The problem with Section 6 is that it does nothing but encourage litigation. I called it wonky, and I stick to that assessment.Įdit - I guess I'll edit in a response. I am not saying that I think this creates legally enforceable rights, but this is written in a document that is meant to create legally enforceable rights.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHETHER YOU UNDERSTAND ALL PARTS OF THIS LICENSE OR IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHETHER YOU CAN COMPLY WITH ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENSE, YOU MUST NOT USE, COPY, MODIFY, CREATE DERIVATIVE WORKS OF, NOR (RE)DISTRIBUTE THIS PRODUCT, NOR ANY PORTION(S) OF IT. It is flexible, but it relies on veracrypt, with its wonky truecrypt license.Ħ. This is a something else entirely suggestion. I have always preferred encrypted external drives for this reason. And there is no good contingency for the loss of one of the usb sticks.
It will also require you to encrypt the usb sticks, which would leave a weak password in the chain. The same container with slightly different content is apparently a cryptographic weakness. Remember not to put a copy of the veracrypt container in the cloud. In the event that one of the usb sticks is lost or stolen, create an entirely new veracrypt container in your home directory, copy the contents of the old container to the new container, and delete the old container. In the event that the laptop is lost or stolen, dd zeros over the contents of the usb sticks. Keep one usb stick on your person, the other in your home safe. Keep the password to the veracrypt container on 2 or more usb sticks - plain text will work fine. I can backup when computer turned on to external drive with encrypted contains maybe? What are the data loss / recovery measures I should take?Ī veracrypt container in your home directory. make partitions as above for the three distinct data sets, and encrypt the drives some other way?Īny advice much appreciated! I am very behind the times with all this!Īlso any other comments on data management, like. Just encrypt the whole drive as one 1tb partition (LVM option on install?), and login as normal to my user? (no encrypted home)Ģ. 250gb for work? (work can just sync to onedrive as normal)ĭoes anyone have a recommended setup for my new install? I am presuming home director is no longer the way forward.ġ.
500gb on drive for personal (could stop relying on tresorit alone and instead start using cryptomator or veracrypt?), and x amount e.g.
I don't mind partitioning the drive beforehand to split data up. I sync personal data to Tresorit (where in theory no one can see it!) and I sync work data to OneDrive via OneDrive client (it doesn't need to be so secure no one at Microsoft can see it). I don't want anyone getting access to my home files under any circumstances, I have both personal and work data which I want secure if I lose the laptop / it gets stolen (especially the work stuff). Previously I had an encrypted home partition on my last two installs, but I am aware ecrypts is somehow supposed to be 'outdated', that it isn't the best performance, and that there might be better ways to do this.
I've been using mint for about eight years but need to install the new 20.2 version on this new laptop (im trailing way back at 17/18 or something now! still working solid but needs to change!).
