Aren’t there smaller ones, like 7B llama2, that could be trained in a powerful computer?

Restic is great. Never failed me. I think it could be included in default in Linux distributions. Perhaps it could be integrated into Deja dup (default , not experimental) and gnome. A GUI for restic in gnome!

But snap is another security layer. Firefox snap is more secure than .deb version from Mozilla. Snap may catch a zero day. The server apps I tried are good. If you don’t want fancy features, nextcloud snap runs like a tank, and self updates

Synchting uses the same protocols to establish the connection, as far as I know. It even has relays. It will sync without VPN even if you are outside home.

Why does Synchting need Tailscale? It establishes a similar connection.

For sending (not syncing) many files, SSH. For one time file transfer, magic wormhole. For continuous sync, Synchting.

It’s unnecessary, at least for SSH, in the first place.

You can put a miniPC somewhere, SSH and run code remotely. Then your laptop matters a lot less.

Is there a meaningful difference between the major browsers in terms of security? It’s hard to say to be honest!

I just installed 4.2, and it was indeed smooth. Impressive improvements, and I like the new interface! I probably test the battery usage and applications, see if I can switch my workflow to Qubes!

Cloud is the best solution in my opinion. Put your data in AWS and Azure. If they go out of business in 40 years, you transfer your data somewhere else.

Two questions on Tor. 1. Browsers have become complex, and the users’ machines could be conceivably compromised through zero days in the browser. How does the security of the Tor browser, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Brave compare with one a

It’s annoying, happens to me. I sometimes VPN to an EC2.

It seems that there are at most 10000 Tor nodes. Are the identity of the node operators known? Do known trusted organizations and individuals own the majority of these nodes? It’s indeed expensive and risky for individuals to run Tor notes.

I installed Qubes OS last year. First, the installation was not smooth. I had to play with the UEFI BIOS settings to get the installer work. It can be picky with respect to hardware. That’s OK, but it’s unclear what works and what doesn’t,

Anyone using Qubes as a daily driver on laptops (for basic work, not gaming, GPU or video related tasks, etc). I worry that there will be issues with updates, and so on.

You can connect 2X10TB to a PI, mini PC or similar at home and access your files over a variety of interfaces (SFTP, nextcloud, syncthing, etc) using a vpn such as Tailscale. Why does one need to pay for expensive storage?

Nobody at this big corporation tested the settings before shipping? It should probably require FaceID and some steps. That said, if you enable E2EE I don’t think it’s cause for much concern. You already use their closed source OS.

Why should someone hardcore on data sovereignty take issue with synology? It’s a device in your possession.

Regardless, it should be easy to verify. He cites a paper and says it’s done in this earlier paper. On the other hand, if his claims are verified, some of these research “discoveries” are simply common sense and would occur to most people w

I wonder if using Qubes-OS will solve some of these security problems. The architecture is pretty good, and I’m surprised it has not been already adopted by OS vendors. But on the other hand, there is huge amount of code installed, and with

No, only public key has to be synced, for that to be possible :) Think of ssh keys. Only your public key has to be transferred to the server for you to login.

by aborsy 3y ago
I’m not an expert in these protocols, but it’s the public key that is synced. There is no need for the private key leaving the device, in “asymmetric authentication”. Syncing the private key is like “symmetric authentication”, where the has

This space is confusing. FIDO2, U2F, UAF, CTAP, WebAuth, Passkey, 2FA, … The names frequently change. Aren’t all of them just public key authentication (with the private key in a mini-HSM, and public key either calculated in real-time, or s

Google and Dropbox store huge amounts of data. The data loss incidents are rare, and don’t change the fact that cloud storage is 99.999… reliable, far more than local storage.

It better be quantum safe at this point. Otherwise, another update would be needed soon.

How does it play with versioning? Like, if I edit a file gradually, there are going to be ever growing number of frequent versions. There is no deduplication in the encrypted node (I’m not sure if there is deduplication between versions in
