Ahh, that makes sense. I was wondering, “Why the hell are they announcing their zero day to the Internet?”

I’ve used ente on a family plan for the last year and really like it. Although I have the aptitude to run a NAS, the last thing I want to do in my free time is look at a terminal. So for me, ente has been great - pretty plug and play.

Most people have. I was hopeful that the extension on FISA / section 702 would get removed from the NDAA today but it looks like that failed 65-35. I suppose some hope still remains as it works it’s way through the house, and / or the extension ends.

Not holding my breath, though.

Agreed on all of this. There was a time that I was more worried about “the government” but the reality is that if a state level actor wants to fuck with me I’m probably screwed. I’ve also gotten older and realized there isn’t anything about me that would be interesting for people like that, so that’s not who I worry about with privacy.

These days I’m more concerned about scammers and more garden variety cyber criminals. Having a broader online presence presents more of an attack surface, a place to build out an initial profile for a planned social engineering or spear phishing campaign.
