flashuon Netbird – Open Source Zero Trust Networking

I have tried multiple different solutions of so called "zero trust networking". My personal favourite one is Netbird but.. it lacks one feature: switching between multiple setups (networks). I am helping to maintain some startups and it would be just nice to quickly change (or even better: have access to multiple at once!) networks.

flashuon Ask HN: What do you look for in a work monitor?

Hi, I am using 2x LG DualUp monitors on factory stands in side-by-side mode. Great for coding, ops and browsing, not great for watching videos and gaming due to proportions and 60Hz refresh rate. I have switched from 1st gen 49" Samsung G9, which was very good but lacked vertical space.

flashuon Ask HN: The way to encrypt and protect sensitive data in database

Gosh, thank You for such elaborative reply! I will definitely dive into the idea of intercepting the query in before/after approach.

flashuon Ask HN: The way to encrypt and protect sensitive data in database

Hi, I am trying to encrypt at rest. I would love to use AWS and KMS, but I won't be using public cloud for that :( The app will run on VPS-like setup (DigitalOcean or similar)

flashuon Ask HN: The way to encrypt and protect sensitive data in database

Thank You for the reply!

I think I've made some mind shortcuts and now I see them after reading Your questions.

The thing is that I have to access data stored in the encrypted database/storage because it must be accessible by an application process without any interaction from the user. Data will be decrypted on-demand by background worker using the key which I have to store somewhere and which must be secured somehow and available only for that process.

So far, my idea is flying over solutions like ionCube / Zend Encoder to encrypt/encode/secure the source code of the application or only parts of it to prevent exposing the logic responsible for getting out the data among with keys themselves.

Can I call it: poor-man encryption? :-)
