| DocScrutinizer05 | >>[2018-10-21 23:58:14] <Oksana> Screen on, no backlight: N900's display consumes +80mA http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Power_Consumption Does that include power consumption of touchscreen, or LCD screen only?<< good question, prolly touchscreen aka digitizer been not considered. Then OTOH it doesn't consume any noticeable energy afaik | 05:09 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | particularly R-TS doesn't consume any power in theory as long as no touch event | 05:10 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | anyway I don't get how the power consumption is particularly relevant for evaluation if >>could it be replaced by an LCD projector with 85mW average power consumption<< | 05:12 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | nota bene, this is only the display part (light modulation) of a projector. You need the "backlight" too, for that projector probably a RGB laser source | 05:13 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | Oksana: ^^^ | 05:14 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | regarding VPN it's a system immanent problem that they get abused for spamming and thus get blacklisted. | 05:16 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | you can remove the VPN egress server's IP addr from BL every day and it gets re-added a few hours later | 05:17 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | the problem remains maemo who block VPN IPs (among others) for mere *reading* of website, which is a stupid thing to do regarding the purpose of those blacklists which is stop SPAM *getting posted* | 05:18 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | so the correct thing would be to block log-in of blacklisted IPs. I.E. test the IP of user only on the login page | 05:20 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | make the "keep me logged in" cookie depend on IP and re-evaluate IP when it changes. Delete session cookie when the new IP is on blacklist, otherwise rewrite the cookie to accept the new IP and have user authenticated/logged-in so they can post | 05:22 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | for READING maemo site, no blacklist whatsoever should block any user from doing so | 05:23 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | sparre: Oksana: @council: ^^^ | 05:25 |
| sparre | DocScrutinizer05: Agreed. | 05:26 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | aiui the complication in maemo infra is: the RBL filtering function is done on our FireWalls that are not linked to the (talk|wiki|whatever) services servers, so first approach the firewall has no idea if a user is trying to log in or just wants to read tmo, wiki ... | 05:30 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | the infra needs to learn: services (talk.m.o) check RBLs locally during login. If some sort of attack is detected by a service server, the service server could send a "please protect me from this!" request to the FW, setting the particular connection on a local ephemeral blacklist on firewall, much like fail2ban does | 05:35 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | actually fail2ban comes with pretty much all we need, just needs to get distributed over service and firewall servers | 05:37 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | really no big thing. No idea however what it takes to teach the forum software to run the RBL check on login | 05:38 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | aaah, the firewall of course needs to know if an inbound packet tries to write... | 05:45 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | prolly nothing DPI can't do, if we hadn't HTTPS encryption that forbids the firewall to know what payload a packet has. So it remains a duty of the service server's (forum...) software to check RBL vs IP on *every* write action. Still not as much trouble as it may sound, since the software already needs to do other checks in every single case that matters here: user's state of log-in | 05:51 |
