      With an udpated set of config files I received from infra@suse.de openvpn now works on sle12.

      I noticed massive changes in SUSE.conf.NUE, SUSE/SUSE-sndirsch.crt and SUSE/SUSE-sndirsch.key since 2008. Also it seems SUSE/SUSE-ca.crt became ta.key (but changed as well). SUSE/SUSETrustRoot.crt is completely new.

        It turned out, that there has been updated files in 2013, so I was testing with obsolete config files.

      So in case you're running into a similar or even idental problem, I suggest asking for updated openvpn config files first. --> infra@suse.de

      What about getting SUSE VPN to work with IPv6 ? It probably needs some server-side fixes too.

      IPv6 support is available with the openvpn package for SLE12 - so it should be possible once the servers are upgraded.

      Received a hint to try "OpenVPN for Android" by Arne Schwabe. It's an opensource client based on the OpenVPN project. It's capable of using a regular openvpn config file as input. And it nearly works from the beginnning with the config file we're using for SUSE. Only thing I needed to comment out were the "" lines and adjust the path of the certification/key files and up/down scripts.

      As a plus I tried to get this running also in the Android emulator, which in the end didn't work out. I wasn't successful in figuring out why. This was on Android 5.0. I also wanted to test with other Android versions, but time was running out.

    Grapesss: a physical Shamir's Secret Sharing application [ESP32-C3 + Mobile] by ecandino

    drawing

    Description

    A couple of years ago I created StegoSecretS, a small cli used to encrypt and split a secret into multiple keys, using the Shamir's Secret Sharing algorithm.

    The idea is to re-implement the project using physical devices. One device alone will be useless, but when close together they can be used to decrypt the secret.

    On a practical side the user encrypts the secret with a mobile application. The same application is used to split the secret, and load the partial keys into different micro-controllers. Another user will be able to decrypt the secret only having at least N devices close together (using the application).

    I'm planning to use a couple of ESP32-C3 I bought, and build a very simple Android mobile application.

    Goals

    • Learn about Rust and micro-controllers (ESP32-C3)
    • Learn about mobile applications (Android and Kotlin)

    Sipario, less mobile phone, more social interactions by baldarn

    Mobile phone usage is addictive. There are adults addicted, but a huge problem is kids addiction We must do something to help avoid problems in this context.

    The solution

    Sipario, an app and community aggregator in order to help with smartphone addiction.

    Description

    The more you use Sipario, the more points you earn. If you use the smartphone, you will lose your points

    Business model

    How is this sustainable?

    I personally don't care, but sutainability of the business is key to possible investments.

    Sipario will allow commercial entities to join the network. The idea is to give commercial activities (eg: restourants, cinemas, theathers, ....) the ability to certify that users are not using the smartphones during the permanence in the place. this will allow then commercial activities to give coupons to users, in order to promote a good behavior and retain the customer

    Tech challenge

    if resources allows it, i would like to create an algorithm that leverage bluetooth for certify people proximity presence in order to avoid attacks from points rouge in the context of the app

    Goals

    Deliver:

    • android app
    • IOs app (some apple developers must join in order to do this)
    • backoffice app
    • BLE algorithm to certify nearby presence

    Create an Android app for Syncthing as part of the Syncthing Tray project by mkittler

    Description

    There's already an app but code/features already in Syncthing Tray could be reused to create a nicer app with additional features like managing ignore patterns more easily. The additional UI code for the app could then in turn be re-used by other parts of Syncthing Tray, e.g. to implement further steps in the wizard as requested by some users. This way one "UI wrapper codebase" could serve GNU/Linux, Windows and Android (and in theory MacOS) at the same time which is kind of neat.

    Goals

    • Learn more about development for Android and development of UIs with Qt Quick
    • Create an experimental app reusing as much existing Syncthing Tray code as possible (already in the works)
    • Build Syncthing as a library also for Android and use it in the app (already done but needs further testing and integration with the rest of the app configuration)
    • Upload an experimental build on GitHub and make it accessible via the Syncthing Tray website, documentation and forum thread
    • Extend the Syncthing API to download single files on demand (instead of having to sync the whole directory or use ignore patterns)

    Resources

    • Android SDK/NDK and emulator
    • Qt Quick
