  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    👏stop👏using👏cloud👏services🙏thank you

    Or use rclone/cryptomator and encrypt ur files before uploading them ;) (S3Drive is a nice app for that and is very user friendly, although not foss (uses rclone))

    [–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 13 points 23 hours ago (17 children)

    unless it's self-hosted (or hosted by a trustworthy friend who's realky into privacy)

    biggest invasion of privacy so far...

    [–] meekah@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

    I get that reference, but also I think 'history' implies the past and maybe current, not the future

    [–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

    iCloud has an Advanced Data Protection feature, that when enabled, makes one’s personal devices the only place encryption keys are stored. Unless you live in the UK that is.

    [–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

    Or you could encrypt it yourself and not trust a private company's word.

    Anyone remember when a bunch of celebrities had their iCloud information and data leaked?

    Or that Apple has been caught helping the NSA and other alphabet soup government agencies with their keys?

    [–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 15 hours ago

    iCloud didn't leak that data. It was all done via phishing. Apple responded by forcing everyone to use two factor authentication. This was 11 years ago.

    This sort of histrionic nonsense is always pushed by people who use Android.

    [–] jim3692@discuss.online 15 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

    I trust no closed-source encryption mechanism. If I had to use any kind of cloud backup solution, I would first encrypt the files locally with a mechanism that I fully control.

    I have been thinking of doing such thing to keep backups of my home Nextcloud server.

    [–] Gobbel2000@programming.dev 6 points 22 hours ago

    Borgbackup solves this problem very well. It's what I use to make encrypted remote backups of my Nextcloud.

    [–] uawarebrah@sh.itjust.works 0 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

    It’s not though why do people who don’t understand technology post these dumb memes? At least for iCloud it’s E2EE with advanced data protection

    [–] einfach_orangensaft@sh.itjust.works 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

    According to who? Apple? Encrypted with what? The device keys they claim not to hold? E2EE means nothing if they have the keys, "advanced data protection" corporate buzz word.

    [–] uawarebrah@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

    You can choose not to upload the key during setup then it’s user responsibility to keep it secured. This has been battle tested and recently all but confirmed due to the UK. Anything non verifiable to the contrary is just a conspiracy theory and overall hurtful toward privacy conversations.

    You can choose not to upload the key during setup

    Is that so.

    This has been battle tested

    Sure sure

    Anything non verifiable

    Like your claims about having control over the key on a device with closed source hard and software

    Keep your mind sharp and throw away all that junk (harddrives) it's making you lazy I call it local local storage just remember everything it's that easy

    [–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

    CPUs? GPUs? you don't need that, just run programs on your frontal lobe dude

    [–] Njos2SQEZtPVRhH@piefed.social 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

    Frontal lobe is for degenerate modernists, real people rely on their brainstem, and their brainstem only.

    [–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 21 hours ago

    my brainstem tells me it's time for anxiety

    You don't encrypt your backups? Or are you implying þe NSA has backdoors into all encryption?

    [–] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 47 points 1 day ago (6 children)

    No the average person doesn’t encrypt their backups. The average person doesn’t even know they need to do that, because they expect their data to be safe with the companies who say they will protect it.

    The average user dosent active encrypts anything. If you are the person who active makes backups and encrypts them, then you are probably hosting them yourself too. This meme talks more about people uploading there whole phone gallery onto ~~Corporate Cloud~~ NSA servers by default because "its just what the device does".

    [–] TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    After watching Tim Apple give the president a golden statue of… something, I don’t think they need a backdoor. Mr. Apple clearly gave them the keys to the front door.

    [–] einfach_orangensaft@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I came to the conclusion years ago that there is no difference between NSA servers and Apple/Microsoft/Google servers, they are the same thing. Duplicating those amounts of data would be expensive, just give em a office in building and the keys to everything, after all they are forced to comply and lie about it under the patriot act.

    At least there's redundancy! Good luck trying to request recovery of the files though.
