I’m curious how do pixel phones and pixelbooks running ChromeOS compare with iPhone and MacBooks running macOS in terms of security? I know in terms of privacy, Google is worse due to built in telemetry (and cloud based chromeos). If there

There is paperkey that generates far fewer and better human readable characters (it removes metadata publicly known). Have you tested that the OCR software can read a scanned version of that PGP public key?

People compare Canada with US. But don’t forget the situation is worse in Europe, and many parts of the world (low salaries, high taxes, expensive housing, inflation and unemployment, bureaucracy and inefficiency, crime and safety problems,

Borg is better than Time Machine, for sure. Not tied to any company either.

OPNSense runs very well on their boxes. You can even have it with Core boot. I think they should upgrade their NICs to 2.5G and 10G though. 1G is no longer future proof.

It’s a superb tool with Yubikey, but has a bad name. Can’t be easily googled.

No experience, but the company’s hiring practices seem a scam to some extent. They pay little, usually fooling inexperienced people, like, as the commenter above said, that they are sending people to space, and stuff like that. Funny, you o

I mean in terms of the compromised software distribution system by governments or similar. There are products like encrypted phones. They are advertised as secure locked down devices designed for people who have high security requirements.

How trustworthy is QubesOS?

It’s worth noting that people don’t pay for a lot of online services, such as access to information in platforms such as reddit. Advertisement is also loathed by public. It’s a tough business, and there isn’t all that much to trickle down.

If the vault is open, a script could read and save all passwords. Export is a user convenience feature. This is a vulnerability that requires the plaintext, hence a bit of a joke! Or am I missing something? (I didn’t read past the initial p

AppArmor policies can be few hundred lines. Do people write these from scratch, or there is a repository for good policies? Couldn’t package managers install and enforce such policies?

Basically, a distribution that implements a system similar to Android (which is based on the Linux kernel) for desktop or MacOS. It will take some flexibility from the user, and might annoy the user with permission approvals, but that’s wha

Linux security is surprisingly weak, and a mess. Are users expected to search for hardening guides, spend time learn all these pieces and implement them securely? Even the system administrators may not know tools such as SeLinux, let alone

Mesh VPN is one way. The VPS node will be the coordination server. Tor is another, onion layers of tunnels. But maybe there is an easy networking solution, like creating a route table on VPS implementing a relay or STUN server , that says t

I’m curious, if we have a hub and spoke vpn, could we have peer to peer end to end encryption, with the exchange between them facilitated by an untrusted hub on a cloud instance? So, the phone wants to connect to a media server at home. In

But there is also the transfer of trust to the VPS provider, no? The cloud provider may have a less favorable privacy policy.

I guess your response indicates that the DNS records are not logged. I thought some metadata is logged, at least for security or to fight abuse, but probably for more reasons. But I’m not sure.

This VPN setup is great to use in public WiFi. But be aware that the IP address may not be private in cloud instances. Is it known to what extent the traffic is logged on AWS EC2 or Lightsail?

Social Security number, passport number, birth certificate data, drivers license , tax information, etc. Some numbers need to be verified every few years.

Is there a reputable identity provider that would verify a passport, SSN or similar, preferably in person, and link that to an OpenPGP key with metadata same as in the ID? Similar to this service, but linking not just the name, but more sec

Well, I said, if you store small data. For large data, sure, prohibitively expensive! I don’t think many other solutions are equally fast and secure. AWS operation is pretty transparent, documented, audited and used by governments. You can

S3 is probably the highest quality. It’s enterprise grade : fast, secure with a lot of tiers and controls. If you recover only small data, it’s also not expensive. The only problem is if you recover large data. That would be a major proble

The tech has the potential to displace workers, or cause unemployment. However, unemployment will never happen, if you know humans. There is going to be a lot of outrage, and regulators will regulate it like drugs!

Well, 15k internationally. As soon as it enters France’s revenue agency, it will be slashed to like 2.45k/m. Also, if you deviate from income norms by 10%, you’re considered to be rich and will be disliked. You will lose in other ways
