Otherwise, an S3 bucket can be really cheap if it's only for documents and stuff but that's literally just storage, and it comes down to how much you trust any cloud provider to not OCR or scan your data (I'm sure you could encrypt it before you send it up to S3 to be extra safe.) I have a Synology NAS but eventually I'd like to migrate to something less subject to entshitification. I haven't upgraded to DSM 7 OS yet, I don't remember the exact reason for that but I remember coming to the conclusion that it wasn't worth it, but I'll have to cross that bridge eventually. However, what I do like is the ease of use and all the personal cloud features. I also have it running Jellyfin (Plex replacement) in a docker container but can also run VMs and a bunch of other things. It's a neat box. But on topic, for geographic redundancy I have a digital ocean space (also works with s3 buckets) that I pay for to sync a subset of my backups to every night directly from the NAS and it works well. If you're considering Synology I'd have a look at the roadmap and see if you're alright with the direction they're taking. Might be worth it to just start with FreeNAS or something along those lines. e: Synology is removing USB support from DSM 7, I think there are workarounds for this but that was one of the reasons why I avoided it for the time being. digitalist fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Aug 29, 2023 |

There’s a lot of value beyond the actual data itself, how and when it’s used can provide a lot of context and ultimately value to companies like google who can use it in conjunction with other behavioral data streams to make and sell predictions/ads. I’m sure encryption helps but the object isn’t necessarily the data itself but the metadata engaging with it generates.

Yeah, the value comes when it's combined with other behavioral data streams, what/when/how you upload whatever files to google on its own isn't worth that much. And if you want to expand on this, even more value gets added when you can expand the accumulation of an individual's behavioral data to a community, nation, state, etc. The value is really an emergent property of the totality of information that's being collected. As individuals in the infosec thread we're probably not, as a group, as subject to these dynamics as your average person. If you want to get lost in the weeds, I've come across a few videos that explain well, I usually link this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIXhnWUmMvw but truth be told I'm not a huge fan of the pacing nor her delivery but the idea is explained well enough. I watched about 10 minutes of this one and it seemed better but I haven't seen it in its entirety so hopefully it doesn't suck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s4Y-uZG5zk I did read her book though. Also, I'm not presenting this as gospel, but it's an important idea that more people should probably be familiar with. e: maybe that vid isn't the best, skip to 16-17 minutes to avoid some/most of the fluff. I should probably just stick to sharing the first one, it's slow as the target audience is your average person, but is better organized/more methodical. digitalist fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Aug 30, 2023 |

It’ll be worth a lot one day, you’ve got yourself a real collector’s item

Rust Martialis posted:RHEL's weird (to me) habit of settling on a particular release of a package and patching it for eternity means RHEL 8 apparently used xz-5.2.4 so it's possible they dodged a bullet. My RHEL8 machines have 5.2.4, which is reassuring. Looking forward to whatever else is discovered as a result.
