@lewo wow :D
Would you recommend a password manager at all for people that are not really familiar with computers or smartphones? I was thinking at pushing Bitwarden (because I have a vaultwarden instance), but this might be too complicated... Any experience?
@Pol @solenepercent this is a good point indeed

@solenepercent @Pol I thought mentionning reproducible builds but I forgot about it. This could help verifying if a mirror is serving trustable images but:

- you need to build reproducible images to verify if the registry is lying, at this point you do not need the registry
- if you trust 3rd party reproducible builds monitoring system, you would need to trust multiple independant peers. A wrong signature immediately reports an issue, not an async reproducible check

@passthejoe

@solenepercent great! I wasn't sure to write this because it was too simple, but my blog is my doc after all and it wasted too much time figuring a few things (like package name on ubuntu X_X)

@jackie

@solenepercent for me it just works perfectly, tried between peers using android, linux, iOS :)

@creationist @solenepercent I don’t trust any kind of sync software, I keep a integrity check tool associated to those to ensure they don’t silently mangle my data.
@creationist @solenepercent this problem is solved by making backups. You should not trust your synchronisation software anyway, encryption or not on top of it, make backups
