I use ProtonVPN on both Linux and Windows and the difference is night and day… well… more accurately only on Windows because it doesn’t even launch on Linux… this what made me not invest much time on other Proton products ( because I know they’re going to suck on Linux )
hehe, reminded me of this sketch
fair point, but like Edward Snowden once said: “perhaps the fundamental rule of technological progress: if something can be done, it probably will be done, and possibly already has been.” he was talking about surveillance tech and programs.
What it archives though and afaik is intended for is the possibility of easily and quickly “erasing” the disk by just overwriting that encryption key a couple times, I don’t remember if that used a special tool or something but if that is useful to you it probably wouldn’t be hard to find more info on this.
first of, apologies for the late reply… this reminds me of when I ( not so long ago ), used to overwrite random data into HDDs using Eraser, before selling my laptops or switching a company laptop, I hear SSDs are designed to last longer, so that practice ( of writing random data so it’ll erase the sensitive data ), is “kind of” a time waste now… but I guess it’ll make it hard to retrieve that data, unless the attacker has some specialized software and hardware
Samsung is a reasonably trustworthy company, not from US/UK, not Chinese, so if they say they have a clean implementation of this I’d trust them
I wouldn’t trust any company based only on their claims, they need to document ( explain how it works ), develop things in the open ( publish the firmware ), the schematics, even the CAD drawings… like what the folks at System76 and Framework are doing…
That said, it sure sounds cool to have that level of protection, if only Samsung wasn’t a shitty company already ( in my book )
Would be kinda a national security issue for them if it wasn’t seeing how Samsung is everywhere in gov an private sector in Korea.
I’m speculating here, but it wouldn’t be far fetched if they designed a secure encrypted clean hardware for the government with military grade encryption as they like to call it, while the end users receives only enough encryption power to protect against normie threat actors like a spouse…etc companies have these policies where they provide a premium/quality products for businesses and governments but cheap or in many cases poorly made products to end users … like Windows Home
Telegram adds option to let users report content on app two weeks after CEO Pavel Durov’s arrest After almost 2 weeks of CEO Pavel Durov’s arrest, Telegram will start moderating private chats as well.
this all seem confusing, there’s no such thing as “private” chats on Telegram, only secret chats which are E2EE, well even their encrypting is questionable
Web rendering engine written in Rust
you’re so beautiful 💕🏳️⚧️
I’m so excited about the “private space” feature
I heard from people who have tried both Void and Alpine, that Void is much more easier to use as a desktop OS while Alpine is more suited as a server OS…
Thank you, this answer covers it all :D
but if they want to get at the data they’ll just pull the HD and run code-breaking software on it on and entirely different super-computer. TPM won’t help you at all in that case.
You make it sound so easy and doable, but the reality is that without meeting certain conditions such as the existence of the original TPM chip, a brute force attack will render the data irretrievable… And even if I’m wrong in the last part, that would still be a pain in the butt for the attacker… and it’ll buy me time… like you said … belts-and-suspenders
This doesn’t sound to me as if you’re concerned about espionage
Because i don’t have second chances, which is why I wish there’s way to erase everything by entering a key combination… somehow… Idk… like Android has that…
I guess I’ll just add them to my mental list of companies to avoid.
😆 mental ?! I already have my list in my browser bookmarks
VC funded, not exactly a community project, I’m skeptical, and worried about it’s future
It’s my go to messenger, idc about the crypto stuff, it’s just a way to reward volunteers who use their servers for all the mathematical conversions, and I have been thinking of running a node myself, to make the network more decentralized
It has some downsides though, you can’t send larger files than 8mb, and if you lose your recovery phrase, you’re compromised, and you can’t edit messages
I used to tell people to use Signal or Element, but I noticed many can’t even sign up, Session just generates a random ID for you, and voila…
Oh, I never heard of this one before, it certainly meets the criteria, I read the documentation to understand it more
Idk if FDE is enough, what if the attacker can modify the boot code to capture the decryption keys and other stored passwords ? as far as I know this is exactly what secure boot protects against, it checks the validity of the boot code using the TPM chip, if it’s already there, why don’t most distros use it ? instead you’ll see that secure boot is greyed out in the Bios ( which means it’s not supported )
and yes, I did lock down the Bios too, with a different password
Edit: I’ll check EndevourOS documentation, Mint is cool but it doesn’t adobt newer standards or newer kernels ( newer kernels are just much more secure )
Storyboarder ( but I haven’t tried it yet ) it seems geared towards 2D animators

Thank you, it worked on Fedora… and it works way better than the app, the app used to disconnect every now and then, but this method doesn’t, interesting
