    Move your money to a community bank or credit union. Not only will you get better service, but you'll be letting these large banks (many of which the US tax payers recently bailed out) know that their lack of customer service and other abusive practices wont be tolerated.

  4. Re:Is This Secure? on Wall St. Trading Servers To Power Off-Hour Clouds? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I could see this being useful as some sort of "private" cloud during off hours (i.e. selling time to banks for batch and accrual operations...etc), but allowing the unwashed masses access to the underlying infrastructure of something as important as financial trading just seems like a recipe for a security disaster.

  18. Duplicity, OpenVPN and a friend or family member on Coppola Loses All His Data · · Score: 1
    I've been doing this for about a year, and it's working pretty well for my needs:


    I setup my parents windows PC with an OpenVPN connection to my house and an FTP server (only listening on the TAP interface). I use Duplicity to do an GPG encrypted incremental backup to the FTP server over the VPN.

    Duplicity uses encrypted TAR files for the backup, so your internal filenames...etc are never visible, which is an added benefit if you wanted to do this to a hosting provider..etc. Depending on the amount/size of your files, the first backup can be large. To get around that, I made the first backup to an external hard drive, and brought it with me on a visit (rinse and repeat a couple of times a year for good measure).

    I haven't tried to restore a single file over the network, but have tested a full restore (copying the files back to an external). That being the case, I'm not sure I'd recommend this solution for an quasi on-line backup system. However, it does work quite well for just getting your data off-site (securely and incrementally), and since my parents live about 60 miles away, I'm getting a bit of geographical diversity as well.
