Scripting News: Think different about developers
"This is the same problem web devs have, we have to become resellers for Amazon S3. Why can't Amazon, who already has an account for every freaking person in the world, let the user own their own data, which I believe they would reallllly like. I don't want access to it, I just want to make great tools for them to use. And they're free to use other products with the data. This helps encourage data format standards. It's why the PC software market was so much more vibrant than the web developer..."

In late August, hackers gained access to the inner workings of an #AI #Chatbot platform...
#Drift, a chatbot agent acquired by #Salesloft is popular with American sales and marketing teams
...they stole authentication tokens that gave them access to #Salesforce, #GoogleWorkspace, #Slack, #AmazonS3, #MicrosoftAzure, #OpenAI, and potentially any other platform that integrates with Salesloft.

Ah, the classic tale of Amazon S3 🥱—it started simple, but surprise, surprise, it got complicated the more they tinkered with it. 🎩💡 Who knew that adding features and fixing bugs could result in complexity? Thank goodness we have a 3851-word treatise to enlighten us on this groundbreaking revelation. 🤯📚

Schneier on Security: Delivering Malware Through Abandoned Amazon S3 Buckets. “Here’s a supply-chain attack just waiting to happen. A group of researchers searched for, and then registered, abandoned Amazon S3 buckets for about $400. These buckets contained software libraries that are still used. Presumably the projects don’t realize that they have been abandoned, and still ping them for […]
I just stumbled across rclone. A tool for syncing files to cloud storage. Which can also encrypt and decrypt the data. So... something for a encrypted remote backup. Not only it works with SSH/SFTP, but also with a lot of other service like S3, Google Cloud Storage, HiDrive, Hetzner Cloud Storage and so on (see https://rclone.org/docs/).
Maybe I will create an blog post about rclone in the near future, because the docs weren't that straightforward (at least for me).
But in short (even when the examples sates otherwise), you need to add two hosts: one for sftp/ssh/rsync (or any other services) and one for "crypt". Then it will be encrypted on the sending computer.
Nice... I am positively surprised.

そうか、 #CloudflareR2 は #AmazonS3 互換だから #macOS の #Forklift からも接続できるのか。
いいかも
(Boost for awareness of this shitty situation.)
IDrive's got some explaining to do.
I moved from Amazon S3 to IDrive e2, about a month ago.
Yesterday I found that my buckets became inaccessible, either through their GUI or through the web.
This means:
- No Mastodon cache.
- No offsite WordPress backups. (They still happen on site.)
I've reported the problem yesterday using a GUI feature, but truth be told, this did not seem to create a ticket. I've emailed them this morning, and got a reply that a ticket was created.
This is complete and utter shit. I was over one year with Amazon S3, and *never* had any problem.
One month with IDrive e2, and I run into this shit.
