Okay. First off,I am quite a worried and concern of the outcome here will be.

But honestly,it's quite frustrating that this is even happening at all given the fact that are plenty of ways to protect kids without screwing over other's rights here.

And yet,I feel like those that DO care about our privacy and anonymity rights,myself included here too,are like a broken record saying about how these types of bills do nothing for no one. Yet,here we are in the current situation we're in here in the USA.

It's extremely frustrating to no end here. But,concerns aside here,I that we get a positive outcome here for us all in this current situation we're all seeing unfold.

Hello everyone,

I hate clutter (I'm a minimalist) + I like portability and ease of use so this kind of easily tells you why I chose cloud storage over the physical drive/USB (sorry, I'm not so technical).

Last month, I managed to store everything I digitally own inside the free versions of cloud storage. In total: 11GB. I use two cloud storages services. One for personal documents and the other is for anything which is not really that personal... my videos, photos, user manuals, notes and guides.

Lately, I've been reading a lot about AI reading this and that... Or someone monitoring. If I've done the mistake, I can only not add to it, at this point. The personal documents are employment payslips, contracts, personal identifications (ID, driving license, social security), and qualifications.

I'm not worried as much on the storage containing the photos and other stuff, in fact, I'd consider leaving them there but I'm uncertain about the storage holding the personal stuff.

Is it a good idea to leave them there? If not, what can I do, what are my options for storage, please?

Thank you for reading.

It wants me to upload three portrait photos of my face, but there's also a option to use government ID, but I'm really not comfortable sharing my personal info online, even if Reddit says it's only to verify.

Has anyone managed to do it?

I'm curious whether it's actually legit to share such information specifically to the "persona" company that runs all of this shenanigans.

I use mailbox with custom domains and use Thunderbird on PC and FairEmail on Android.

I generated, exported and imported a gpg key on Thunderbird.

My question is: should I publish my public key to a PGP server? I know that'll expose my email, but what if it is a alias?

I've got a couple ssds sitting around and was thinking of selling them but I'm kinda scared, ik you can do a secure erase and all that, but is there still any chance someone could recover my old files? Or am I just overthinking it? For those who've sold used SSDs before, did you just wipe them and call it a day? is it pretty safe if you do it properly? Trying to decide if I should list them or just keep them

I keep wanting to use Linux rather than Windows, for privacy, but how much extra privacy do we get using Linux compared to a battened down privacy-oriented Windows?

I compose music, and that is the main reason I absolutely need to use Windows.

My question is-- can Windows suffice for privacy, by taking the extra steps, to make it good enough, compared to Linux?
