Eh?
You can’t build an unpickable back door into a computer system.
You can’t break encryption for only the good guys.
The path to hell is paved with good intentions.
Encryption only works when there is one decryption key. If there are two different keys then it isn’t encrypted bad actors will find a way in
Assuming you live in the USA.
Short answer:: No.
Long answer:: yes but you’re basically living as a criminal, rather— you’d have no bank accounts; no credit cards; and you’d live on cash alone paying no taxes as you’d have to work under the table ( no one messes with the IRS). — or— leave the USA and do the above…
So if you want any kind of “modern life “ put a freeze on all your credit accounts and check them annually
I don’t think so. As providers assign a number to each subscriber, like even an Apple Watch technically has its own number.
So the issue is the “way for anyone to demand my number “
Oh. Perhaps a hotspot; and tether to it. And use WiFi wherever you can otherwise? “They” could demand your number but it couldn’t ring you.
Go on……
Please rant away, this is a safe space.
Everyone is giving solid advice.
It is a trade off as google controls so much.
Tee hee. Not supporting iPhone? Yes it has an app …. I just find that really funny.
Safari and (chromium) browsers. Huh
Should the gold head be in the middle?
I know that in rca cables they are red white then yellow….
Yep. And even I did it in my post. Notice what is missing?
Test your backups!
Agreed… Yes, and… specific to backups all the encryption….
Your production stuff, yes should be as well
Would that be sufficient
No.
3-2-1
Three copies; your working copy, and a cloud copy, and (as an example) on and external HD that you keep at a friend’s house….
On two separate media… so yes cloud can cover that
One off site. So yeah cloud covers that.
Encryption on your off site copies. Yeah I don’t care if they are Linux ISOs or your grandmas recipes. ENCRYPTED
Thanks for coming to my TED talk
🤣
TLDW ???
TLDR:: Bitcoin
Done. Honestly it was one of the first that popped in other than roll your own…
I like Plex Ymmv
We do a quarterly test.
I have the DB guy make a change, I nuke it and ensure I can restore it.
For us. I don’t work for Veeam, while I don’t like their licensing. Veeam is pretty good
Hth
I have 2 “smart” tvs. IMHO I don’t connect them to the internet.
Use a device (, pi-running Plex or kodi?)
Edit. Removed roku
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yeah. It is kinda hard.
Backups. First and foremost.
Now once that is sorted, what if your DB gets corrupted. You test your backups
Learn how to verify and restore
It is a hassle. That’s why there is a constant back and forth between on prem and cloud in the enterprise
You’re self hosting and then sharing the files via tor?
We make it a drinking game…
Whenever a salespeople or a demo uses weasel language. DRINK!
Thank you. I’m totally going to steal “Tech debt reduction “. Ffs
Sigh, kinda… but don’t forget to factor in your backup costs too
The single best thing you can do security wise, is to NOT have any personal data on a web facing server.
Separate the data
Rereading it does look like you are doing the things right; so just audit what is on the public side. - your calendar and tasks- cool
Your photo and docs, do those need to be on there?
If they are on a server that is publicly accessible, please move them to a different location
Otherwise you sound like your doing well
