Sounds a lot like EEA (Iceland Norway Lichtenstein)

It's not, unless you know the keys.

Keys are created by the software/app made by the service provider, like WhatsApp / Meta or Google. How is the key created, and is a copy sent back to WhatsApp? "Securely" and "No" they claim, and you just have to trust them.
That can change if WhatsApp need to comply with new laws.

Signal is a bit different because of the app is fully open source, so the code can be audited to verify the integrity of the encryption. They would still need to comply with laws or exit that market, but whatever they do would be 100% transparent.

Thanks for sharing! TIL about autofs. Now I'm curious to try NFS again.

What's the failure mode if the NFS happens to be offline when PBS initiates a backup? Does PNS try to backup anyway? What if the NFS is offline while PBS boots?

EDIT: What was the reason for bind mounting the NFS share via the host to the container, and NFS mounting from NAS to host?
I did the NFS-mount directly in the PBS. (But I am running my PBS as a VM, so had to do it that way)

I run PBS as a virtual machine on Proxmox, with a dedicated physical harddrive passed through to PBS for the data.

While this protects from software failures of my VMs, it does not protect from catastrophic hardware failure. In theory I should be able to take the dedicated harddrive out and put it in any other system running a fresh PBS, but I have not tested this.

I tried running the same PBS with an external NFS share, but had speed and stability issue, mainly due to the hardware of the NFS host. And I wasn't aware of autofs at the time, so the NFS share stayed disconnected

Divide Germany you say? I feel like that's been done before

"Package" as in taking the raw chip and making it a finalised electronics component, as suggested here?

Wow that makes so much sense!

When reading "packaging" in the news articles it sounds like some relatively simple logistics operating.

But for electronics and semi-conductors, the "packaging" is very much part of the manufacturing process to get a usable product. Like chips that come in Surface Mount and Through Hole versions

This happened a while ago, article is from 22nd july

I'm with you on the poorly worded headline. I couldn't parse that sentence either

Good news: Firefox on Android supports extensions, including uBlockOrigin

Though Im in the same camp, much prefer desktop over mobile for big purchases, banking, or anything that feels important

Or build more datacenters in the cold north, or near coastlines. Datacenters don't necessarily need loads of fresh water.

For example https://greenmountain.no/about-us/

SingleFile provides a faithful representation of the original webpage, so bloated webpages are indeed saved as bloated html files.

On the plus side you're getting an exact copy, but on the downside an exact copy may not be necessary and takes a huge amount of space.
