Why isn't it running?

You might need to reboot after running a nixos-rebuild switch, or move/kill any process running on port 53 for this to work.

Custom DNS mapping

You can use blocky to map a domain of your choice to an IP of your choice - refer to the documentation for more information.

Here, I've used two upstream nameservers for blocky to forward valid DNS requests to (since blocky doesn't do any DNS resolution itself - except for custom mapping, detailed later). One is Cloudflare's DNS (1.1.1.1) and the other is Quad9 (9.9.9.9).

As indicated by lines 6 through 11, you need to add lists containing URLs you want to be filtered from your DNS requests.

Making it work everywhere#

The thing is, you'll need to set the IP address of the machine running blocky as a nameserver for all of your workstations - it just won't recieve any requests otherwise, so it won't be doing any adblocking if you don't do this.

Of course, if you've got a router worth keeping around, you should be able to set a network-wide DNS resolver, and you can point this to your blocky-running machine in your router's settings.

However, what if you wanted to have this work everywhere you go, perhaps on a portable laptop? Well, if you're using Tailscale or Headscale you can just can edit the nameservers you use in your VPN's settings and set it to the IP address of the device running blocky. This way, any device on your VPN can utilise blocky and have a functioning DNS-level adblocker no matter where you are.

If you're looking to setup headscale, I've made a blog post about it.

Finishing thoughts#

With the existence of browser extensions doing the same thing adblockers like blocky and Pi-hole can, not everyone is going to need something this sophisticated. I think something like this is better suited to those looking for better coverage in their adblocking, or something that gives more control over DNS requests - for example, to easily setup custom DNS mappings or to restrict access to certain websites.

An overview on hoaxes

2024-01-04

Introduction#

In recent times, hoaxes have become increasingly prevalent as the internet continues to expand and as more people use social media. Misinformation is on a rise - though this is information which isn't really new, the current state of things is horrible, and things really shouldn't be the way they are.

I aim for this to be a brief blog post detailing the effect of hoaxes on society, focusing on why they're so harmful.

What exactly is a hoax?#

Put simply, a hoax is made-up information, be it a story or something else. Hoaxes are created with the intent of spreading false information - for a immense variety of reasons, from jokes and causing embarrassment to provoking politic or social change1. I won't discuss the causes of hoaxes further in this blog post.

The effect of hoaxes#

Hoaxes can cause significant damage to their targets if formulated cleverly. For example:

The stock price of Apple Inc. fell significantly in October 2008 after a hoax story was submitted to CNN's user-generated news site iReport.com claiming that company CEO Steve Jobs had suffered a major heart attack. The source of the story was traced back to 4chan.

With the incredible presence of social media in our lives, spreading harmful misinformation like that above can be as simple as making a few posts - they don't even need to be very convincing! What makes matters worse is how gullible the general population is, even those educated in this sort of thing - this shows just how much influence the internet and it's contents have on us.

I would like to clarify that I'm not suggesting that people should avoid using the internet to gather information - while its reliability is incredibly questionable, the accessibility and openness it provides far beats traditional methods of gathering information (books and such). My suggestion is that people should be much more careful with how they interpret information on the internet, and perform their due diligence in their research into whatever they're aiming to learn; people should make sure that what they're reading is accurate before absorbing any information (here's your tl;dr).

That's about it for this blog post, as it was meant to be a brief way of expressing my thoughts on the matter. Thanks for reading!

    Misconceptions about NFC

    2024-01-19

    Alert

    I made a mistake while writing this blog post - somehow forgetting that security isn't unambiguous. You can actually skim NFC chips from a certain distance (having a limited distance is still an important factor though!), and though I think some of what I said below still applies you're better off ignoring it all.

    There are, of course, a whole range of problems with skimming NFC chips from a distance so my point - don't be so worried - would still stand.

    Either way, I recommend you take this with a grain of salt.

    Introduction#

    NFC (short for Near-Field Communication) is the set of communication protocols which allow for near-field communication between two electronic devices. One of the most prominent uses of this technology are contactless transactions - this includes services like Google and Apple Pay as well as all of your contactless-enabled cards.

    It's been a while since my last blog past, but this one will be brief too - I'm writing here for the sake of clearing up some misconceptions people have about NFC.

    The Misconceptions#

    Inspiration#

    While talking with a friend on a WhatsApp group chat a few days ago about a program I found on my jailbroken iOS device - Aemulo - I was informed of 'subway skimmers'; devices that could supposedly read data from contactless-enabled devices (via NFC) and would be able to emulate them.

    The idea behind the above example was that someone with malicious intent could place such a device in a public location and take their contactless devices for their malicious purposes. When I heard of this, my first thought was: hoax, and I think that it was rightfully so.

    What exactly is wrong with this?#

    Several things. I'm no expert in cybersecurity - everyone's a student in some way, but I was sure that NFC was, as it's name implies, for near-field communication. I'm repeating myself here, but that's kind of the point. Various reliable resources, including Wikipedia, show that NFC has a maximum range of only a few centimetres - which makes sense, no?

    And yet, whatever source my friend had for 'subway skimmers' gave the impression, or otherwise stated, that it would work within a radius of a few feet, which is just impossible. Upon voicing my doubts, I was then told that 'with a powerful enough antenna, it's possible'. Hoaxes sure are convincing, aren't they? Unfortunately, I am not able to find the source of my friend's misinformation.

    See, NFC only works within a few centimetres anyways. Even if it could magically work within a radius of a few feet, you've got to take in the electromagnetic interference that the clothes and wallets people have would bring to any malicious device. The point of electromagnetic interference is especially true over a huge area of a few feet (relatively), where you've got several NFC-enabled devices.

    Where it's actually an issue#

    Of course, that isn't to say there aren't any issues with NFC and malicious readers - I'm just saying that the word getting around is horribly unrealistic. For example, a realistic example of a malicious NFC reader would be one placed on the card slots in cash machines - you get:

    • The short range (< ~20 cm)
    • Only one device
    • Lots of devices to read!

    And so, you've got someone so much more realistic that poses an actual threat!

    Conclusion#

    The information above, which I deem accurate, is there. What I suggest be taken away from this is pretty much the same as what is was for my blog post on hoaxes - do some fact-checking!

    Selecting hardware for a (home) server

    2024-01-31

    Introduction#

    I see a lot of people worryingly mistaken about what a server needs (specifically, a home server). Some think that a bland and incredibly ignorant '20% budget for CPU, 30% for GPU, and the rest for the rest' plan for selecting hardware is good enough (at least, before choosing specific items) - you can't exactly be wrong when choosing hardware, but this is very, very far from right.

    Requirements#

    Server hardware needs to be low-power and resource-efficient - so as not to waste any money unnessarily, obviously. Your budget will strongly impact the specifications you can get your hands on, but I would think that even $200 is enough for a decent home server - depending on what you want to do with it. Keep in mind that you could always repurpose an old laptop or desktop lying around; it's cheap, and you get what may be a surprisingly decent machine.

    Power consumption#

    The difference between low peak and low idle power should be noted in particular. Running costs can get very high if you don't work to moderate power consumption, and probably wouldn't be something you would ignore when it comes to home servers.

    Usage of the server#

    Naturally, how a server will be used will affect pretty much everything about the hardware chosen for it. For example, if you're looking to stream games remotely, you'd go for a (perhaps powerful) dedicated GPU and would likely invest in some high-speed internet solution. As indicated by the above example of the GPU, you need to be very specific with what you choose - do you need a powerful GPU or do you not? After all, one of the last things you would want, ever, is money going to waste on something you don't need, or failing to buy something that meets your expectations.

    Conclusion#

    I only gave two points of interest when selecting a server - looking at the numbers alone, this might seem like hardly anything to consider at all. My reasons for this are:

    • Power comumption is one factor that people often forego thinking about, and an extremely important one at that.
    • Building on top of the previous point, you (probably) aren't stupid. Knowing (albeit at a very basic level) what to look out for should be enough.
    • It would be extremely difficult for me, or anyone else for that matter, to provide a truly complete solution to everyone's needs for a home server.

    Well, that's it. I wish you luck in selecting your hardware.
