2.5 years ago, I migrated all my services hosted on a cloud provider to a homeserver.

This homeserver is also my workstation/gaming/dev/everything. I use QubesOS (an operating system based on the Xen hypervisor), and wrote some document about it: https://neowutran.ovh/qubes/articles/homeserver.pdf

Basically, I am hosting:

  • DNS
  • Matrix
  • Email
  • Jitsi
  • Mumble
  • Peertube
  • Screego
  • Nextcloud
  • Searxng
  • Tor
  • Wireguard VPN
  • Copy of wikipedia
  • Personal website And others.

And for TLS, to have better security, and to avoid relying on third party company/providers, I am using DANE.

The “dane_without_root” is one of my projects and I am welcoming review / feedback on it

( I also posted about it on the QubesOS forum: https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/highlighting-neowutrans-technical-doc-about-qubes )

    You missed my point

    It doesn’t work for the user, so it doesn’t work.

    Its about equivalent to the user as installing your own cert.

      the repo readme writes about this. Firefox does not yet support DANE, it needs a patch, included in the repo.

        Which means I don’t care because nobody except myself will be able to use it.

        I’d care a lot if Firefox and Chrome supported it OOTB

              If you’re just pushing for WebPKI without “thinking too hard” about perpretrating a security system with a large number of failure points, then you’re following that windows method.

              SSL/TLS have very specific benefits. None of which matter that much for reading random articles on the web. So I don’t see the problem with this website doing their own thing to bring attention to the potential issues of the current system.

                it is a huge benefit if a man in the middle cannot run scripts on your computer.

                there is no problem with that. this could work, with the required patch to firefox, also in the repo.

                  IMO when reading random articles on the internet you already have to worry about untrusted scripts. I just use NoScript, and if the website requires Javascript I move on
