Hey,
I currently have some thoughts about the possibility of using a big external USB SSD as storage device. In my Situation it need to live in both worlds, my main work laptop (Ubuntu based dis.) and on a random desktop with Win11.
Filesystem wise I`m currently thinking of choosing exFAT because of the simplicity of the FS. Another option would be NTFS and just mount it in Linux, but 2/3 of the time I will use it on my Linux system. So any downside here?
Data is mostly some Media stuff and ML Stuff I experimenting with, so could be very large files (llm models).
Is there any downside on using exFAT like reliability? Most sources state that exFAT was developed for mobile media like SD Cards and USB Sticks. In my case it will be a 2TB SSD :p On the other Hand how is the recent implementation of NTFS into Linux?
And the final thoughts is about Encryption; This seems unfortunately the actual issue, I want to have a partition on the drive which is encrypted somehow but can be mounted in both worlds. Is there a easy way to mount a LUKS on Windows? Or alternatives which lives in both worlds?
I do not need military grade ultra encryption, there are no state or company secrets involved, I just want to have a security measure when the device is lost / stolen that one can not just mount it.
I was thinking about maybe just using a VeraCrypt partition on it.
Thanks in Advance for some comments on my thoughts.
Hey, that were exavyomy thoughts after reading it. Let's speak more clear.
A group use the protocol to setup a Plattform to distribute illegal stuff, child porn, drug marketplace, Warez...
Sure it might be the "bad protocol" I news and people / industry is trying to blame and block it. But because of the decentralized structuring like the onion net it is hard to.
Another aspect which should be thought about is government in repressive countries. Iran, North Korea, China, Russia... Name it.
You could block the protocol but how could it be by design setup to make it actually hard for NGFW to just recognize the package by header and filter it. Didn't check in detail but hope the implement some mechanics to make this hard.
