I started my IT career in emergency medical services. It was amazing to see the beating these computers can take. I have seen toughbooks (Panasonic, GETAC) survive after being run over by an ambulance, fall off the back of an ambulance at high speed, etc. They are very modular and easy to fix.
I created PyLaunch, a web UI for running scheduled Python scripts. For my personal use, it has usually been to send daily/weekly notifications about things: weather, metrics about my projects, news about TV shows and video games, shopping/prices, etc. I am basically sending stuff to push notification services like Pushover or Ntfy.sh. It has been working really well. I was surprised to see a few sign-ups already in less than a month.
No, anything including and after the # is not seen by the server. Here is a screenshot from Fly that shows what it looks like from my end: https://imgur.com/a/41XxtHJ
If someone were to go to just the /sha256/sha256 link without the encryption key bookmark appended to it, they would see: Decryption failed: ChaCha20Poly1305 key must be 32 bytes.
Or with a wrong key they would see: Decryption failed:
Check out the Risky.biz podcast. It is a mix of information security / political news. I have found this is the best way for me to keep a pulse on what’s going on.
The whole URL with the decryption key gets sent to the user one time when it’s generated. The key is tacked on at the end after a “#” symbol like you would see in a bookmark. It’s not used by the app as a bookmark, but the value is still accessible in the browser (window.location.hash). This way, I can send users their links and their decryption keys, but I will never be able to access the keys myself.
It is a planner/note-taking app that connects to your calendar and you can drag and drop "tasks" onto certain days, create notes that link to certain meetings, and time-block your days well in advance.
I’ll take the convenience of using FaceID over the possibility of being in a situation where it’s used against me. I don’t think that people should be generally worried about these scenarios.
