I feel like this might be a giant gaping security risk.

So is pretty much all of the cloud services the average user already subscribes to. People still use them though.

Agreed. This is especially bad, though, because if it’s compromised they basically have hardware-level access to your machine. Unless you’re using encrypted swap, and I’m not sure how standard that is.

Well, assuming you’ve already gone through the effort to write a custom kernel module to offload your swap pages to Google Drive, it doesn’t seem like that much of a stretch to have it encrypt the data before transmitting it.

Obviously you should set up device mapper to encrypt the gdrive device then put the swap on the encrypted mapper device.

If your kernel isn’t using 90% of your CPU resources, are you really even using it to it’s full potential? /s
