Actually the entire whois database is "privacy protected" because of GPDR (if my memory is correct)

Thankfully, because I used to get postal scams for the hundred or so domains I used to host.

You good for tinfoil bro?

In countries other than the USA there are strict controls on personal information.

The UK/European countries have GPDR for example.

I was correcting the user's "plan9" comment.

It's a port of a collection of plan 9 userspace to a non-9 operating system.

Perhaps you've now learnt something

Yes, not plan9.

I despair at your (and GGP) lack of comprehension

Not really. British governments have always been increasingly authoritarian.

The stated reason is to stop illegals working.

Unfortunately we have an ID for working, called a national insurance number. We literally can't get legally paid without it.

So a National ID card ... Is irrelevant. You still need this number for benefits, etc.

I've got an NI number, a driving license and a passport. Not to mention a NHS number.

I don't need another form of identification to link together everything about me so my government can leak everywhere.

Sorry, you're not trying hard enough to find bad cases of terrible professional software.

Besides, the article reads like a noob using xcode for the first time.

True.

I'm in rural UK. Blessed with fast fibre. However if the power goes out, it's a proper blackout. I'm slowly sorting out the ups situation along with nut

When the power goes out or fibre dies I cannot rely on 4/5G as they die also, so starlink is the only option

Not S3, but I use longhorn to store persistent data on my clusters.

Sometimes you'll need admin skills, but only if you spread your cluster out over availability zones or poor connections
