…It was…unclear if #Starlink communications were #encrypted. At a minimum, the system allows for a network separate from existing WH servers that people on the grounds are able to use, keeping that data separate.

“It’s super rare” to install Starlink or another #internet provider as a replacement for existing govt #infrastructure that has been vetted & secured, said Jake Williams, a VP for R&D at Hunter Strategy, a #cybersecurity consultancy. “I can’t think of a time that I have heard of that.”

So today I tired #mkfs.btrfs and this works. I was using #gparted, which can’t create #encrypted file systems and so I created a blank (cleared) one, used #cryptsetup to create the #encryption on the device, and then created the brtrfs file system.

I managed to create an #encrypted #Linux #Filesystem on a #USBStick. The reason I wanted this is that I want to back up some directories, which contain secure information and also #NTFS, the one that comes on most drives, doesn’t know how to handle #SymbolicLinks properly. I don’t need or want to share the stick with any non-Linux machines.

@ProPublica Get your act behind a #vpn, #firewall, #encrypted email, #burnerPhone and #pw protected computer. Just bc you're paranoid doesn't mean #MAGAmron and #muskrat aren't out to get you! Even if you're not the target, you don't want to end up as collateral damage.

With Tomb, you can Create #encrypted storage folders that open with a password protected key file. You can keep your tomb file on your computer and the key on a USB stick, whose contents are kept secret and indistinguishable; it can be safely renamed.
