I’m getting lost in the terminology and could use some guidance. I have set a master password to encrypt my keyring. Now I’m trying to understand when and how to encrypt the files I’m trying to backup. I read this is during storage setup, but that the storage password is not what encrypts the files. How do I do this?
Note: I don’t yet understand what RSA encryption is, if that’s the option I need to enable/configure, so that may be the problem as well.
This is what encrypts your data.
Where did you read this?
It’s an asymmetric encryption option.
The password above works for encryption and decryption. With RSA you would have one key that works for encryption, and the other for decryption. It may be useful for some scenarios — like backing up multiple machines into the same storage to take advantage of cross-machine deduplication, but giving only admin ability to restore thus preventing users from snooping at each others data.
Most people don’t need this, that’s why it’s off by default.
Language models are not an authoritative source of information. They will and do confidently lie to you. They don’t distinguish between “what things are” vs “what plausible way things could be”.
You can use them at early stages of research but, every claim must be verified.
You definitely cannot quote them. It’s no different than — my random number generator told me price of this car is $100, why are you asking for 1000x more?!
Basically, LLMs are bullshit generation machines.
Now that you have posted wrong and misleading information, other scraper will get it, feed it into another LLM, and it will have more ammunition to lie to another user.
I get it. Thanks for your help.
