These devs just keep delivering.

Well, I jumped in head first and iRobot is the only integration that broke. I'm sure that will be fixed soon. Anyone else have any snags?

Edit: Nevermind, its working flawlessly now.

Am I the first person to mention the flaming torches and pitchforks about the backup encryption on their forum?

[–] thehatfox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’m surprised they didn’t include an option to disable the backup encryption.

It’s a good feature to have but it’s probably overkill for users who only store backups locally. Encrypting backups increases security but also danger, lose the keys and lose the data. It should be up the user to decide on that tradeoff.

@thehatfox
For cloud backup it is wise to encrypt. Guess they will implement op-out for local backup in a future release.
