Encrypted. Was a whole thing to recover the keys from a damaged board, only to find old videos and photos from previous dives.

Apparently they were streaming the video to the inside of the sub, so it wasn’t saved to that card.

🤣

Care to elaborate?

So what is the case for most users? Are normal android phones getting compromised (in a way true 2FA would help) often enough it is an issue? I honestly haven’t seen any statistic regarding this and anecdotally I don’t know anyone whose internet banking was compromised. Whether on phone or desktop.

Yeah, I was the one mentioning QubesOS. Since I tried it and didn’t last a week because of how bad the user experience was. I am not a CIA spy, I am looking for a balance of security and usability and android is amazing at that. Sure, some things could be more secure. Sure, I can’t do some things because GrapheneOS can’t be rooted. But the balance is excellent. At least for me.

Well, yes. But then again, I would trust my GrapheneOS phone not getting compromised over 3 linux devices. MFA is not some ultimate solutions and it is a pain to use.

The security I am talking about has nothing to do with being locked down. Linux could easily implement the same, but it probably never will, because it requires a bit of central management and vision. And Linux really struggles with that.

I am not saying android is perfect, but too granular is also bad. I have better things to do then tweaking SELinux policies.

Not for me, no. I love the sandboxing and permissions of android (GrapheneOS). Honestly, desktop OSs should learn from it. Also, android is a lot easier to use, especially on small form factor devices.

Your phone has likely much better security for your banking apps than your computer, unless you run really niche setup like QubesOS.

Again, yes and no. While you are right pretty much every larger website will use a cache server in some way (at least in form of a CDN), cache servers really don’t help you in any way for things like a customer canceling their subscription, which is what this post is about. That is all back-end work. Yes, those are probably those app specifics you mention but glossing over them misses the point why solving this is not as easy as enabling auto-scaleing.

That entirely depends on your application. What you described is one possible approach, that will only work in specific circumstances.

I am not sure what you are trying to say?

If your page is just static, e.g. no login, no interaction, everyone always sees the same thing then it scales easily. Scaling means you copy the site to more servers. Now imagine a user adds a comment. Now you need to add the comment to every copy of your site, so that everyone sees it regardless of which server they use. So a comment creates more work the more servers you use. And this is where scaling becomes a complex science, that you need to manually prepare for as a software developer. You need to figure out what data will be stored where and accessed how.

Sure, for most locks, that is true. But it is a lot more conspicuous. If someone sees you picking a lock, they may report you. If they see you using a key, they will likely think nothing of it.

Also, lock picking usually leaves behind evidence. Using a key doesn’t. That may or may not be relevant, e.g. for insurance.

PSA: Don’t ever upload photos of your keys. A key is just a PIN, where the height of each tooth is a digit of the PIN. So if you share a photo of your key, you are sharing the PIN and anyone can create a copy of your key.

Yeah, I thought it actually may be a rare Reddit W for 2 minutes, until I saw reddit admins will grant exceptions. So likely, mods that push reddits agendas will stay while the uncooperative ones will have to go.

I had a feeling playing the victim and name calling was coming next after your last message.

But just in case anyone arguing in good faith needs it spelled out: Not every thing has to cater to every audience. Lemmy, at least for me, is primarily for sharing information, whether news, opinions or just memes. On such a site, I believe it is more important to avoid echo chambers and misinformation. So it requires a moderator or an admin to ban people. It’s not as if Lemmy is an unmoderated hellscape, it just leans more towards free speech over creating perfectly safe spaces than you may like. Avoiding echo chambers and misinformation benefits all users, including minorities. Therefore, every site hast to find a balance for it’s use-case. I would expect many people, whether minorities or otherwise, can handle occasional mean words or words they disagree with on their screens. But it is also alright if you are more sensitive or not in a good place psychologically and don’t want to deal with this. There are other places on the internet you can go, that do have the kind of blocking you want. Some places will lean towards free speech, some towards heavy moderation. That’s the great thing about the internet, not every place has to be the same.

Then go to a private platform. This is a platform for public discourse, not private communities.

PS: You could even make a community on lemmy and ban people as it’s moderator. Although a different platform may still be a better fit.

If you care what they are saying, you shouldn’t block them. If you don’t care, you shouldn’t care they are commenting on you.

I don’t want other people being able to hide criticism of their posts/comments they don’t like from me. Allowing you to completely block engagement with your posts would just strengthen echo chambers and bolster misinformation IMO.
