Draft Signed Order with airSlate SignNow

Draft signed order

hey guys i'm son i'm a privacy and a security researcher and you're watching behind the scenes uh it's been quite a while i haven't posted a video in like almost a month and um yeah i've been super busy i've been actually busy working on this project on the privacy guides and i wanted to share what i've been up to now before i go ahead and do that for those of you who are new to the channels to the channel behind the scenes is where i give you guys some context on the process of creating the privacy guides it's a place for me to talk to you guys about uh you know everything that goes on behind the scenes so if you're not into that you can skip this episode all behind the scene episodes are clearly labeled with a little pink outline um okay so yeah no videos in over a month holy moly uh that vpn's uh guy that i promised about a month ago has been keeping me awake at night i put in so much time actually a ridiculous amount of time into that episode and it is ready all of the research is done uh i am so so so excited to share that with you guys but in order to get to that piece of content there was so much fundamental stuff that i needed to address for me to feel comfortable sharing that with you um first things first where are we going to self-host that vpn which hosting providers are good i mean obviously we're not going to host that on amazon aws if we care about privacy so that by itself entailed a huge amount of research and then i found a few providers two of which i'm going to be discussing probably not today but in the next episode those two providers are so incredibly different from a benchmarking perspective one of them is amazing for network performance but is shitty for disk io performance and the other is amazing for cpu memory and disk i o but is not so great for networking and to make things even more complicated most providers that i found did not support ipv6 and as i discussed in the episode on ipv6 it's quite problematic from a privacy perspective and vpns that do not run on dual stack infrastructure uh meaning that the vpn server is dual stacked that can you know lead to leakage uh ipv6 leaks on devices not all devices are victim to that i actually uh suggested ways to disable ipv6 on mac os and on ios but that only works on ios for um cellular data sorry so okay huge amounts of research i mean hundreds of hours of research have you know been done since i last talked to you guys here so i'm very very happy to uh share this with you shortly now before moving along um i've been up to a few other things uh first things first um yeah so actually before i go ahead and discuss this um i was really hoping that peer review was going to be easier i thought that i would be able to reach out to a few people that i find inspiring on server fault or other you know boards and i did get positive feedback but most people did not engage in thorough peer review the way i wished they would that means that i had to do all of the heavy lifting to make sure that what i'm about to publish is good and in order to facilitate all of that peer review process i uh changed a few things on the cms that i want to share with you guys so let's jump ahead here so one of the things that i changed is console code blocks so when i go about writing those guides you know usually you have those commands that you essentially copy paste in a console and you just run them and that's great but what if the it's an interactive command you know what if that command asks you guys for you know different tweaks and that's exactly what happened here in the t in the case of using gnupg to create a private and public key you know and all of this stuff here used to be black or not present at all and i wanted you guys to feel comfortable when you ran those commands i wanted you guys to see what the output looks like especially when we have an interactive thing going on so this is what's happening here so you can actually see all of the things that i'm entering when that command is running and you can see this you could see it probably on the video but now you can actually see it in the reference material so that's a big leap forward now another thing that i changed is in page anchors so some of the guides can be long the one on strong swan is very long now i did put in an enormous amount of work for it to be kind of seamless it's easy to flow through it i think that i can do it in about five minutes maybe 10 but there are over 30 steps if my memory is correct so if you guys have a problem with one of those steps and you need some help it's hard to say well okay it's step 33 and then the person has to kind of like go into in the guide and scroll all the way down find where you know 33 is so i made it much easier now when you mouse over any heading okay you can see a little things gonna appear here a little link and so let's say we have a problem with step two if we click here it will bring focus to step number two and the whole url here has changed not sure why this stuff is showing up here i have to fix that um so yeah so the step actually appears here and you can share those links with me or others to you know bring someone directly into a specific step so that's super exciting um now one last thing i did here is in stories such as the stories that's that's what's cool and guides such as the ipv6 one i was uploading pictures now when i was shooting those pictures on my computer uh you know using screenshots essentially sometimes the screenshot had a lot of white and it was on a white background and it made it kind of hard to figure out what the window was what you know the background here on the website is so i actually found a really nice way of having little drop shadows that make it really beautiful and contextualized and if you click on it as usual the picture grows so yeah i'm super excited about those changes i think those changes are going to make things beautiful and much more effortless for people to peer review now to that effect i don't want to publish material that is not uh robust that is not well researched sometimes i need help and all of this by the way is available on github as you guys know by now i guess but github doesn't format things in a nice way and i wanted people to be able to peer review more polished uh you know content such as what you're seeing here so to that effect um i created something called draft so in the github repository there is a new branch for the privacy guides called draft and i published another version of the website called draft.sunnitsun.com and that version is synchronized on the draft branch that means that i can publish stuff here and as you can see it says content in review and this really you know vibrant color so people will know that this is being peer reviewed it's not meant for publication it's not meant to be to run this in production but it's a great way for me to be able to share you know a guide such as the strong strong guide that i'm about to publish here on youtube but yeah so this is super exciting um okay so uh yeah another change um i was you know writing the these guides and publishing them to github and uh now that we're starting to you know get a little deeper into subject matters such as self-hosting vpns that's something that may be sensitive i wanted you guys to be able to know that i wrote that stuff you know that i wrote a specific commit to the git repository so that you guys know that someone is not you know attempting some kind of a man-in-the-middle attack on this content now this is a little early to talk about stuff like this but as more and more of you start following those guides i wouldn't want someone to be able to temper with them so to that effect on the privacy guides repository all of the recent commits are now signed using my pgp public and private key meaning you guys can know that i actually wrote that content i submitted that commit to the repository okay um now let me see what else i have for you guys today yes um yeah so we're almost uh i'm almost about to wrap up this behind the scenes episode i wanted to also mention that we're almost 2 000 and that is so exciting so the channel has grown significantly a lot of you guys are writing uh you know comments and stuff like this on youtube i guess some of you are sharing this content outside of youtube i did see a few things on my radar i know some of you tagged me on reddit so that's super exciting the more people care about privacy the better in my opinion so i am so very happy that we're developing this project together um yeah so we're going to be celebrating 2 000 subscribers soon uh and i'll you know probably create a video for that but before we get there um probably tomorrow i'm gonna be publishing an episode on how to benchmark servers uh to know as i mentioned earlier if they're good for networking if they're good for you know database users stuff like this i know these episodes are a little uh a little nerdier so for those of you who are not into running your own servers and stuff like this be patient i have some great content coming i want to create content on how to do backups and backups is a great it's a great subject and doing incremental backups encrypting them making sure that you don't lose access to those files that you love that's something that we'll be discussing and i have a whole bunch of other subjects i am so excited that i'm now out of the rabbit hole on all of this strong swan stuff so yeah a lot coming uh so yeah next up is going to be an episode on how to benchmark servers and after that an episode on um strong's one how to self-host our own strong strong servers the reason why i was hesitating here is i might have another episode somewhere in between those to discuss how can we find you know a privacy conscious hosting provider and what should we be looking for i think that might be interesting to you guys yes super excited i'll see you soon bye
