“If they’re a real business” - this is the sort of dribble HN is reduced to? A real business can’t run on a VPS?

“If they’re a real business” - this is the sort of dribble HN is reduced to? A real business can’t run on a VPS?
- hal009 8y agoI believe the point here is that they claim that they care about security, while their Icelandic VPS hosting provider can just dump the host server memory, which would include the encryption keys.
- philliphaydon 8y agoThen can’t we say that? “If they truly cared about security they wouldn’t use a VPS”. It just rubs me the wrong way the way it’s worded.
- mirimir 8y agoYes, I should have been clearer. Sorry.
- harianus 8y agoThis is a good point. We are moving to a dedicated server to resolve this issue.
- mirimir 8y agoNice :) You probably know this, but anyway. If you're setting up FDE with dropbear on a remote server, it's best to build the installer on the machine.
- mirimir 8y agoIt's not that a "real business" that talks about FDE, and has moved to Iceland for better security, can't run on hosted VPS. But they're being disingenuous if they do so. But what I mainly meant is that a "real business" can afford to build secure servers, ship them to Iceland, and send trusted staff to set up and configure them.
- philliphaydon 8y agoOk cool. Now I understand very clearly. Thank you.
