How do you store your data/backups? Anonymous 07/20/2017 (Thu) 23:19:37 [Preview] No. 10460 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
Hie, I'm trying to find a good solution to never get out of storage on my HDDs, for my backups and my regular use.
What is your data storage solution?
I want, if possible, a solution that is the most freedom compliant.
There is the usb HDDs, 3/4 plugged on a rasp.
There is the NAS with 3.5' HDDs in it.
Maybe a cheap 20$ computer with the HDDs in it with linux installed...

What should be the best? What HDD to buy (there are these backdoors, even though I don't think I can find any without)

Thanks you!

Get MDiscs for long term storage and DVDs for your monthly back ups.

Use an encrypted tarball for your / dir. When you want to restore your files, navigate to it/copy it over and extract the tarball using the below commands. In this scenario however, if you cannot boot into your OS for whatever reason, I recommend having your private key and public key backed up on a DVD or MDisc. Then it's only a matter of reimporting and trusting your keys and running the commands like usual. Here's an idea.


# on your pc in a backup_this_computer.sh script or whatever:
# TO BACKUP FILE ON REMOTE SERVER
timestamp=$(date +%m%d%y); #MMDDYY
hostn="YOUR_COMPUTERS_HOST_NAME";
tar -cjv / --one-file-system | gpg -e -r your@emailforthekey | ssh someuser@someserver "( cat > /somebackupdirectorysomewhere/hostnhostn_$timestamp.backup )";

# The above script will just pipe over the zipped and encrypted bytes over the network to a server and puke it out into a file there.

# TO BACKUP LOCALLY TO A FILE SIMPLY REMOVE THE | ssh... part.
# AND REDIRECT OUTPUT TO A FILE SOMEWHERE.

# When you want to restore your backup...

If you own one of these... well, lol.

https://theintercept.com/2019/01/10/amazon-ring-security-camera/

Apparently the maker thought that adding encryption would make the company less valuable. Annnd of course it's outsourced. Ring customer's video from inside and outside of their homes goes to some Ukrainian company. Maybe they're padding their revenue by running some amateur Ring porn sites on the side.

Amazon owns Ring, and there's a great editorial out that wrecks them for not putting their 2nd HQ in NYC. The cat is out of the bag, and tech companies care about nothing but themselves, just like any other business.

Honestly, at this point there's a whole market segment of brainless cattle that eats this shit up. This isn't for people like us. If I was the company I'd do the exact same. If people are giving their data away, might as well take it.

Do you guys think though that there's a market for DIY security camera kits? With cheap single board computers and cameras these days, you could easily make an almost plug-and-play package that uses fully open source software to record video, process, even do fancy image recognition, put it on your own machine or optionally provide a passworded web UI that only you have access to. You could actually make it cheaper than these shitty electronic doorbells. The only issue is that security wise, you should store the video off-site so that burglars can't steal it, which is pretty trivial but you can offer your own VPS solution and zero-configuration setup script for the retards.


Anonymous 04/18/2019 (Thu) 04:16:38 [Preview] No.13282 del
Some video codec characteristics are such that it wouldn't be too hard to perform some limited encryption (that is, not having to fully encrypt every bit in the whole video) to render the video useless if stolen, but still allow for passworded viewing or fast export.

Marketing will probably be harder than product development. There are so many of these things now. A DIY niche might be easier to target than something in a glossy retail box though.



Good, little known software Anonymous 03/27/2019 (Wed) 10:33:51 [Preview] No. 13242 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
ITT: recommend nice, little known software.
My picks would be minimodem and mgod.
Minimodem is a little program that can convert text to/from an audio representation (think dialup tones). Also paired with a mic and speakers, it makes for a pretty retarded way to exchange files wirelessly.
http://www.whence.com/minimodem/
mgod is a tiny gopher server with all the features you could need (executables, automatic file listings, separate http proxy, etc). Written in pure C, I'm yet to find a thing that doesn't compile it.

That Minimodem is kind of interesting. Reminds me of the news about some bot/malware using a similar technique to communicate, but at audio frequencies outside the range humans can detect. Cellphones are good for that purpose ;-D

Talking about android apps, the Tricorder app from F-Droid is really neat.
It's just a prop, but it looks nice and can do stuff like read from mic or grav sensors and display it with a graph, there's also something with gps and cameras. Pretty cool.

Thats mathematical!
Get those branch predictors moving!
Out of order executing to the rescue!

Activate the most CPU transistors with the least amount of Instructions?
This means Memory Controller(Read/Write), Integrated GPU, Multicore(SIMD?), Peripheral(USB/PCI/Etc.) controllers(What was once the North/South Bridges...), Intel ME/AMD PSP?, L1/2/3 Caches (Some Reverse Engineering Here...), Branch Predictors/Out-Of-Order(Deeper... Programs that would benefit from such technologies?(If/Else?...)), CPUID ROM, Microcode Memory?, Floating-Point(Double/Highest Precision)+Integer Units, Instruction Decoding(Complexity=Better?), Registers(MOVing?), Herp Derp Intel "Technologies"(AMT, vPro, Hyperthreading, VTd, Etc...) and other parts of the CPU...

Determine what instructions result in the greatest total activation?

You could write a simple C program like "main(){while(1)} to hang the CPU, but we want to push it as greatly as possible!

Your an idiot if you think this was a way for me to boast my knowledge. I would have gone on plebbit if I wanted to do that. What I am achieving here is the greatest amount of current flowing through my CPU with the least amount of instructions, to break it down at the "normal" frequencies set by the manufacturer, finding silicon imperfections if you will, might even find some unintended behavior!

He was also controversial for using racial slurs. The fact that the use of slurs is seen as a controversy and not just an indicator of poor mental health is perhaps part of why he is gone.

This is what meltdown looks like in a Samsung Chromebook Plus. If you want to give it a try yourself, start by installing Arch on a USB stick

https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/rockchip/samsung-chromebook-plus

And then,

$git clone https://github.com/lgeek/spec_poc_arm.git
$cd spec_poc_arm
$make
$taskset 0x30 ./dump_sys_regs

To pin the task to the vulnerable A72 cores use 0x30, use 0x0F to compare with the not vulnerable A53 cores.
