Do you have something that allows you to publish that as well? Use case - I want to keep some notes for myself e2e on my laptop & phone but every now and then I'd like to publish a few of them under a pseudonym anonymously on the internet.
Yeah. It's called a web server and it's been around for ages, try it out some time
come on, now.
My preference is to not need to care about what I'm pasting into my notes app. As I use the app on mobile, desktop OS and store not only organized content there, but also random thoughts, incl. sensitive content. That's I prefer to have it E2EE and use standardnotes.com (no affiliation, I'm just a happy customer)
Last I knew standard notes hid 2FA behind the paywall. Basic security should not be a pay feature. If they're willing to hang non-paying potential customers out to dry what other questionable security choices are they making? I tried to reason this out with them back when they had a discourse site or forum, I don't recall which it was, and was told, I'm paraphrasing, we're not going to do that and don't ever ask agai…
> Should Your Notes Be End-to-End Encrypted? Yes. That's why I use Joplin (which is free and open source btw) and not some proprietary freemium app that to explains me that I don't necessary need E2E encryption for my notes.

Hmm, here is someone who would have loved E2E for his emails (and images in the cloud): Google refuses to reinstate account after man took medical images of son’s groin https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32560361 Given the tendency of large corporations to look into our private stuff, even on personal mobile devices (Hi Apple), encryption seems to be the only remedy. That is the reason why I store my (encrypted) no…
Google Photos whole premise is that they analyze, categorize, scan, and classify the photos for you. They find similar faces, put your photos on the Maps timeline, etc. If you don't want Google to do that, there's no point in using Google Photos. The entire benefit disappears.

We've been hearing about homomorphic encryption for years, but I haven't seen it applied in a very practical way.
When I last looked into fully homomorphic encryption in 2017, the algorithms were still not at an applicable place. Sure, we may have polynomial time algorithms for FHE, but it doesn't help anything in practice if those polynomials are not reasonable themselves.

One other major downside of end-to-end encryption: everything has to be done client-side, and the server becomes very close to a dumb pipe and block storage. (The only parts the server can do anything with are those that aren’t encrypted, so the explicit goal of E2EE is to reduce the server to a dumb pipe and block storage.) Got ten gigabytes of stuff you want to search through? Without E2EE, the server can implement…

If you like other people's technical perspectives are looking for ideas or side project ideas to learn of then read my journal
For context I am a DevOps and software engineer interested in performance, distributed systems, parallelism, concurrency, futuristic GUIs, the future of programming, how computers can be used to improve society and community ideas.

Since I'm still working on these journal entries, I don't want people to miss ideas I added if people don't come back so I create a new repository when I get to a certain number of journal entries and then announce them to others At some point I need to take a cut on ideas4
