Explain to me how they couldn’t. Without simply stating “it’s encrypted”.
On the B2 plan you can use open source solutions like Kopia to KNOW that data is encrypted on your system with keys only you have, before Backblaze ever sees it.
Explain to me, how the personal plan using their closed source application achieves the same.

Sure they can. How else do they enable providing access to the content without the user password?
The data is secured against unauthorized access, but unlike zero-knowledge setups where the chain of custody is fully within user control, the user is not the only one authorized. And even if you are supposed to be, you cannot ensure that you actually are.
OF-FUCKING-COURSE the physical drives are encrypted. That’s how you prevent unauthorized physical access.
But encryption is not some kind of magic thing that just automatically means anyone who shouldn’t have access to the data, don’t.
For that to actually be the case, you need solid opsec and known chain of custody. Ways of doing things that means the data stays encrypted end-to-end.
The personal backup plan doesn’t have that.

With what?
That self hosting admins on lemmy probably care about their backups not being accessible to third parties?
I don’t think you can claim that they wouldn’t.
You can claim that YOU don’t mind. But that’s a sample size of one.
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 4 days ago:
Yeah. It’s almost like I literally said that.
Which some people are ok with, but not what most of us would want.
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 4 days ago:
No shit. But encryption isn’t the same as zero-knowledge. Where by the time they handle the data in any way whatsoever, it’s already encrypted, by you.
Do you not know whay zero-knowledge means? Or are you so focused on my mentioning they’ll ship data to you physically that what I actually said went over your head?
From the page you just linked:
2. Implement encryption transparently so users don’t have to deal with it 3. Allow users to change their password without re-encrypting their data 4. In business environments, allow IT access to data without the user’s password
It’s not zero-knowledge!
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 4 days ago:
Also doesn’t mean it is. Or in a way where only you can decrypt it.
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 4 days ago:
You can do that with B2. Just use an application to upload that encrypts as it uploads.
The only way to achieve the same on the backup plan (because you have to use theur desktop app) is to always have your entire system encrypted and never decrypt anything while the desktop app is performing a backup.

Yeah no I’d been feeling the same.
They made an awesome show, and while I think there’s enough in there for one more season, this is the right time to finish it.
I’m glad they’re deciding that they’re done, and not just dragging it out until it deteriorates enough to lose its audience.

Yes. Did I suggest otherwise?
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 5 days ago:
They only needed about 500GB.
And personal is for desktop systems. You have to use Backblazes macOS/Windows desktop application, and the setup is not zero-knowledge on Backblazes part. They literally advertise being able to ship you your files on a physical device if need be.
Which some people are ok with, but not what most of us would want.

Recently helped someone get set up with backblaze B2 using Kopia, which turned out fairly affordable. It compresses and de-duplicates leading to very little storage use, and it encrypts so that Backblaze can’t read the data.
Kopia connects to it directly. To restore, you just install Kopia again and enter the same connection credentials to access the backup repository.
My personal solution is a second NAS off-site, which periodically wakes up and connects to mine via VPN, during that window Kopia is set to update my backups.

I’m running synapse, but I set it up back when it was the only real option if you wanted feature-completeness.
Tuwunel is likely what I’d recommend to new admins.

They absolutely deserve the support.

But these guys NAILED the Alien Isolation vibe.

The current repo is here: github.com/element-hq/dendrite
It moved, same as synapse.
- Comment on Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon 1 week ago:
Yes?
“Matrix” is the protocol.
The equivalent is ActivityPub, not discord, fluxer or stoat.
- Comment on Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon 1 week ago:
We do.
This is for activitypub DMs.
- Comment on Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon 1 week ago:
How so? It’s certainly very similar.
The matrix protocol enables federation between different instances running different homeservers between users using different clients.
