  • Wow, thats one kind of a project. I’m impressed. Though it doesn’t really fit my problem. It has to be something webbased, where everyone of us can use it without an app, without seeing each others information. From the github page it looks like a local tool. And also focused trading similar items. The presents in our secret santa are highly individualized, so randomly trading does not make much sense. And if the interface is too clunky, my non-tech siblings will just reject using it. I want to keep them from deciding for some free privacy nightmare app.

    But I thank you for the suggestion. Its an interesting project


  • Security noob here. Would it be sufficient (in addition to only local authorized access) to directly put the file in an unprivileged container, watching its log output? And of course limiting resource use and execution time of the container (don’t know if common container tools like docker or podman have a way to limit resources out of the box)

    So lets say a simple interface for the file upload behind an authentication service, based on lets say python cgi, ramping up an unprivileged nonroot docker container, killing the container after a fixed time (a few seconds).








  • Honest question: Is there a good comprehensive easy to follow source for reading/listening/watching up on the theory?

    At some point some user linked to a long reading list, where I stopped frustrated after 2 hours of reading and still being non the wiser. In all that time there must be some resource, that is more engaging and especially talking about modern life, not the life in the times of Marx (yeah, I know that the fundamental principles are the same). I’m also ok with multiple hour youtube videos, as long as there are skillfully made and engaging.
