Although having your data encrypted everywhere is a good idea in principle, using closed-source tools like LastPass and SpiderOak Hive isn't a good way to do it

Although having your data encrypted everywhere is a good idea in principle, using closed-source tools like LastPass and SpiderOak Hive isn't a good way to do it since you have no way to verify that the data is encrypted well or at all.
- dajbelshaw 13y agoThat's a good point and I'm certainly not saying this is a full tinfoil-hat solution. But's it's better than I had before and an easy change to make for the 99% :-)
- BlackDeath3 13y agoA question I have whenever I see this come up: do people who say this generally do their own personal code audit of the open-source tools they use? How can you trust anybody else to do it for you? Do you compile all of the code on your own? Can you trust your compiler? How far do you go with this line of questioning? It seems to me that for many people, using an open-source tool does more to provide peace-of-mind than actual security assurances.
