Focus instead on enforcing standards' compliance so i can open a .docx with any program and be usable anywhere.

That's an impossible task. Not even Microsoft manages that. Do not want to count how often i used libreOffice to repair or convert an older MSOffice file so it can be opend with modern Versions of MSOffice.

Once there was a 500MB Excel Sheet with lime 500-1000 used Cells, opened and saved it to.a xlsx file using libreOffice and reduced it to a few MB while still being fully functional.

Would it be not much easier (and more portable) if you create a Linux VM in for example VirtualBox? From there you could just follow any Linux guide.

The cheap models can not be flashed with openwrt since they use some proprietary drivers or something.

The complete Opal series is not supporte iirc.

You should have read the post more carefully. The CVE affects every OS. Just the first shown example is Windows only.

Also, the relevant commits are outlined in the first paragraph. This article is not for the stupid user it's a technical analysis on a few ways to exploit it and for those cases the commits are more relevant than the version. Also saying which versions are affected is not that easy, commits can be backported into an older version by for example the packager.

You want the mail-crypt-plugin in dovecot.

I just set it up. Yes i dislike the fact, that you need another party for syncing it, but i doubt it would be possible otherwise, just too much work to support everyone.

I read up on GoCardless and they do not sound that evil

But not sure if i will keep the connection up. Will see i guess.

Really disliking that discord is used as helpdesk/forum. Not really searchable via the web.

Also no link to the repo.

And how often. have you said stuff that you have not received advertising for? You will notice it when you get a positive match but not on a negative.

Data collecting companies can predict/rate your behavior for more then 20 years based. Since then. it has been perfected. They know that you are interested in those topics without having the need to waste resources on recording and analyzing every single audio stream.

Extracting the key from a TPM is actually trivial but immense time consuming.

Basically this with probably more modern chips and therefore even smaller cells. https://youtu.be/lhbSD1Jba0Q

Also sniffing is a thing since the communication between CPU und TPM is not encrypted.

Wasn't the CVE fixed in a reasonable time frame? I seriously doubt that the maintainers would have ignored it if it wouldn't have been discussed so publicly.

AFAIK, to exploit it, you need network access to CUPS then add the printer and then the client needs to add/select a new printer on the client device and actively print something.

If CUPS is reachable from the internet, then the system/network is misconfigured anyway, no excuse for ignoring the issue but those systems have other sever issues anyway.

TPM is not only used by the system encryption. But no i do not use it for it. Not because of privacy, cause of security reasons.

As for a backup, I figured I would have to raid it.

RAID is not a backup. Never ever consider having the data on a RAID to be backed up.
