I don't think the upcoming games are coming to PS4.

The Forbidden West DLC was already PS5/PC exclusive.

Nice ragebait.

If you genuinely still think that was my point in its entirety, you are truly obtuse.

No.

I'm saying 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% ≠ 100%

For some people that's close enough. For some of us it's not.

Prove otherwise. I dare you. I'm done putting in effort explaining the obvius to you. Your turn.

Darn.

Was really hoping my PC would do for playing future Horizon (not Hunters Gathering) and GoW games.

Didn't need a PS5, but I guess Sony doesn't want my money anymore.

Too bad.

That's squenix though, and they've stated FF will start prioritizing PC over console.

Explain to me how they couldn't. Without simply stating "it's encrypted".

On the B2 plan you can use open source solutions like Kopia, and literally look at the code, to KNOW that data is encrypted on your system with keys only you have, before Backblaze ever sees it.

Explain to me, how the personal plan using their closed source application achieves the same.

Linking to a page where they say "it's secure" is not sufficient. Elaborate. In detail. To at least an equal extent I already have.

Sure they can. How else do they enable providing access to the content without the user password?

The data is secured against unauthorized access, but unlike zero-knowledge setups where the chain of custody is fully within user control, the user is not the only one authorized. And even if you are supposed to be, you cannot ensure that you actually are.

OF-FUCKING-COURSE the physical drives, and network traffic are encrypted. That's how you prevent unauthorized physical access or sniffing of data in-flight. That's nothing special.

But encryption is not some kind of magic thing that just automatically means anyone who shouldn't have access to the data, doesn't.

For that to actually be the case, you need solid opsec and known chain of custody. Ways of doing things that means the data stays encrypted end-to-end.

The personal backup plan doesn't have that.

With what?

That self hosting admins on lemmy probably care about their backups not being accessible to third parties?

I don't think you can claim that they wouldn't.

You can claim that YOU don't mind. But that's a sample size of one. And I'm not denying there are people who don't care.

I just don't think they're the type to be self-hosting in the first place.

And that still doesn't answer why the fuck you set out on this series of "well achuallys"?

It seems to me, you're still looking for something to correct me on.

Yeah. It's almost like I literally said that in my second comment.

Which some people are ok with, but not what most of us would want.

What gap in my knowledge are you trying to fill here?

I didn't even mention encryption in my second comment. Just that their backup plan isn't zero-knowledge.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (12 children)

No shit. But encryption isn't the same as zero-knowledge. Where by the time they handle the data in any way whatsoever, it's already encrypted, by you.

Do you not know what zero-knowledge means? Or are you so focused on my mentioning they'll ship data to you physically that what I actually said went over your head?

From the page you just linked:

  1. Implement encryption transparently so users don’t have to deal with it

  2. Allow users to change their password without re-encrypting their data

  3. In business environments, allow IT access to data without the user’s password

It's not zero-knowledge!

Also doesn't mean it is. Or in a way where only you can decrypt it.

The chain of custody is unclear either way. You're not in control.
