@bob @Tlacaelel Indeed. Like Freedombone ;) But even then, only because you have physical control of it. If your always-on node is to be hosted by a third party, I would limit its functionality solely to the replication of public and/or end-to-end encrypted data and without ever having the secret key. So the always-on node, in contrast to privileged servers on the Web, must be less privileged than nodes you control. At least that’s how I’m designing #Hypha.

Bob Mottram ? ☕ ✅ (bob@soc.freedombone.net)'s status on Monday, 21-Jan-2019 12:21:21 CET Bob Mottram ? ☕ ✅ @aral @Tlacaelel Right. And maybe I should also make this clearer in the documentation. Freedombone is designed for a threat model where the server is located at your place of residence. If it's run within a data center then this could be quite risky, and isn't recommended. Aral Balkan repeated this.
