"""

+++
## Introduction
In Linux, processes cannot bind to privileged ports (<=1024) unless they are
running as root. I learned about this when I was trying to add SSH cloning to my
[Gitea](https://gitea.io) instance. This can be bypassed by giving
`CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE` capabilities to either the systemd service, or the
executable itself.
## Giving `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE` capabilities
### Using systemd (preferred)
The best way is to tell systemd to give `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE`
capabilities to the service. In fact, the Gitea systemd service has two
lines[^1] that are commented out:
```systemd
CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
```
Uncommenting these two lines was all I had to do for Gitea.
### Using `setcap`
You can add `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE` to the executable directly using `setcap`,
allowing it to bind to any port. Run the following command[^2]:
```bash
setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /path/to/program
```
Note that this means that anyone with permission to run this program will be
able to run it and bind to any privileged ports.
Other caveats[^2]:
> 1. You will need at least a 2.6.24 kernel
> 2. This won't work if your file is a script. (ie, uses a #! line to launch an
> interpreter). In this case, as far I as understand, you'd have to apply the
> capability to the interpreter executable itself, which of course is a
> security nightmare, since any program using that interpreter will have the
> capability. I wasn't able to find any clean, easy way to work around this
> problem.
> 3. Linux will disable LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH on any program that has elevated
> privileges like setcap or suid. So if your program uses its own .../lib/,
> you might have to look into another option like port forwarding.

The official cross-distribution build of checkra1n only contains a CLI and TUI. However, the version available in the [checkra1n APT repository](https://checkra.in/linux) also contains a GTK-based GUI which can be accessed using the `--gui` flag, or the included `checkra1n.desktop` file.

First, download the package, availabe at `https://assets.checkra.in/debian/checkra1n\_VERSION\_amd64.deb` (as of writing, `VERSION` is currently `0.12.2`).

## Isso vs Commento
I know it's only been six days since I added Isso, but I decided to switch to a
better comment system. Isso is meant to be simple, which means that it's missing
a lot of features. Commento has a lot of features such as sticky (pinned)
comments, spam detection, thread locking, email notifications (I couldn't get
this working on Isso), and a nicer design. I also was able to write some
[custom CSS rules][1] which make it look alright on my blog's theme. It also
supports SSO, so I might add support for signing up with GitHub, and possibly
GitLab.
## Summary of the [first post]({{< ref "/posts/new-comment-system" >}})
If you haven't read the
[New Comment System]({{< ref "/posts/new-comment-system" >}}) post, here's the
most important information. There's a comment section at the bottom of each post
where you can view and post comments. You can post anonymously, or create an
account so you can show your username and get email notifications. You can also
upvote, downvote, and reply to other comments.

## About
I set up a comment system named [Isso](https://posativ.org/isso/) on my blog
today. At the bottom of each blog post, there's a comment section. You don't
need to sign up with an account or sign in with Google, Facebook, none of that
junk. You can comment anonymously, or provide any of the following three fields:
name, email address, and website, which will be shown to other people viewing
your comment. I'm going off of the assumption that no one cares/is malicious
enough to spam my comment sections.
## Known Issues
### Editing and deleting not working
You're supposed to be able to edit and delete comments up to 15 minutes after
posting them. As of now, that doesn't seem to be working; the request just
returns 403 (forbidden).
### White text on white background when previewing comment
This is a CSS related issue. This was also happening when editing/writing a
comment, but I edited it so the edit box has black text. I think a better fix is
to make the new comment form have a dark background, but I'll deal with that
later.
