2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

iCloud has an Advanced Data Protection feature, that when enabled, makes oneβs personal devices the only place encryption keys are stored. Unless you live in the UK that is.
I trust no closed-source encryption mechanism. If I had to use any kind of cloud backup solution, I would first encrypt the files locally with a mechanism that I fully control.
I have been thinking of doing such thing to keep backups of my home Nextcloud server.
Borgbackup solves this problem very well. It's what I use to make encrypted remote backups of my Nextcloud.
The funny thing is that after a problem with iCloud many people foun their "deleted" things to show up as if they weren't ever deleted...i wonder how much it's secure
Or you could encrypt it yourself and not trust a private company's word.
Anyone remember when a bunch of celebrities had their iCloud information and data leaked?
Or that Apple has been caught helping the NSA and other alphabet soup government agencies with their keys?
iCloud didn't leak that data. It was all done via phishing. Apple responded by forcing everyone to use two factor authentication. This was 11 years ago.
This sort of histrionic nonsense is always pushed by people who use Android.
