Macbooks M*: NTFS Drives and Security Parameters - Lemmy.World
Hello everyone, Sorry if this was previously discussed. I searched through the
web and could not find a clear solution / conclusion (all too generic). When I
had an intel mac, I was able to use 3rd party apps to read, write and format
NTFS drives. Right now, I cannot do so without disabling security features,
since Apple Silicon macs no longer allow the use of kext kernel extensions the
same way as before. I checked FUSE stuff but it seems unstable. Every 3rd party
app I tried has the same issue. Isn’t there ANY other software, program, etc
that allows read/write in NTFS drives without disabling security parameters (on
the boot menus)? If it is not possible, it looks like a shortcoming for those
that use more than 1 OS… I have backups in NTFS drives since I also use linux.
Any idea? Kind of bummed with this… I need to export a lot of stuff and FAT*
filesystem formats do not meet the requirements as well (due to max file size).
Thank you in advance!!! JS

Need To Change Privacy Strategy - Recommendations and BlackFriday - Lemmy.World
Hello everyone, There are a few basic things in my current setup that I’m not
very comfortable with. Since we’re on blackfriday -> cybermonday I think it
would be a nice season to make some changes [cloud - e-mail - calendar - cloud -
DNS] Here’s the deal: ### E-mail / Calendar Strategy - Using tuta for more than
2 years but I still rely on my gmail address for many things; issues with Tuta:
- troublesome to export/make backups (worse since I have many folders, would be
folder by folder) - not a fan of not having an e-mail client on my desktop (not
issue in mobile phone), also don’t love the calendar What would be ideal: - a
nice mail provider, possibility of easy backups, possibility of using e-mail
client (this one is not a hard requirement) - Calendar, end-to-end encrypted: a
hard requirement since I store some sensitive data there. Should be easy to see
on mobile (e.g.: dedicated app); for desktop it does not matter much to me I
guess the calendar requirement excludes nextcloud and most providers, as well as
calDav stuff and similar - I wouldn’t mind if it would be 2 products working
side by side if no alternatives are available (calendar and e-mail, but not
ideal) ### Backups and Cloud Storage (for redundancy) - I have 1 cold backup at
home, another at someone else’s home (both encrypted) but to be safe I’d like to
also have a trustworthy cloud Cloud: -end-to-end encrypted or -> next bullet -
compatibility with cryptomator is a big plus (though I want to avoid
Apple/Google/MS/Dropbox) - possibility of mounting the cloud storage as drive on
my computer (not hard requirement this one) - could be 2 products side by side
(not ideal though): a storage solution for entire backup (wasabis and stuff) and
a cloud solution (day to day usage) ### DNS for filtering I’d like a solution to
have all traffic filtered (malware, ads) system wide on my laptop/desktop I have
used adguard in the past; open to all other possibilities. I also have
mullvadVPN; wouldn’t using a different DNS defeat the purpose of the VPN? Or
when VPN is on, the DNS is always the one of the VPN? Possibilities: - controlD
(i have seen people vouching for it) - NextDNS (system settings) - MullvadDNS
(system settings) - adguard desktop app ### Malware / Virus / etc I have a linux
desktop and macOS laptop. My doubts are regarding macOS. I’ve seen so many new
antivirus ads that it almost makes me think that I should have one. I have
malwarebytes installed for occasional runs and CleanMyMacX (I have doubts
regarding its security claims - I use more for system management) - Should I opt
for an antivirus program? If so, which would be advised intego is showing up all
the time weirdly) This time of the year is when I can gear up, since financially
I haven’t been at the top. For those that will answer, thank you so much in
advance!!!
