No, that would make no sense and is obviously not what i meant.

But you could separate the arr stack from things like pihole with a vm. For example you could pin one thread to that VM so you will not bottleneck your DNS when you are doing heavy loads on the rest of the system. This is just one example what can be done.

Just because you do not see a benefit, does not mean there is none.

Also, VMs are not “heavy” thanks to virtualization technology built into modern hardware, VMs are quite light on the system. Yes they still have overhead but its not like you are giving up big percentages of your potential performance, depending on the setup.

You talk like there is not in between containers and VMs. You can use both.

What exactly are you referring to? ZIL? ARC? L2ARC? And what docs? Have not found that call out in the official docs.

I use a consumer SSD for caching on ZFS now for over 2 years and do not have any issues with it. I have a 54 TB pool with tons of reads and writes and no issue with it.

smart reports 14% used.

You recall wrong. ECC is recommended for any server system but not necessary.

1. And? If you cannot trust then you should not use them when you want to do something that is private and should not get looked on.

2. And if there were signs of misuse of the trust, then they would get removed.

It is actually really easy to monitor thanks to CT.

Yes, there is countless examples of root CAs containing compromised CAs.

This incidence with digicert is not about a compromised CA it is about a flaw in their validation system. That is not what you claimed. Such flaws happen from time to time, lets encrypt had an issue a while back too.

So one of the ones complaining, complained that they should rather implement the feature he needed instead of posting a tweet that took 20 seconds to write?

This person’s block was well deserved.

Not exactly. They are pointing out that HTTPS assumes all is well if it sees a certificate from any “trusted” certificate authority. Browsers typically trust dozens of CAs (nearly 80 for Firefox) from jurisdictions all over the world. Anyone with sufficient access to any of them can forge a certificate.

Great thing, that you can remove them and only trust those you trust.

Also, HTTPS doesn’t cover all traffic like a properly configured VPN does.

Pls explain what https is not covered? The SNI on tbe first visit? A VPN just moves the “exit point” of your traffic. Now the Datacentef and VPN provider sees what you ISP saw.

it’s not difficult for a well positioned snooper (like an internet provider that has to answer to government) to follow your traffic on the net and deduce what you’re doing.

No. I never said otherwise. But they cannot spy on the traffic. And since the SNI is not encrypted anyway they do not even nerd to “follow the traffic”. But what sites you are visiting and what you are doing on them are 2 different things.

Yes, there is countless examples of root CAs containing compromised CAs.

Then pls proof that? Link to a recent article maybe?

You can read more about this learning about X.509.

Its the PKI thats broken, namely the root stores. Has been unreliable for many, many years. This is why packages are signed.

So you are basically saying that root CAs are unreliable or compromised?

The great thing is, that you can decide on your own which CAs you trust. Also please proof that those are actively malicious.

And no. That is not the reason that packages are signed, i am guessing you mean packages like on linux, packages contained in the installation repository. The reason is, that you build another chain of trust. Why would i trust a CA which issues certificates for domains with code distribution. That’s not their job.

When you get judged based on what website you are visiting it is very likely that you are already the bad guy by using a vpn.

Yes. Not claimed otherwise. OC claimed that they see what you are doing which is wrong.

Basically everything online can be done encrypted. bittorrent has had support for encryption for years. There are other challenges like hiding from DPI and the thing that you broadcast your torrent IP but the content can be securely emcrypted.

They see what sites you are visiting yes but they do not see what you are doing on them. They do not see the content of the traffic. Huge difference.

a VPN provider can indeed tell what you’re doing

New to me that https is broken

Yes, any VPN provider will see what’s in your traffic, no way around that…ever…no matter who you choose

Yes, there is a way around it, just use https.

When you visit sites with https then the traffic is encrypted. They still see what sites you are visiting.

Who says that it is no longer maintained? https://github.com/containers/podman-compose Looks fine to me?
