Where did you buy them though? First thing I thought of was fakes, which are sold pretty much everywhere online.

I know you said official, but did you actually check that?

No, but the actual study does. Birth outcome is defined as:

• weight at birth
• gestational age (i. e. how long the pregnancy lasted)
• if the birth weight was below 2500g
• if it was a preterm birth, i. e. the gestational age was less than 37 weeks

The study focuses on first - born children and corrects for multiplicity (e. g. twins), which are a lot more common under medically assisted reproduction.

The highly abbreviated conclusion is that under these circumstances, the previously observed poorer birth outcomes largely disappear.

Naturally, this result says nothing about the later developments of the affected children. Nothing positive, nothing negative. Nothing.

I see a lot of people using restic here. However, restic has no support for object locking. Depending on the backup source, an attack on the storage location itself is probable (e. g. via ransomware).

I think rustic is currently discussing implementing support for object locking, and Kopia has it already.

None of the solutions have had an official audit yet, and at least Kopia defaults to AES-GCM, where I’d really love for an auditor to tell me there are no issues with nonce reuse, but switching to ChaChaPoly-1305 is an option.

If that matters depends a lot on the individual, just something to keep in mind.
