Agreed. But we are talking encryption and why there isn't open source algorithms for iCloud. I find it funny as when you submit iOS apps to the App Store they specifically require encryption standards and no "roll your own algos&#

Frankly, you're confusing hashing algorithms, encryption and "IDs". Authentication: "Prove you are you" (hash functions) Secure Storage: "Keep this secret but let me get it back later" (encryption) Identif

Well, the real problem is iCloud Keychain is essentially a "black box" system. Apple does use AES encryption in various parts of their security architecture, as documented in their security white papers. But we can't confirm

Best practices for password storage use one-way hash functions (like bcrypt, Argon2, or PBKDF2) rather than encryption algorithms like AES. AES is not one way and in theory you can generate 2nd, 3rd, etc. master keys to decrypt. :)

Well designed, written and efficient...middleware. It's a wrapper around linux and a middle between my OS and my app! A spade is a spade. There are cons beyond performance. For example Docker complexity - you need to learn a new filety

I have no idea what I am talking about? Docker is literally adding middleware between your Linux system and app. That doesn't necessarily mean there aren't Pro's to Docker, but one Con to Docker is - it's absolutely over

Exactly! This person gets it. Oh, and not only build their app, they can take it a step further and setup the entire new vps and app building in one simple script!

Option 1: python3 -m venv venv > source project/venv/bin/activate Option 2: use Poetry How is this different than a Dockerfile that is creating the venv? Just add it to beginning, just like you would on localhost. But that

Serious question for you, why use Docker at all? You can just get rid of the clunky overhead. You mentioned Python backend, so literally just replicate build script, directly in VPS: "pip install requirements.txt" > python main

So the question I have is, who are these LP's and why are they demanding funds go into "sexy" ideas? I mean it probably depends on the LP and what is their vision. Not all apples are red, come in many varieties and some for c
