere.moe -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=yes synapse generate
 </code></pre>
 <p>My matrix server will have the "m.nowhere.moe" domain name. The coturn config mentioned here is used for the VOIP support. Now let's generate the initial keys of the matrix server like so:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → ./generateconfig.sh
 Creating network "matrix_default" with the default driver
 Creating network "matrix_mybridge" with driver "bridge"
 Setting ownership on /data to 991:991
 Creating log config /data/m.nowhere.moe.log.config
 Generating config file /data/homeserver.yaml
 Generating signing key file /data/m.nowhere.moe.signing.key
 A config file has been generated in '/data/homeserver.yaml' for server name 'm.nowhere.moe'. Please review this file and customise it to your needs.
 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → ls
 coturn  data  docker-compose.yml  docker-compose.yml.coturn  generateconfig.sh  m.nowhere.moe.conf.nginx
 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → ls data -lash
 total 20K
 4.0K drwxr-xr-x 2  991  991 4.0K Jan 14 11:12 .
 4.0K drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Jan  4 13:50 ..

 4.0K -rw-r--r-- 1 root root   59 Jan 14 11:12 m.nowhere.moe.signing.key
 </code></pre>
 <p>Now that's done, we can edit the homeserver.yaml if you want to remove trust into the "matrix.org" keys for federation to make it a truly private server:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → cat data/homeserver.yaml | grep server
 trusted_key_servers:
  - server_name: ""
 </code></pre>
 <p>Then we can edit the coturn config like so:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → ls
 coturn  data  docker-compose.yml  docker-compose.yml.coturn  generateconfig.sh  m.nowhere.moe.conf.nginx
 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → cat coturn/turnserver.conf

 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → cat data/homeserver.yaml | grep turn

 turn_shared_secret: "cuAWWAAWWAAWWAWADDWADWADWADWADWADWAWADDWADWWADWADDWADWDWoy"
 turn_user_lifetime: 86400000
 turn_allow_guests: true
 </code></pre>
 <p>Make sure the ports match the ones in the docker-compose.yml file, and the external IP is the one of your server:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → curl ifconfig.me -4
 116.202.216.190
 </code></pre>
 <p>Then we start the docker-compose:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → docker-compose up -d
 Creating matrix_coturn_1 ... done
 Creating matrix_synapse  ... done
 </code></pre>
 <p>Then we create the accounts like so:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → docker container ls | grep matrixdot

 </code></pre>
 <p>Then we make sure that we can access the matrix server via nginx:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → cat /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/m.nowhere.moe.conf

    location ~ ^(/_matrix|/_synapse/client) {
        # note: do not add a path (even a single /) after the port in `proxy_pass`,
        # otherwise nginx will canonicalise the URI and cause signature verification
        # errors.
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8008;

        # Synapse responses may be chunked, which is an HTTP/1.1 feature.
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
    }
 }
 [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/matrix]
 → nginx -t
 nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
 nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
 </code></pre>
 <p>Then we test that we can login from a matrix client (which can be installed inside a <a href="../whonixqemuvms/index.html">whonix VM</a>), let's use <a href="https://element.io/download">element</a> because we want to be able to do voicecalls:</p>

 <p>Here we will setup a secure backup password, that is a separate password, for end to end encryption purposes. Then you can do the following steps:</p>

 <p>Make sure you log out of every unverified session:</p>

          <h2><b>Initial Setup </b></h2>
 <p>First let's install the required packages, and then run the xmpp server using docker (you can check the documentation <a href="https://github.com/processone/docker-ejabberd/blob/master/ecs/README.md">here</a>), we'll follow <a href="https://landchad.net/ejabberd/">Lukesmith's tutorial</a> specifically:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 apt install ejabberd -y
 </code></pre>
 <p>Now we need the following domain names to point to your server:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
    nowhere.moe - Your XMPP hostname
    xmpp.nowhere.moe - For mod_muc, Multi User Chats (MUCs)
    upload.nowhere.moe - For mod_http_upload, file upload support
    proxy.nowhere.moe - For mod_proxy65, SOCKS5 proxy support
    pubsub.nowhere.moe - For mod_pubsub, publish-subscribe support (A fancier RSS)
 </code></pre>
 <p>Then we edit the ejabberd config file accordingly:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ Datura ] [ /dev/pts/10 ] [/srv]
 → vim /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.yml
 [...]
 hosts:
  - nowhere.moe
 [...]
  mod_muc:
    host: xmpp.nowhere.moe
 [...]
 </code></pre>
 <p>Next we need to obtain the TLS certificate for the xmpp.nowhere.moe domain, to do so we'll use acme.sh: </p>
 <pre><code class="nim">

 <p>Then we add the admin user in ejabberd.yml:</p>

 acl:

 <p>We also add the File Uploads:</p>

 <p>We enable message archives too:</p>

  mod_mam:

 </code></pre>
 <p>Next, you setup a coturn service for the VOIP <a href="https://landchad.net/coturn/">here</a>, but in this case we'll use the same coturn service that we previously setup for the <a href="../matrixnew/index.html">matrix server</a></p>
 <pre><code class="nim">

 </code></pre>
 <p>Then we restart the ejabberd service:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">

 <h1>XMPP Chat Server Setup (Clearnet + Onion + OMEMO E2EE)</h1>
 <p>In this tutorial, we're going to check out how to setup a XMPP chat server, that is accessible over Tor, as a hidden service, using Prosody. We'll also cover how to have a Clearnet XMPP server, and how to have OMEMO End to End encryption using the Gajim XMPP client.</p>

 <p>all good now, now let's connect to it using pidgin:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ mainpc ] [ /dev/pts/9 ] [~/Nextcloud/blog]
 → apt install pidgin -y
 [ mainpc ] [ /dev/pts/9 ] [~/Nextcloud/blog]
 → pidgin
 </code></pre>
 <p>Then, create your account on the XMPP server:</p>

 <img src="3.png" class="imgRz">
 <img src="4.png" class="imgRz">
 <img src="6.png" class="imgRz">
 <img src="5.png" class="imgRz">
 <p>Next, we can start chatting with Alice, who is another user on that XMPP server like so:</p>
 <img src="7.png" class="imgRz">
 <p>Then from Alice's XMPP client, we accept nihilist's buddy request:</p>

          <h2><b>Optional XMPP server options:</b></h2> </br> </br>
 <p>if you want to enable message archiving, enable the "mam" module by uncommenting it:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 root@ANON-home:~# vim /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 root@ANON-home:~# cat /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 [...]
 modules_enabled = {
                "mam"; -- Store recent messages to allow multi-device synchronization
 }
 [...]
 </code></pre>
 <p>and then you can mention the expiration time of messages like so:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 root@ANON-home:~# vim /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 root@ANON-home:~# cat /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 archive_expires_after = "1w" -- remove archived messages after 1 week
 </code></pre>
 <p>you can choose to limit the bandwidth usage of your server too, using the mod_limits module:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 root@ANON-home:~# vim /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 root@ANON-home:~# cat /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 limits = {
 	c2s = {
 		rate = "10kb/s";
 	}
 	s2sin = {
 		rate = "30kb/s";
 	}
 }
 </code></pre>
 <p>You can also enable archiving on the multi-user chats like so :</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 root@ANON-home:~# vim /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 root@ANON-home:~# cat /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 Component "conference.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.onion" "muc"
        modules_enabled = { "onions", "muc_mam" };
        onions_only = true;
 </code></pre>
 <p>And just like in mod_mam, you can set the expiration time of the messages in MUCs:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 root@ANON-home:~# vim /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 root@ANON-home:~# cat /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 Component "conference.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.onion" "muc"
        modules_enabled = { "onions", "muc_mam" };
        onions_only = true;
 		muc_log_expires_after = "1w"
 </code></pre>
 <p>Then, you can also enable file archiving using mod_http_file_share:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 root@ANON-home:~# vim /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 root@ANON-home:~# cat /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 Component "upload.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.onion" "http_file_share"
        modules_enabled = { "onions" };
        onions_only = true;
 		http_file_share_daily_quota = 100*1024*1024;	-- 100 MiB
 		http_file_share_after = 7*86400;				-- One week in seconds
 		http_file_share_size_limit = 10*1024*1024		-- 10 Mib
 </code></pre>
 <p>Then,  as you're going to have a multi user chat, you'll most likely need the mod_muc_moderation module:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 root@ANON-home:~# vim /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 root@ANON-home:~# cat /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 Component "conference.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.onion" "muc"
        modules_enabled = { "onions", "muc_mam", "muc_moderation" };
        onions_only = true;
        muc_log_expires_after = "1w"

          <h2><b>XMPP Clearnet Server Setup</b></h2> </br> </br>
 <p>First edit prosody.cfg.lua like so :</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ Datura ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~]
 → vim /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
 [...]
 VirtualHost "nowhere.moe"
 ssl = {
     certificate = "/etc/ssl/nowhere.moe/fullchain.cer";
         key = "/etc/ssl/nowhere.moe/nowhere.moe.key";
 }
 VirtualHost "nowherejezfoltodf4jiyl6r56jnzintap5vyjlia7fkirfsnfizflqd.onion"
 [...]
 </code></pre>
 <p>Then copy the existing acme.sh certificates for nowhere.moe into another non-root directory, otherwise prosody wont be able to read them:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ Datura ] [ /dev/pts/4 ] [/etc/ssl/nowhere.moe]
 → mkdir -p /etc/ssl/nowhere.moe/
 [ Datura ] [ /dev/pts/4 ] [/etc/ssl/nowhere.moe]
 → cp -r /root/.acme.sh/nowhere.moe/* /etc/ssl/nowhere.moe
 [ Datura ] [ /dev/pts/4 ] [/etc/ssl/nowhere.moe]
 → sudo setfacl -R -m u:prosody:rx  /etc/ssl/nowhere.moe/
 [ Datura ] [ /dev/pts/4 ] [/etc/ssl/nowhere.moe]
 → sudo -u prosody cat /etc/ssl/nowhere.moe/nowhere.moe.cer

 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
 </code></pre>
 <p>to copy it once a day to the correct folder, you can do it via cronjob:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ Datura ] [ /dev/pts/7 ] [~]
 → crontab -e
 0 0 * * * cp -r /root/.acme.sh/nowhere.moe/* /etc/ssl/nowhere.moe ; setfacl -R -m u:prosody:rx  /etc/ssl/nowhere.moe ; systemctl restart prosody
 </code></pre>
 <p>Then, don't forget to create the clearnet user:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 [ Datura ] [ /dev/pts/7 ] [~]
 → prosodyctl adduser usertest usertestpwd
 [ Datura ] [ /dev/pts/7 ] [~]
 → prosodyctl passwd  usertest@nowhere.moe
 </code></pre>
 <p>Then you can just connect to the XMPP server over clearnet aswell, but one thing to note is that pidgin is limited when it comes to encrypting chats, so let's use Gajim instead as it comes with OMEMO encryption out of the box:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 user@laptop: apt install gajim -y
 </pre></code>

 <p>Now here, you need to tell the other peer (if they don't have OMEMO enabled) to install a XMPP client like gajim, just like you, to use OMEMO encryption just like you, to have end to end encryption.</p>

          <h2><b>The reason behind your actions </b></h2>
 <p>As we have discussed <a href="../rightthing/index.html">previously</a> you'll work at your best effort if you're convinced that what you're doing is the right thing to do. What the right thing to do may be for you, may be different for other people, but to make it short, shifting the activity in your life from being about you, to being about the world and the greater good, marks growth both in maturity and in fulfillment.</p>
 <img src="1.png" class="imgRz">
 <p>So when you are looking at the 3 main reasons you may act for something greater than yourself, you may find yourself looking for the following three:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 To Purify
 To Percieve
 To Transcend
 </pre></code>
 <p>To get yourself some ideas, just go around the world (physically or digitally) and look what you feel is missing. Over the course of the years on this blog i discovered many, many topics:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 -Hacking: Web, Binary, Physical, Hardware, Binexp, Bruteforcing, Privilege Escalations, MITM, AV evasions, etc.
 -Sysadmin: Decentralisation, Self-hosting, Federation, Privacy front-ends, etc
 -Opsec: Privacy, Anonymity, Deniability, etc
 </pre></code>
 <p>My passion shifted from Hacking to Sysadmin, and from Sysadmin to Opsec over the years. The reasoning behind leaving hacking behind is that finding what developers forgot to take into account when designing their software or their infrastructure it isn't truly fulfilling for me, even though it has given me a very clear and diverse picture of what cybersecurity was. I learned the methodology to follow to start from an IP and arrive at the root user, and after applying it a few dozens of times it's gotten crystal clear and boring. </p>
 <p>Sysadmin wise, i felt like having tangible utility after each tutorial. You learn how to setup something for yourself, at the same time you show everyone how to do it, and in the end you can use the service for your own infrastructure at home. Here it starts to benefit the individuals and it was more fulfilling already. But upon looking at what was missing around the world, i came around the obvious governments attacking people's basic rights of privacy and anonymity. Hence the shift i made to Operational Security topics.</p>
 <p>The 2 main topics i cover currently are Opsec, and the a secondary topic: Productivity. As this is also something i've seen that is missing in people, they all look either bored or are feeling completely lost in their lives. I'm firmly convinced that these 2 are currently essential and are 100% worth diving into.</p>

 				<div class="col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2">
          <h2><b>Listing Topics</b></h2> </br> </br>
 <p>Now that you have the full reasoning behind how to pick new topics, let's list them and categorize them:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 For the world 
 	-Blog 
 		-Project Opsec
 		-Project Productivity 
 	-Fediverse 
 	-Privacy Front-ends
 For yourself
 	-Life
 		-Apartment / House 
 		-Wedding 
 	-School 
 		-School Project A
 		-School Project B
 		-School Project C
 	-Work 
 		-Work Project X
 		-Work Project Y
 		-Work Project Z
 </code></pre>
 <p>For myself i have a few typical topics that literally everyone eventually has in their lives, such as getting an apartment/house, having a successful relationship, going to school and going to work.</p>
 <p>And for the world, i have a few topics, keeping up with my blog, with Opsec as the primary activity, and Productivity as the secondary activity. And i also have a few other side projects like contributing to the fediverse and hosting privacy front-ends.</p>
 <p>When listing topics, <b>rank them from top (most important) to bottom (least important).</b> This is not a reason to spend 100% of your time on your passion. but it is a reason to spend at least 50% of your free time on what truly matters to you, and to reduce the other topics that don't matter to you to their strict minimum.</p>
 <p>For instance, the time i wish to consecrate on my blog would collide with that of keeping a family life, so i made the choice to reduce the personal topics (including family life) to their strict minimum. So that i could spend most of my free time doing what i feel truly matters to me.</p>
 <p>Obviously there are topics that are inevitable such as going to school and to work, you'll anyway have to do those two. But what you're doing for the rest of your time is entirely up to you. Don't start engaging yourself into topics that don't truly matter to you. Life is to short to waste it on that which means nothing to you.</p>

          <h2><b>Labeling and Ordering Topics</b></h2> </br> </br>
 <p>Aside from ranking the importance of each topic (most important at the top, least important at the bottom), you need to label them like so:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 For the world (1)
 	-Blog (11)
 		-Project Opsec(111)
 		-Project Productivity (112)
 	-Fediverse (12)
 	-Privacy Front-ends(13)
 For yourself (2)
 	-Life (21)
 		-Apartment / House (211)
 		-Wedding (212)
 	-School (22)
 		-School Project A (221)
 		-School Project B (221 -> 222)
 		-School Project C (222 -> 223)
 	-Work (23)
 		-Work Project X (231)
 		-Work Project Y (232)
 		-Work Project Z (231 + 232 -> 233)
 </code></pre>
 <p>Labeling them will first help you contextualize the topics and sub topics you have, so you know where they fit:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 For the world (1)
 	-Blog (11)
 		-Project Opsec(111)
 		-Project Productivity (112)
 </code></pre>
 <p>For instance, as the Opsec topic is labeled 111, i know it is in the context of the blog (11) which is in the context of my "for the world" topics (1)</p>
 <p>Then, thanks to labels, you can easily list what topics (and subtopics) depend on one another:</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 For yourself (2)

 		-Work Project X (231)
 		-Work Project Y (232)
 		-Work Project Z (231 + 232 -> 233)
 </code></pre>
 <p>For instance here, the school project C (223) depends on school project B (222), which depends on school project A (221). Therefore i know i need to do the school projects in the correct order: A, then B, then C.</p>
 <p>For the work projects here, we have Project Z (233) which depends on projects X (231) and Y (232). Therefore i know i can do them in 2 different orders: X, Y then Z, or in the other order: Y, X and then Z. </p>
 <p>Accurate planning is crucial especially if you're going to have a ton of topics like i have under Opsec, you need to know which topics depend on which other topics, to be able to know in which order you're going to do them, hence the labeling need.</p>

          <h2><b>Acting out of self interest: Unfulfilling Immaturity</b></h2>
 <p>Let's first look at what everyone does best: acting out of self interest. There are 3 basic reasons behind what most people do out there: </p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 -To Survive
 -To Indulge in Pleasure
 -To Control
 </code></pre>
 <p>And when you're categorizing the topics you have above into those 3 categories, you may realize that the reason behind your actions may remain very rudimentary: </p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 -To Survive:
 	-School
 	-Work
 -To Indulge in Pleasure: (addictions)
 	-Video Games
 	-Socializing
 	-Social Media
 	-Nsfw content
 	-Junk Food
 	-Substance abuse (alcohol / smoking / drugs)
 	-Shopping
 -To Control:
 	-Sports
 	-Voting
 	-Activism
 	-Running an online community
 	-Regulating / Passing Laws / Enforcing laws (for governments)
 </code></pre>
 <p>No shame in acting out of self interest, but you need to realize what it ultimately is about.</p>
 <p>Acting out of survival is the most common thing to do, and it's not just us humans, literally every living being out there is doing it. But there has been an unecessary glorification of survival that has been going around, humanity has been raising the bar for it's own survival for no reason, it's been raised so much that people need to work their entire lives for someone else just to keep their right to live. Surviving is a trivial thing even for the smallest creatures on the planet, don't make such a big fuss about it.</p>
 <p>To indulge in pleasure is the next best thing that people know, and that is what is preventing them from doing anything meaningful their whole lives. One extreme example is opioid addiction, the feeling you get during that first high is so unbelievably pleasant, it feels like arriving in heaven, nothing comes close to it. <b>But to chase that high everyday is going to cost you everything, and you will keep trying to fill that insatiable addiction even when you end up on the streets.</b> Now you may not have chosen that kind of a caliber to feel pleasure, but you may have found some smaller weapons to shoot yourself in the foot with, such as junk food, nsfw content, ligher substance abuses, or just video games. make no mistake you can remain hooked on those your entire life.</p>
 <p>And lastly, you may have chosen to indulge in trying to extend your Control, it can take many forms such as trying to control your body and brain with sports, to trying to control what's around you by doing activism, or running an online community. Or if you are in the governmental / law enforcement sector it could just be making efforts to control the public order. </p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 "We buy things we don’t need, with money we don’t have, to impress people we don’t like.”
 “You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else." 
 "You are not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You’re not your f*cking khakis. You’re the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.”
 -Fight Club, 1999
 </pre></code>
 <p>At some point, you need to ask yourself, what's the point of indulging in all of this ? Sure it makes you feel good for a moment, but are you truly feeling satisfied from it after a while ? Is this truly a fulfilling thing to do for you ? Or is it true that you have mistaken just "feeling good" for being the peak of your life ?</p>
 <p><b>The point is, in the end you are doing all of this to protect what you are currently identified with</b>. While in the short-term you may feel good from it, acting out of self interest will never truly fulfill you. If you are not even aware of what you truly are, Nor are you aware of what you truly want to do, Why are you trying to do things without knowing these two? </p>

          <h2><b>The right thing to do: The Fulfilling Maturity</b></h2> </br> </br>
 <p>If you want to be productive, you must be 100% convinced that you are currently doing the right thing. You will anyway need to reflect on yourself quite a bit to decide on what is the right thing to do. This is the key difference maker in your life. Will you do things because you are forced to ? Will you do things because that's what you like to do ? <b>Or will you do things because you know with absolute certainty, that this is the right thing to do ?</b> I'm sure you can tell which is the most mature, and most fulfilling.</p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 "If you pull that trigger, right, you pull that trigger for a fucking honorable reason. Like an honorable man, not like some fucking civilian that does not understand the wicked way of our world, mate" -Alfie Solomons, Peaky Blinders
 </pre></code>
 <p>Now when you start to dissolve what you initially identified with (see <a href="../sum-nihil/index.html">Sum Nihil</a>) you will naturally start to drop the habits you used to maintain when you were still strongly identified with those things that you have anyway never truly been. What happens here is that you are going to start percieving things <b>beyond your limited sense of self</b>, and when your perception of the self starts to expand, naturally you will start to act for a greater cause, something that is not about you. <b>That's when you start to act for the world, rather than for yourself.</b></p>
 <p>So, here are the reasons that i consider honorable, which all stem out of <b>a broader sense of self</b> (daily practiced as part of my <a href="../nihilism/index.html">Nihilism</a>): </p>
 <pre><code class="nim">
 Honorable reasons:
 -Purifying
 -Percieving
 -Transcending
 </pre></code>
 <p>I am motivated by my will to purify, refine and enhance my abilities using tools and technology, and <b>I want anyone that also shares that same drive, to be able to explore the full scope of what they can do as well.</b> </p>
 <p>I am also motivated by my will to clear out any misconceptions and help everyone perceive technology for what it truly is, regardless of any morality or any political view. My blog aims to bring to light that <b>any usage of any technology is to be justified with a clear reason, to be described, and showcased in great detail</b>. This blog is there for those that truly want to know the solution, not for those that want solace.</p>
 <p>Yes, anyone that tries to mix politics and ideologies into technology, is merely trying to preserve what they are currently identified with. Such people cannot pretend to ever have an objective viewpoint when talking about anything.</p>
 <p>Transcending limitations is what i consider the most honorable way behind any action. <b>Ultimately, this blog aims to showcase that Technology, when used correctly, can allow one to transcend any limitation.</b> Be it to transcend surveillance, centralisation, deanonymization, lack of security. <b>Any ability that we have as Humans</b>, such as Privacy, Decentralisation, Anonymity, Security, Plausible Deniability <b>can be protected and enhanced by using the correct Technology.</b></p>
 <p><u>TLDR:</u> You want to know the most effective technologies that can enhance your life ? It's right there. Just read it up, understand what they are, understand why they are used, understand how they are used, and use them yourself. </p>
 <p>So before you start to act in this lifetime, look at what you are currently doing, and what is the reason behind your actions. From there decide if this is the correct thing for you to do, or if you are destined to do more than that in the long term. </p>
 <p>I have reflected a very long time on what my purpose was, even after having started this blog. Upon enough reflection my passion shifted from hacking to self-hosting, and upon some more reflection it evolved from self-hosting to operational security. I have simply looked at what was lacking in this world, and now i'm convinced that what i'm doing currently will have the widest, positive, and long-lasting impact in the world. When i'll be gone, upon looking back on my life, i will have no regrets whatsoever. That's all that matters.</p>
