  Because custodially held crypto assets may be considered to be the property of a bankruptcy estate, in the event of a bankruptcy, the crypto assets we hold in custody on behalf of our customers could be subject to bankruptcy proceedings and such customers could be treated as our general unsecured creditors

According to the post which introduced the project be was already using them and they referred him internally

Back in April during a regular catchup with the folks at KPMG about some otherwise mundane financial stuff (I've met with advisers regularly as my own financial state became more complex), they suggested I have a chat with their Mergers and Acquisition (M&A) practice about finding a new home for HIBP. I was comfy doing that; we have a long relationship and they understand not just HIBP, but the broader spectrum of the cyber things I do day to day.

wow, thanks, yet another tool to remember in the toolbox

  sudo purge
  time look E38AD214943DAAD1D64C102FAEC29DE4AFE9DA3D pwned-passwords-sha1-ordered-by-hash-v5.txt
  E38AD214943DAAD1D64C102FAEC29DE4AFE9DA3D:2413945
          0.01 real         0.00 user         0.00 sys`

not 49us, but fast enough for most use cases (purge should clear the fs cache)

last update says they were able to restore a version

Updated on Thursday, 9:58 PM +0200: we're not sure we will be able to provide the data but we were able to recover a version of the filesystem from right before the crash

I have been using them for DNS and some minor hosting for a long time and I will stay with them. I think it's important to avoid the monoculture/centralisation which is otherwise happening.

Sure Gandi has their flaws, they are humans.

I expect they do will a proper post-mortem on what went wrong and how they managed to fix it. Seems they were using ZFS and relied on it a bit too much. Or if they indeed managed to restore the last snapshot, then their only error might have been the classic one of underestimating how long restoring/investigating several terabytes take even on modern HW.

I have similar experience with Scaleway for the disks. I have been running a few cheap dedicated ARM/Atom servers there for many years. It seems be a tied to a specific host or model, I have one of the first arm's which has been dead stable, but I have seen disk issues with both my new Atom's and newer ARM's.

I still use them for some non-critical stuff because their cheap dedicated ARM and Atom's give you isolation like a dedicated machine. In combination with a LUKS mount I like to think it's safer against any Meltdown/Rowhammer-like attacks than a shared instance.

But if you want a stable VPS you might have better luck elsewhere.

It does, thanks for the tip. It does seem to allow even finer grained configuration of what to block or allow so I will definitely take a look.

Yes, there are multiple solutions available for Chrome/Firefox on other platforms, but on iOS there is only native/apple content blockers and browsers with built in ad blocking.

I use Brave on iOS with javascript blocked as it is the only* iOS browser which gives me the ability to easily use the Web without JS while giving me the ability to quickly enable it for the site where it makes sense, and still retain the ad blocking feature.

A surprisingly big part of the Internet works as well or better and faster with javascript disabled, but sometimes it is actually needed and useful so I find this whitelisting method works well.

I tried playing around with the script blocking ability of native content blockers but never got it working properly, for one I think it can't block script tags only externa scripts.

But my recommendation, if you are giving Brave a try is to change the default to disallow scripts, and enable them as needed, it's refreshing to browse the Web without Popups 2.0 and all the other not so nice uses of JS.
