The OS protections apply to all applications. In addition, the job of agents like gpg-agent or ssh-agent is to protect secret keys while they are cached (like preventing OS writing keys to swaps). You can configure them to erase keys after

That’s true for any password manager. If the database/store is unlocked (so the master password is cached or available in RAM), all passwords can be extracted. You have to lock the password manager when you don’t need it. In fact, with

Nothing specific to pass. It’s just Yubikey setup with GPG; that’s part of the appeal! https://github.com/drduh/YubiKey-Guide This guide covers many adjacent topics; the relevant part is generating the secret key ins

I have heavily used Pass over the years. Here are some of its pros (an update to my comment several years ago): * Your secret key can be stored in Yubikey, handled by a dedicated OpenPGP agent. This allows deriving a strong key from a weak

Is there a more in depth introduction to Linux than the book you cited? It’s long and covers many topics, yet sometimes not in sufficient detail (see boot process).

As several said, Restic does the same for free (bring your own storage). Tarsnap makes no sense, it’s 50-100X more expensive than alternatives. And Restic is good quality software.

See https://www.wundertech.net/opnsense-vs-openwrt/ To be clear, OpenWRT is a great OS. The UI is a bit old fashioned, existing functionality could be exposed more cleanly, and the terminology could be more intuitive.

Dropbox is example of a bad company. Why Dropbox doesn’t offer features adjacent to sync, like: end to end encryption for consumers, backup solutions like backblaze, S3-like buckets, controls like with S3 (like those related to IAM), tools

I come from OPNSense (different use case). Nice well-designed robust UI, even if people say opnsense is flexible and thus complex. Given that, I feel GL-inet users rarely visit the advanced section (Luci).

Couldn’t developers of OpenWRT come up with a better UI? It’s not user friendly at all.

I think ZFS send -w should be default. You enter a flag if you want to send plaintext. Also something like sanoid needs to be built in to ZFS. Find out all newer snapshots at source by zfs list and send the first and last. Nice website bt

I spent some time searching for a good wiki a few months ago. It depends on your use case. The simplest and oldest wiki might be Docuwiki. There is no database, and organization is based on text files in folders. You can make decent wikis w

Why can’t the user enter the encryption passphrase in DSM, which is actually the default in LUKS and allowed in TrueNAS etc? The DSM itself lives in an unencrypted partition or volume. Applications with data in encrypted volumes will be ina

I back up to Synology, but always recover from ZFS. Synology DSM has all kinds of limitations and is slow. Your encryption cannot be like this, you cannot store data in your NVMes, the number of versions must be limited to that, you cannot

Thanks! AOOSTAR 2-bay AMD R7 5825U mini PC seems to check the boxes, for an entry-level storage + virtualization miniPC host. The CPU is similar to AMD R7 5800H in a Beelink SER5 Pro miniPC which runs proxmox very well. It has a cpu with 8C

But a two bay NAS is typically maxed out at 16 GB of RAM, see UGREEN or QNAP. The CPUs are also dog slow for non-NAS tasks, like running VMs and containers. Zimaboards come close. Two sata ports and 1-2 NVMe via PCIe. I heard the board may

Yeah I know, like Beelink 6 NVMe. But NVMe storage is not affordable at high capacities. So, I want two +14 TB HDDs for cold slow storage, and two 4 TB for fast warm storage for VMs, containers, databases, and applications. I also need a lo

Does anyone have recommendation for a mini PC with min 2 sata ports for two 3.5” HDDs, min 2 NVMe for ssd storage, one ssd or eMMC for OS, and 64GB of RAM, with the ability to power up the HDDs from the miniPC (not requiring external power

It’s been my default browser, also at universities I have been to (many use Linux desktop in common PCs). No issues. Those items you mentioned are not really issues so to speak. You could say things like that about anything.

If you want backup, restic is the way to go. Rclone sends your files, it’s not a backup tool. I think it has some kind of versioning, not really a backup feature.

If you use crypt backend of rclone, you don’t need end to end encryption of proton.

Research 50 years ago, sure. Research now is very different. It’s short term, chasing money, trends, citations, prestige, hierarchy, academic power, and applications. Public should fund only the useful part of it.

Does the world need yet another authenticator? While Proton’s existing products need a lot of work.
