Anderhalf jaar gezocht naar een Europese cloud die Γ©cht cloud is. De meeste vielen af. STACKIT niet.

Managed Kubernetes, multi-AZ, Terraform, API-first β€” gebouwd door de Schwarz Group. Geen CLOUD Act. Geen grijze zones.

Het volledige verhaal op de @Krane-Labs.com site

Beta testers kept asking the same question: "What should I actually store in my Trustbourne vault?"

So I wrote it up. Folder structure, what goes where, what your family actually needs in the first week vs. later.

How we encrypt your vault (and what we can and can't see) β€” Trustbourne Every file is encrypted in your browser before it reaches our servers. Here's how both encryption modes work, what the tradeoffs are, and why we're honest about them.

Most services say 'we can't read your data' and leave it at that. We wrote up exactly what Trustbourne can and can't see in each encryption mode β€” and why we offer both. trustbourne.com/blog/how-we...

Uhu en dat is allicht aanleiding, maar v14 is wow.

Sure. Maar het verschil tussen 13 en 14 is enorm. Suggereer om ook reviews daarvan te bekijken. Van Duitse auto journalisten bv, een groep die je bezwaarlijk tesla-stans kan noemen

Huh? Er zijn tegenwoordig een pak β€œkleine” EVs. Ook in Europese merken.

Ik vroeg het specifiek aan de OP :) de XPeng heeft tegen binnen 2h ook FSD. De andere niet. (Trouwens content van mijn Europeaan, maar vervanger zal FSD moeten hebben)

En door wat worden ze vervangen? (Vreemd trouwens, nu de nieuwe FSD naar Europa komt. Voor mij net een reden om Tesla wel te overwegen)

2/2 in the least secure mode, the encryption key will be derived from the password. We'll have a middle mode where the files are encrypted using a key we don't have, but the metadata (eg filenames) aren't. The user could put "hints" to where to find the key in the filename.

We have multiple modes of encryption, depending on the risk the user is willing to take. In the most secure mode, we'll tress the recipients should either have a copy of the key, or other means are needed to pass the key "when needed". 1/2

Started building something I've needed for years.

A dead man's switch for files, passwords, crypto keys. Checks in with you. If you go quiet, your people get access.

It's called Trustbourne. Landing page just went live: trustbourne.com

I am often asked to provide a second opinion on pentest reports. It was one of those days again. I nearly wrote "If the pentester disagrees these are all bogus, I encourage them to contact CloudFlare, Vanta and Framer and collect a huge bug bounty".

Hmm, vorig jaar toch een hele zaal, waaronder ook genoeg van zijn begin werk. Uiteraard minder dan de VGs
