  • They could already have access to your emails, because… you’re running their OS. They can slip in any code they want and run it with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM-level privileges (comparable to root-level privileges on Linux systems).

    If you run any other OS you’ll also have to trivially trust the makers of that OS with root-level privileges (or comparable).

    (Personally I don’t believe that MS is scanning all your local emails, but they certainly have the technical possibilities to do so very trivially.)

    Interesting blog!

    Clicked on your NAS article (one of the first linked ones) and spotted an error… you write that Synology NAS boxes don’t use standard RAID, but they do. They have official docs up on how to hook them up to a standard Linux system for disaster recovery (it’s just Btrfs or ext4 on mdadm RAID).

    Probably not super relevant for you or most readers, but just thought I’d point it out :)
