generally, i agreed.
whether it's effective and worth it for kernel modules specifically, i'm just 50/50 about that. practically my lazyness decides in this draw...

--- Quote from: nick65go on February 26, 2023, 01:58:18 PM --- NO. I am just a simple person with a computer, fooling around. I can understand the complicated qemu command-line syntax.

then i see no benefit in xen. if you know qemu stick with that, there's no reason to switch to anything else.

yep! i do the same.

like, safety is somewhat related also to the duration of the exposure. hard to beat the security gains if you can afford unmounting, then unloading the crypto keys, or even better, physically disconnecting a disk. and only connecting it in the rare case where you need it.

if you have *multiple* disks, you can connect just a small subset of disks at a time. the more granular you go with rarely used data, the more secure is everything else (because it raises the probability that it's unavailable during an attack).

not much computer engineering involved. just end-user behavior.

less scripts with comments

... more shell,... script's in plaintext documents
