I searched and searched about this and every response of theirs I found gave the same speech about IMAP not being as safe as their apps.

I only buy used drives. The money I save from buying and using them is more than enough to backup everything multiple times. I personally think a new drive but only one back up is not safe.

Other thought, if you want to be seriously safe about your backup you should put it at your parents house or work in case something happens to yours.

But the thing I keep coming to is the cold backup. How can you keep cold backups over several hard drives, without an entire second server to do the work?

You could just plug them into your server or computer and move them there. Also, a server doesn’t need to be expensive. You could just buy a used optiplex for 40$.

How has that been going?

Yes, already have. It seems they don’t care.

Well, I am asking also security wise. I know most schools snoop. Can they somehow see traffic through ssh or VPN? Or just the protocols, logs, dates, etc

It is my own device, but yes utilities and security is their own.

I have a server in my school office. I currently only use it to backup important files. I am asking if running public or private containers on it would be safe and acceptable.

Well at least we gave it our best

What can be done?

Great point about IoT

It’s why I laugh at the fact that “quick scoping” is seen as this amazing thing, when in reality the moment you ADS when just vaguely near a target instantly snaps your aim to the target allowing a super easy hit.

IDK which cod you’re referring to but in the original MW1-2 quick scoping and trick shots were insanely challenging and a real skill. There was never such assistance that these actions were easy.

My understanding is that scrappers check every domain and subdomain. You’re making it harder but not impossible. Everything gets scrapped

It would be better if you also did IP whitelisting, rate limiting to prevent bots, bot detection via cloudflare or something similar, etc.

I was auto banning all countries but my own but now I’m hosting one resource that has an audience including Chinese…

Good advice outside of this use case! :)

Anything else?

Thanks!

Mailbox.org is a commonly recommended service beside Tuta and Proton. I was going to switch from Proton to Tuta to have more custom domain emails but it doesn’t allow service outside of its apps. Mailbox.org is cheaper and allows 50 custom domains :)

That’s not how web scrappers work lol. No such thing as obscurity except for humans

I find this extremely weird

What

I quickly quit them because they don’t do IMAP for “security” reasons, ie walled garden, and their support requires you paying. After canceling my membership I literally couldn’t contact support unless I paid again.

Thanks! What’s a proton simple login? In this use case could I use my name.com domain? I think mailbox can do this!
