Since I have #solar panels, batteries, and no electric bill, I get asked a lot of questions. I now have a Solar FAQ part two to cover new questions since the last Solar FAQ from a couple of years ago.
Part two: https://www.markloveless.net/blog/2024/7/30/solar-faq-part-two

Question for crypto (as in cryptographic) nerds, I am looking for an automated solution for on-prem backups that encrypts said backup. The plan is to take said encrypted backup and store it off sight. Prefer open source, and for further context consider this "home lab" although it does involve multiple servers with public IPs etc. I do not want to have the encryption key easily reachable like in plaintext in a config file.
Right now this is all happening manually, but automated would make this so much easier. It does not have to be a full end-to-end solution, even just the encrypting part being able to be automated would be fine as I could simply script around it. Thoughts and recommendations?

A sad day yes. Not because it is #Monday but because it is #taxday here in the USA.

Hmm. People are speculating on the nation state that’s behind the #xzbackdoor and seem to be taking a decidedly Western perspective on this. The suspected threat actors they’re naming are typically Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.
Folks, I just want to point out that you shouldn’t exclude UK, Israel, France, USA, and many others who are more than capable of this as well. And yes, this could have also been some black hat or even a commercial spyware shop doing this to later sell to the highest bidder.

This xz backdoor thing reminds me of a story I heard from friends that worked at a tech company that made cell phones. They had a great coder that worked on the project, he had put in work as a contractor for a few months, and due to the quality of his work he was hired in full time. After two months he simply stopped showing up to the office.
An investigation turned up the following interesting items. His account had accessed all files including source code to *all* cellular projects - in that he had apparently downloaded a copy of everything. He had committed a large amount of contributions to the project he was assigned to. None of his paychecks were ever cashed. A wellness check to the house he had rented was performed and the house was completely empty. Per the landlord he'd paid for 6 months rent in advance in cash. Apparently he never physically moved in. No record for him nor his social security number seemed to check out. The guy was a ghost.
I was asked about recommendations on future prevention by friends who worked there - no idea how far they got in their investigation, if backdoors were ever found or even existed, or if the Feds were ever involved. The punch line? This was probably a couple of decades ago.
This shit is real, and it has been going on for a long time.
