| > Without compromising your security - I'd love to know how others approach their personal IT security challenges? Most of my security is based on OpenPGP keys stored on a Yubikey. In case the first one is broken/lost I've got another one. If both are lost there is a master copy on an offline computer that can be used to provision more Yubikeys. The key unlocks access to passwords stored in pass. Because pass is based on git and gpg can be used to access SSH then the same yubikey is used to pull/push changes to pass and read encrypted passwords. On both the laptop and the phone (Password Store). Data on the computer is LUKS-encrypted, unlocked by the Yubikey. Full backup of my laptop's SSD is done via btrfs send/receive to a raid1 array of 3 disks (raid1c3) on a regular intervals. A small subset if very important data (documents) is also backed up via restic to S3 and Backblaze. I try to "backup" as much of my work as possible by releasing it as open-source (where it's preserved by the Github etc.) or publishing it on a web-site (where it's preserved by archive.org). > In a similar vein: what happens to my data after I die? How would my (non-technical) family be able to access my pictures and writings? A digital inheritance would be prevented in my security set if I don't prepare. I've been thinking about this lately and maybe it's not a popular opinion but... would people really need your data when you die? I get access to photos (my SO has the PIN code) but everything else? Maybe this is just digital junk? Who would enjoy browsing terabytes of my data looking for... what exactly? |
