I thought I had hit reply on your other comment going into more detail (whoops!).

Like I did in this example, ask if people are open to feedback (if you’re the one giving it).

Often when I am training groups on how to work together, I always try and frame feedback as a gift.

If someone is giving you feedback, they are genuinely trying to help you grow - and that’s a gift. The issue here though, is not everyone is a good gift giver - and we can’t control that.

What we do have control over is how we recieve gifts - often all you need to do is say thank you. Don’t explain why you’re not going to use this feedback (if you plan not to incorporate it). Other than clarifying the feedback to better understand how to incorporate it, saying thank you is the best way to go about it.

As far as delivering feedback I always say “if you can choose to be anything in this world why choose anything other than kind.”

It is important to state that “being kind” doesn’t mean not having the difficult conversations or delivering difficult feedback - you can still do that without being cruel. Being assertive isn’t being aggressive.

A bit rambly but if you’re ever working with folx on delivering feedback, I’ve found that presenting these frameworks with it ste super helpful

Are you open to some additional thoughts / feedback on feedback / constructive criticism?

I think someone was making something similar but was a two handed thing that attarched to magnetic hip clips.

curious as to your recommendations?

seems like all the links for the paper are dead…

100% they’re awesome - and you can install your own apps on the instance, probably could use it for hosting a site if wanted.

I set up a foundry instance on mine.

whatbox is awesome and their support team is top notch.

lots you can do with their system.

most security planning workshops start with this statement:

“it is unreasonable as well as impossible to try and protect against every threat out there. there is no magic app, website, service that will solve everything. security is a mindset, and taking the time to understand what you want to protect and why will serve you better than any application.”

regarding privacy concerns - is mailbox.org a problem as Germany belongs to the 14 eyes treaty?

is there a specific order in which these are supposed to be read? I feel lost as AF, but dig the art and a lot of the different pieces as I come across them.

they look interesting but I can’t find out anything about where they have their servers located.

That’s right feels a bit silly now

I can’t find anything specific on their data security - do you have a link to that?

I’m just teaching myself - maybe good practice.

I have concerns about mailbox being under jurisdiction of 14eyes.

So any concern about mailbox.Org severs being in Berlin and Germany being apart of the 14eyes alliance?

Tuta also doesn’t easily support pgp and has no plans to integrate it. “we encrypy our stuff for you, trust us bro”

Well the company’s board has a choice on who represents them and what their values are as a whole.

If the company thought that this person (CEO on this case) doesn’t represent their values effectively they can remove them.

Yeah, long term I do want to self host and I’ve now been doing reading on next cloud.

I used to flash to cyanogenos on a galaxy2 back in the day and I’m looking at different ROMs to try out now (suggestions welcome).

That being said, I’m new to Linux and haven’t done much home server stuff, but am motivated to learn more.

XD The HOAs are out to get folx

Totally fair point there.

I do want to move to a more secure OS for my mobile device, and I’m just in the babysteps of understanding the wide world of the Linux ecosystem.
