Best practice is not to use raw credentials on the command line because it exposes them in process listings and shell history files.

While it’s true that does commonly occur, it seems even more likely to me that Musk is just bullshitting to justify throwing Ukraine further under the bus.

What a pretext convenient coincidence.

📺 Why the Democratic Party CANNOT and WILL NOT be Reformed

I got on Lemmy and expressed how I wished that Hamas had tried non-violent disobedience and protest instead, and somebody showed me that the last time that was tried (and it was tried fairly recently), the IDF just laughed and killed/injured a fuckton of non-violent protestors.

For those unfamiliar: Gaza’s Great March of Return protests explained

Who’s enforcing whom to comply with what now?

Feels like Russian sympathizers infiltrated the DNC

Yes, in absolute terms you’re correct.

Reminder also that centrist Democrats will risk their party losing to far-right Republican than winning to a progressive Democrat.

How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately “elevated” Donald Trump with its “pied piper” strategy

Other messages published by the whistleblowing organization show how, while the Clinton camp was facilitating the rise of Trump, it was systematically undermining the campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s left-wing opponent.

Leaked emails from the Democratic National Committee show that the organization, which is supposed to be bound to impartiality, sabotaged Sanders’ insurgent presidential campaign, which had mobilized millions of people and inspired a massive grassroots movement.

Not a likely scenario but still possible. If one is serious about not getting “doxxed at any cost,” consider Mullvad browser.

1. Don’t give your email address, or use a throwaway one when you join.
2. Pick a username that’s unrelated to any others you’ve used.
3. Use a VPN.
4. Don’t reveal personal details in posts & comments.

I guess you didn’t get satisfactory answers from your first post, but you still haven’t clarified what you actually mean by your question. All Lemmy servers run Lemmy, so in some senses of the term, they’re all roughly equally private, which is to say not very, because all posts & comments are publicly scrapable, except for private messages.

Don’t bother: this person self-identifies as a horseshoe theorist. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy.

Communism is just Fascism rebranded

What else can one expect from an instance that explicitly bans “tankie shit”?

How are they going to go to concentration camps that don’t exist?

It’s not like there are no fascists in Russia. There’s Aleksandr Dugin (who people keep absurdly claiming is Putin’s right-hand man), and there was Western liberal darling Alexei Navalny.

I don’t think progressives would have much success, because I think the Republican political machine would rally to outspend them in the primary, just as the Democratic political machine does.
