Thats the problem. Say, I’m offering you a cloud drive and tell you “your data is end to end encrypted”. You sync data from your PC to my server and from my server to your mobile phone. Would that mean

1. That everything between your devices is encrypted (=I can’t see what you’re saving, neither can “the state”, hackers,…)or
2. That your data is encrypted in transit, but is saved unencrypted on my server (which means everyone with access to my server can see your data) or
3. It’s encrypted in transit and also on my server, but the keys are also ony server, so that everyone with access to my server can in theory decrypt everything and access everything?

1 is what you want, 2 and 3 are often what you get…

Do not look at all those (proprietary) E2EE definitions to closely - you might find several that define TLS as end to end…

And if you panicked before and fucked up the opened file while hammering on the keyboard:

:q!

Shhhh… Don’t make it even more obvious. The fig leaf covering it is already so flaccid, that it might instantaneously turn into dust at the slightest disturbance.

Depends. Are you from the EU or not?

Oracle Cloud offers 4 ARM cores, 24GB RAM and 200GB storage in their free tier (IIRC you can even divide that into 4 separate VMs). Very useful for cheap testing, if your code/server supports ARM.

Even then, a small underpowered x64 VM for testing purposes is often free on all hyperscalers. Not the fastest server, but depending on the use case?

Better yet of you include users - there are so many lookalike characters (and the additionally all those diacritics to make more lookalikes) that look the same, so that a human most certainly can’t/won’t tell them apart, but that are completely different codepoints.

I � Unicode!

Guess how many systems ‘with full unicode support’ are broken by using emojis in your username or password…

Looks at it loosely: Well it looks like cool tech, and the first to offer it might have a new market all alone and can earn money and…

puts on tin hat have you looked around lately? Being able to directly access brains and probably inject God knows what signals to maybe be able to alter behavior of people and/or literally brainwash them is a sure way to get funding in late stage capitalism. [They] just want to be on the “correct side” of this. [They] just want control!
