Or any other tips what we could use to communicate?
Thank you and best of luck in these hard times!
A few minutes ago I saw an automatic Keybase update. I thought that Keybase is not actively developed now.
Should I be worried?
I've been using keybase git repos for stuff that is truly sensitive. Although GitHub has private repos, the data is not encrypted. This means that anyone with the right permissions at GitHub can read my stuff. And my data can be exposed if a configuration goes wrong somewhere on GitHub's end.
However, there is one big downside to using keybase git repos. Namely, they don't work.
I create a new (and thus empty) private repo using keybase GUI, clone it using `git clone ....`, and add a new commit, and then push:
Initializing Keybase... done.
Syncing with Keybase... done.
Counting objects: 213 bytes... done.
Preparing and encrypting objects: (100.00%) 213/213 bytes... done.
Counting refs: 41 bytes... done.
Preparing and encrypting refs: (100.00%) 41/41 bytes... done.
To keybase://private/f0rgot/testing
* [new branch] main -> main
Everything *looks* correct, and the GUI says that the last push was 3 minutes ago. But when I click on "view files", the repository is empty. If I delete the repo on my computer (not on keybase), and then clone it again, the cloned repo is indeed empty, and I get an error:
Cloning into 'testing'...
Initializing Keybase... done.
Syncing with Keybase... done.
Counting: 213 bytes... done.
Cryptographic cloning: (100.00%) 213/213 bytes... done.
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
I am sure I am doing something wrong, but more importantly, once I see that confirmation that the commit and push was successful, I expect my data to be safe. That is not the case, from what I can see.
Lots of folks reporting the issue ( https://github.com/keybase/client/issues ). For me it manifested on two different Ubuntu 18.04 systems as the / mount stopping working. I put instructions in this issue on how to downgrade back to v5.8.1 on Ubuntu/Debian for the time being
