@ava When older folks, like parents, complain that all technology sucks, I just solemnly nod.
I feel your pain. I've done stuff like this for my parents and in-laws. It always leaves me scratching my head: "They think normal people can understand all this shit?"

@evacide “#Microsoft says it will provide encryption keys for Windows PC data protected by BitLocker where it has access to them and it's received a valid warrant.”
The word “valid” sure is doing a lot of work there. This is the most corrupt DoJ and FBI in generations. One that ignores court rulings that it disagrees with. So what way is the warrant “valid”? Syntactically? Grammatically? Because if we get any deeper, like morally or ethically, the argument gets harder to make.
This silly statement from #openai about #security drives me crazy. People talk about this all the time as if it means something.
‘files in ChatGPT as a whole are "encrypted by default at rest and in transit"’
What attack does that encryption at rest defeat? What hacker says “darn it! I would have gotten the data if it hadn’t been for that pesky encryption at rest?”
Think it over. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
Physical theft of hard drives/storage. That’s it. Encryption at rest at OpenAI, or any cloud, defeats the same singular attack that it defeats when you encrypt the hard drive on your laptop: if someone physically steals the device, they don’t get the data.
They can sell your data. They can store it (encrypted at rest) on a web site that has a vulnerability or incorrect security, and bad people can download the unencrypted data. They can share it with “partners” who misuse it. Encrypting at rest is NOT an important protection. Literally every other protection is more important.

@david_chisnall Help me out. I named an attack that is thwarted by encryption at rest. Physical theft. I don’t see how it is relevant to multitenancy. Encryption is not keeping one tenant from reading the data of another tenant. What attack does encryption at rest defeat other than physical theft?
They’re calling for #snow here this weekend. So everyone is out buying milk, bread, eggs, toilet paper.
It’s like everyone plans to make french toast. Badly.

Just €6000 to go…
Scratch that: less than €3000 only 12 hours after I posted “least than €6000 to go.”
More than 30 days left to fundraise for the queer gtld .meow. C’mon internet!

#kickstarter #dotmeow #dns #gtld
By my reckoning (i.e., looking at Kickstarter), it looks like @dotmeow just crossed the finish line!
I'm showing €80,211 out of €80,000 required!
paco.meow here I come!
And there's still more than 30 days to go way past the minimum.
