  • What a shit take calling people dumb for trying to boycott a big tech platform. Having your project primarily on GH including issue tracking etc is in github’s best interest as being “the” code platform.

    You have totally missed the topic. This person is not asking where to host a project. They are asking about how to avoid even downloading a repo from github as if it’s some moral crime.

    Newsflash, 75% of any operating system and it’s utilities are developed and put on github. You cannot avoid it and trying to do so only harms your own access to things. You might as well just cut off your own internet at that point.

    Project developers, not the users downloading from them, have to be the ones to move off of github. That’s how this works.

    So much bad advice in here relating to NVME’s.

    Any NVME worth it’s salt these days is an OPAL adhering self encrypting capable drive for data storage.

    This means in Linux you simply install nvme-cli, then do a mode 2 crypto erase and the crypto key is dropped and all data on the drive becomes unreadable.

    Y’all could stand to get with the times a bit more and learn about what NVME’s actually bring to the table

    For drives with it disabled, mode 1 wipe will have the controller fill all regions with meaningless data to wipe it.
