  • Exploit in Airmail 3 for macOS can send a user's data to attackers by simply opening an em...

    Just shows why its important to have something like Little Snitch acting as a last line of defence. I use AirMail (although it makes me so mad every time I try and search because its so slow and clunky and rarely returns an email I'm looking for), but I have a rule in Little Snitch which blocks all outgoing connections except for the mail servers and a few key domains I'm happy to get images from.

  • How to set up Backblaze to back up your Mac, and why you should do it now

    I moved to Backblaze when I was forced off Crashplan and I've been nothing but disappointed at almost every step of the way. Don't assume everything is backed up correctly, and don't assume it will be quick or easy to recover in the event that something goes wrong. The restore process is painfully atrocious and makes it almost impossible to find the correct version of a file to restore and before you can even restore you sometimes have to create snapshots, produce zip files and then download and if you need any urgent recovery just forget it. I am using the Backblaze app on Macs and within Virtual Machines (Parallels) and its slow and sometimes really heavy CPU and is always behind the actual state of files so if you have a serious crash don't expect to have the latest version of all files. I am not saying this hypothetically - its all based on a laptop which had intermittent issues before dying and corrupting my VM. It does not do an offsite backup of Time Machine, in fact I actually had my local Time Machine on an external drive as well as my NAS corrupted from having Backblaze attempt to back it up to B2. I had much more confidence in Crashplan, and it saved me a couple of times. 

    Now I'm moving everything across to Arq which I had used in the past but because cost prohibitive due to data costs, but now can get unlimited data with Google so its great.
