Don't stick your credit card in crazy seems to apply >:D --- End quote --- If I had a name like Limor Fried I'd probably make up a silly name too. :popcorn: |

--- Quote from: Sal Ammoniac on March 07, 2022, 11:51:53 pm ---Newly created repositories on Github are public by default. IMO new repositories should be private by default and the creator should have to tick the Public box to make them public, rather than the other way around. This sounds safer to me and is less likely to inadvertently divulge material that should never have been made public. --- End quote --- Gitlab does this, unlimited private repos. I think Github used to charge for private repos, thats why they defaulted to everything being public. |

A classic case of "fruit" spoiling rather than maturing. >:D |

The last time I met a girl I was thinking of going on a date with I googled the phone number she gave me just to see if it was legit or came up with anything sketchy. I was kind of shocked when one of the first links was a page that had her full name, address, when she bought her house and how much she paid for it, the names of family members, the name of the company she works for, the name of her ex, and various other stuff. Searching for myself pretty easily finds similar information except for my phone number. It's really kind of creepy how much information is out there now and how hard it is to prevent it from getting spread around. |

I'll probably have it for ten more years last time I talked to them. Since then I've been in breaches from a credit reporting service and a big phone company breach not too long ago. Who knows how many others that are unknown. :-\ I figure by now any thief that wants to go after me can get my records at will. I just hope that because of the sheer numbers of records out there I'll slip by. :-DD |
