Ngl, feel like his tier list is based on usability while avoiding big tech.

Tbh even if this tierlist is not the best or great, it still is "good enough". Plus the most important thing is to get tons of people interested.

I rather have "good enough" tier list that reaches to millions of people, then have a perfect tierlist that only reaches out to less than a dozen people.

Because amongst the millions of people who are interested, thousands of them will do their own research into privacy and dig deeper into it.


Plus right now, the biggest weakness of privacy is the fact that our community is too small to make an impact.

Having someone give this much outreach and influence to attract attention towards privacy is a good thing. (well, as long as their advice are on the positive end of the spectrum, and pewdiepie's advise surely is, even if its not perfect)

For me personally, I split up my data into different cloud storage solutions depending on the sensitivity of the data, and frequency of access on the data.


For stuff I need quick access to, I use cryptomator with MEGA. MEGA has a pretty decent Linux App, but recommend using with cryptomancer or any sync-friendly encryption tool so that they can't read the data.

For stuff I infrequently access, I personally just use Proton Drive. Plan to fully switch to using them once they have a functional Linux desktop application that supports syncing.

For more sensitive stuff like SSH Keys or documents that might contain my sensitive personal information, I personally just use VeraCrypt and store the encrypted file on a thumb drive, backing it up to another thumb drive every week.

Agree, comes down to risk acceptance honestly.

I accepted the risk that comes with it. Same with some other aliases on equally hazardous commands.

 

Hi all, hopefully this question isn't out of context.

I'm currently working with OpenText Content Management Solution hosted on AWS using Kubernetes.

Currently facing a challenge related to case sensitivity in our PostgreSQL database.


We are using AWS RDS PostgreSQL v15.0 with OpenText version 24.4.6.

By default, PostgreSQL is case-sensitive, which is causing issues with the content management services; Users are looking for case-insensitive functionality, but our current setup does not support this.

Did want to suggest switching to Oracle Database or Microsoft SQL, as both can be configured for case insensitivity. Unfortunately, due to organization requirements, I cant change it.

I have a friend who also used OpenText Content Services, but he didn't encounter the same issue because he was using Microsoft SQL. Additionally, he was running it on a bare metal Windows server rather than Kubernetes.


I looked through the official Cloud Deployment Guide for OpenText, but I couldn't find any configuration options related to case insensitivity.

Additionally, I explored suggested solutions on StackOverflow regarding case-insensitive queries or collation, but these are not applicable since we do not have control over the SQL queries or table creation in OpenText.


Currently the organization is trying to get developers to customize it on the API level to make it case-insensitive. But was wondering if anyone encountered a similar issue and managed to configure OpenText to be case-insensitive instead.

I replaced rm with trash-put, just in case I realize I need some files that I removed down the line.

alias rm='trash-put'

Official author don't recommend it due to different semantics. But honestly for my own personal use case its fine for me.


Also I like to alias xclip:

alias clippy='xclip -selection clipboard'

# cat things.txt | clippy

Relevant XKCD;

I feel that it is closer to the fact that the communities forgot most beginners are completely new to this in general. They might not even know what exactly a 'browser' is, much less cookies and stuff.

Hence when we try to spoonfeed them information, it comes off as overwhelming and forced.

Agree that there are some extremist, but they mostly act in good faith tbh.


Another thing I noticed is there are more preachers of 'how' than 'why'. Having a beginner go down the route of privacy without giving them a purpose to do so is quite off-putting.
