@Pesala said in Vivaldi "Cloud storage/drive":

Archive your documents with 7-Zip before uploading them to the cloud. Encrypt them too, if they contain sensitive information.

I have two daily scheduled automated backups. One backs up everything to external hard disks. The other backs up mostly text files (no music or video) to four different clouds currently:

OneDrive
Dropbox
Sync (zero-knowledge client-side encryption)
Filen (zero-knowledge client-side encryption)

This second backup zips up folders and auto-encrypts those I deem sensitive before backing up. So, in the cases of Sync and Filen they are double encrypted.

@omnisambles said in Vivaldi "Cloud storage/drive":

Internxt is another newer provider but although they seem to have strong backing it's having a pretty rocky start.

I tried Internxt a few years ago, as I was intrigued by its decentralised storage. Initially, I tested it with one file and it lost it! So I didn't bother with it after that. But, I assume by now, things will have moved on?

@jane-n Thank you much! I've done as you said.

@Tchelows I guess the alternative would be instead of doing monthly, set some money aside and just do one donation per year of a slightly higher amount, hopefully having more than the minimum

@jane-n said in Add passkey support for Vivaldi accounts:

@RickBryan
Take a look at the Help page with step-by-step instructions here: https://help.vivaldi.com/services/account/two-factor-authentication/.

@jane-n This isn't related to 2FA/MFA (what the linked article covered). Passkeys are an alternative to entering passwords at all. It's akin to using SSH keys for authentication instead of a password.

Browsers like Edge support this and Windows encourages using passkeys or biometrics over passwords. Here is what Indeed (the job searching site) has as more info on passkeys:

On supported browsers and devices, you can use a passkey to sign in to your Indeed account using your fingerprint, face, or screen lock. Once a passkey is set up, you won't need a password next time you sign in on this device.

Passkeys are stored locally on your device. Indeed will never receive any biometric data or other information related to your passkey.

Sorry, there are so many cheap mail servers (around 5 EUR per month) where you can have your own domains.
For Vivaldi too much work and costs to administrate and act as a hoster.

And giving users own domains would imply much more legal contract work for Vivaldi.

@DoctorG ahem... me romanian. me gud vis inglish (nah jk, but im rlly good with english)

@cstrickjacke ah oh. Well, I sync my password vault with syncthing, so the extension is using that data. For regular Vivaldi data, use Vivaldi sync.

Updated.
Thanks for bringing to this to our attention. 🙂

    Thanks for clarification.
    But what I mention is primarily on "login.vivaldi.net":
    Probably not part of the forum?
    (and the avatar thing seemingly affects more than forum)

Thank you

Very nice that several people like an even better combination of forum and 'Vivaldi Mastodon'.

😂 😀

@Catweazle Check out Venice.ai. It's from a hard-core privacy source.

@barbudo2005 That was called democracy in ancient Greece I guess 🙂
