Many of these seem to support GP's comment.

I'd want to verify the existing data and maybe add some data once a year or less.

I'm planning a few encrypted long-term backups (ie. stick it in a temperature controlled safe for a few years).

What's the best medium for this? SSD or HDD?

Instead of downvotes, I'm curious what evidence there is on either side of this claim.

90%+ of Alphabet employee donations go to one party [1]. So, that affiliation.

> including its bandwidth limiting schedule

Can you share more about this please?

The biggest (related) issue I run into running rclone from home is hitting the request speed limit on Digital Ocean Spaces. I frequently get the "Slow down!" error when backing up a bunch of small (<1mb) files.

So the laser beam of outrage has reached Signal. We knew this day was coming.

There are people out there who fundamentally believe that no one should be able to think or speak free from their scrutiny.

Oh, I think we're referring to different things. I thought you were referring to this:

Wherein people posted views from the other side of the glass claiming they were trying to count the votes in secret or something. Which was ironic, given all the news crews and observers on the other side of the glass documenting the same thing.

I agree that its BS to keep observers so far back that they cannot meaningfully observe the counting.

The lawsuit filing (PDF) is very specific: https://hamiltonps.app.box.com/s/fnrmhzypvs5g6pdsj1dp1y8v1ga...

You can just sort of skim that. He made dozens of fact-specific allegations over the course of months (ie. not carefully phrased).

Are you referencing the barriers that were filmed... from inside the room... by the dozens of national media crews and party observers? Those barriers?

I'm almost certain that you're concern trolling in this thread.

However, if anyone else is actually interested in an explanation of this incident from the people in charge of the election, check out this 60 Minutes clip:

Oops, sorry. I didn't even notice that it can be read that way too.

This is plainly false.

Neither of them worked directly on the Reality Winner story, especially including handling the leaked material.

I'm interested in the Apple Watch but I'm very wary of the distracting properties.

Are there good features to help lower the distraction level? Do you find it useful (and worth the price) for the passive health tracking stuff?

A Facebook employee making claims about privacy or ethics makes me immediately suspicious of those claims.

Really weird tone in their blog post [1].

It's mostly "sorry that you don't understand how things work". I've seen this before with these privacy-invading megacorps. They're tone deaf and defensive. Maybe they're worried that people are catching on and the tides are shifting.

This reminds me of someone saying that eventually Amazon will just start sending you things and charging you for them with no intervention on your end.

It'll just happen to be what you needed at the right time.
