Am I crazy in thinking that bash is good enough for production?

  • Just make certain the robustness issues of bash do not have security implications. Variable, shell, and path evalutions can have security issues depending on the situation.

  • Does C have a logical type these days? Never use to.

  • Probably readability. Correct typing maybe too. Also better error checking.

  • Actually gmail has one thing correct, Google had been promoting MTA-STS. I am planning on moving to namecheap cPanel email and see if I can enable MTA-STS my domain.

  • I am not sure any modified browser is that private since it is unique. Generally the whole point of a privacy browser is that you can use stock configuration.

  • I use hot mount SATA slots for backup and other media. Not that common on workstations. Sure, common on servers.

  • Are we looking at the end of WordPress the FOSS CMS as we know it? Feels like another enshitification plan.

    • How to auto unlock an encrypted drive on start for a fedora server?

    Jump

  • Yes, that is why I see little value in a TPM for this sort of thing. That is at least for motherboard attached TPMs.

    Jump

  • Keep in mind that you have to decide where your going to get the primary unlock key from and how your going to secure it. Standard way is to supply the primary key for the root partition on boot via the console and then the other keys are stored in the root partition.

    There are other ways to get the primary key. You can get it from a TPM, a network key server, from other media, etc. These are not standard and have to be set up. What is best depends on threat model.

  • Not sure there is. Dimensionality of the trackble elements is very high. All of them have to either be the same or fuzzed across large groups of users.

    • So apparently you can just, type the word eject into bash and it will pop open your disk drive

    Jump

  • Eject is not just for CDs. You still have to eject any hot mount physical media. Sadly the eject command only works in some cases. I do not think it works for hot mount SATA dives for example.

    • What subscription service would you gladly pay for?

    Jump

  • Twit network that produces Security now if they would allow annual payment. I hate monthly payments.

    • I'm looking for web mail providers, what do you recommend?

    Jump

  • Fastmail was never a recommended privacy specific provider if that is the big concern. Does not mean they do not have value.

    Personally livng in the US I prefer a US provider. Geopolitics is one driver. Also US gov is not allowed to spy on their own citizens. If on the other hand they cross the border things are different. Not really many good US choices. EU has a lot of good choices.

    Jump

  • Server no. But hosted domain email is probably what I will do in the next year. Probably at Fastmail or at Namecheap. I have the domain just waiting.

    In a way, I already have a mail server on my VPS, just never installed IMAP. Not what I want for every day though.

    Jump

  • For privacy specifically take a look at https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/ .

    For just a paid provider where you are the customer not the product, consider FastMail or a hosting offering such as NameCheap. By hosting I mean the one that is part of their hosting plans not their email specific offering though that is interesting also but quite expensive.
