Your Weekly Privacy & Security Wins 🏆 (Week 45 - Mar 6 2025)

I have actually started using [Olive Editor | olivevideoeditor.org] for video editing. I wasn’t doing that before because the audio was crap, but it turns out all you had to do is switch the backend to JACK to fix it. Unfortunately it still uses C++, so it sometimes dies with no explanation. I might consider rewriting the whole thing in Rust at some point in the future.

Clarification for previous week’s win (the encrypted folder):

My PC thinks that it connects to a regular SFTP share with a password (and I set it up to automatically do that at boot), but on the backend the server uses the password for the share to decrypt a virtual hard drive, which it provides to the PC

It is completely automatic, I just boot my PC, and I get a network folder in /storage
