Can we study this second pipeline? Is it open so we can understand how it works? Did not find any hints about it in the article, unfortunately.

Thank you very much for sharing your research results!

I really appreciate your work and even more that you took time and risk exposing your findings, I wish more people did this.

Distribution of the content as static html or in any other format is a very tiny aspect of managing content and mostly a solved problem for any CMS nowadays. Focusing on that minimal aspect seems grotesque as there are much bigger challenges in making potentially large amounts of content actually manageable by a potentially very heterogeneous group of content creators with varying skills, responsibilities and relationships.

We need more aggressive laws to prevent privacy destroying platforms. Every person who creates a website or platform that advertises any kind of private communication but does not fully encrypt user data must go to jail. This cancer needs to be stopped.

Seems like it still has no official support for any kind of disk encryption, so you are on your own if you fiddle that in somehow and things may break. Such a beautiful, peaceful world where disk encryption is not needed!

You underestimate the value of this piece of information taken at different times. It can be enough to know in which country a person was yesterday or is today.

Wound be great if you posted the URL to the relevant documentation for this… I guess there must be some docs about these delicate details? Thank you very much!

How many people do the security code review with this process? How do they avoid piling dozens of well hidden holes when you not use a library that is publicly available and seen by thousands of eyes?

Isn’t the best argument for open source code that it has so many people, most companies can not afford such a global quality assurance.

How well tested is this in combination with encryption?

Is the ZFS team handling encryption as a first class priority at all?

ZFS on Linux inherited a lot of fame from ZFS on Solaris, but everyone using it in production should study the issue tracker very well for a realistic impression of the situation.

You probably don’t realise how important encryption is.

It’s still not supported by Proxmox, yes, you can do it yourself somehow but you are alone then and miss features and people report problems with double or triple file system layers.

I do not understand how they have not encryption out of the box, this seems to be a problem.

No, it is not good, please remove it. There are many devs with overlapping experiences.

Bad decision to force people to put a stamp on them just to sign up!

What is the evidence for people being confused about that? Did any scientist some research about this, are there any facts or studies about this issue? Or does just someone think it is an issue?

Can you please give some more details about the pressure methods in mastodon you are writing about, this is very interesting and important.

Is there any systematic study going on about the mechanism of censorship in the fediverse?

Digitone II is available since a few weeks and is an excellent choice for exploring FM!

Proxmox looks great, but unfortunately it doesn’t come with encryption oob and manually applying it comes with feature loss and other problems. ZFS vs encryption is a bad place to live. You of course need encryption for your VMs on the Enterprise.

BodyCulture — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 21:30:44 +0000

Unfortunately until this day Proxmox doesn’t support full disk encryption oob, despite using the word „Enterprise“ in the first paragraph of their website. Yes, you can go your own way and install on an encrypted Debian, but you will miss important features and are on your own. It all comes down to ZFS not treating FDE as a first class citizen.

Very sad state of affairs.

BodyCulture — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 14:26:14 +0000

In the Proxmox forum some people tried this method and do not report big success. Can not recommend for production.

Still the same picture, encryption seems to be not a first class citizen in ZFS land.
