Much of this could have been avoided if the US never invaded Iraq. If only I had a time machine…

Ehh. Lots of problems could be fixed by that, but not really this one.

The problem is that when you compress before you encrypt, the file size becomes a source of data about the contents. If an attacker has control of part of the data - say - a query string, they can use that to repeatedly add things to your data and see how the size changes as a result.

Technically you would be fine to compress the encrypted data, but encrypted data doesn’t compress well so it’s not really worth your time

Don’t compress encrypted data since it opens you up to attacks like CRIME, unless it’s at rest and static data.

I can vouch for the horde, it’s addicting to watch your little point counter go up after you’ve put something out there and seeing people use something you are hosting.

It’s awesome to put a computer out onto the internet and have real life people getting real benefit within minutes. This is a way you can do it, and there’s so much demand that you are helping people by putting your machine out there.

However, I will give you a fair warning, it will be used for porn. Not entirely, but it will happen.

While yes something else is going to move to the top, it’s still awesome to play with it today you should because it’s really important to see people learning how to run this stuff at home
