Obviously we[1] sympathize with this, since we've been running a swiss location since 2006 - one that has become increasingly busy in the last 3-4 months.<p>However, I personally don't store my data there - even though I am deeply disturbed by the recent revelations and invoke all manner of security precautions in my own digital life.<p>First of all, it appears that intra-US Internet traffic is subject to less scrutiny and open to a much more narrow interpretation of the laws that (supposedly) allow this snooping to happen. Once your traffic leaves the US, the 4A (and other) protections seem to relax significantly. Let's set aside for the moment the bad behavior of other global and national "observers" on the network, which we have to assume are at least as bad as the US NSA ... and let's just concern ourselves with the US side of things. From that perspective, moving your traffic <i>out</i> of the US appears to have a lot of unintended consequences.<p>Second, it really shouldn't matter. SSH is SSH and duplicity is duplicity and storing a fragmented TC container is ... well you get the idea. If I have the right toolset[2], I should be able to store my data on a USB stick that I leave in the NSA lobby every night. You should ask yourself how large and unwieldy your digital life has become if you can't just trust the math.<p>Oh, and also ...[3]<p>[1] rsync.net<p>[2] SSL/PKI is <i>not</i> the right toolset. gmail is not the right toolset. Weirdo walled garden dropbox gdrive non-standard private API garbage is <i>not</i> the right toolset.<p>[3] We support synology devices perfectly, right out of the box, and right through their GUI config. Just saying.
