We use `sops`[1] to do this and it works really well.
There is a Google Cloud KMS keyring (for typical usage) and a GPG key (for emergency/offline usage) set up to handle the encryption/decryption of files that store secrets for each application's deployment. I have some bash scripts that run on CI which are essentially just glorified wrappers to `sops` CLI to generate the appropriate `.env` file for the application, which is put into the container by the `Dockerfile`.
Applications are already configured to read configuration/secrets from a `.env` file (or YAML/JSON, depending on context), so this works pretty easily and avoids depending on secrets being set in the `ENV` at build time.
You can also, of course, pass any decrypted values from `sops` as arguments to your container deployment tool of choice (e.g. `helm deploy foo --set myapp.db.username=${decrypted_value_from_sops}`) and not bundle any secrets at build time at all.
The moral, legal and technical imperative to protect this data is 100% on the company storing this data. Even if the onus of protecting sensitive personal information were passed on to the performers making a living from this site, they would still need to show their full legal name on a redacted ID (which makes finding the address trivial).
The owners of this site should be ordered to pay restitution for the damages it has caused to all the performers impacted by this leak. If there are no consequences for things like this, companies will continue to be poor custodians of sensitive data that we entrust to them. The most vulnerable people in society will, as usual, suffer the greatest harm.
I agree, but both the Equifax case and the lack of enforcement of the GDPR (still no sign of the million-dollar fines or even investigations) shows that the powers that be clearly have no incentive to actually enforce this (well at least until some high-profile politician's dirty laundry gets leaked).
A lot of concepts that originated in plan 9 have been widely adopted by modern unix-like operating systems, most notably the /proc file system, so in a certain sense I would say that it was a successful project.
Lack of applications, drivers and compelling use cases ultimately caused the project itself to fail. It was also competing against operating systems with huge commercial backing that already had deeply entrenched market share.
Meh. That is research from the same group that was thinking about the problems with Unix and could be argued is an early expression of some of the ideas that became plan9. Seems a little like saying Linux predates Linux since the terminal code that Linus based his first release on existed before he trashed his FS.
Presumably because they do not want huge segments of the human population to die because they are unable to afford access to the literally most basic necessity for life on this planet.
Funny thing. There's a research topic called virtual water that focuses on the trade of water through food or other "products". Look it up! It's really interesting! It talks about the trade of water most commonly through food products! (How transporting an apple from California to Pennsylvania means you're exporting and importing water!)
It's a new topic that's only really taken shape and impact in the last two decades!
Maintaining your own email infrastructure is a security nightmare on its own right, you are probably better off using Gmail and just GPG encrypting everything unless you really know what you are doing and have a surplus of free time.
Amphetamines (used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy) and Benzodiazepines (used to treat anxiety disorders) are both well-known to be addictive. Benzodiazepines in particular can have fatal withdrawal symptoms if a patient quits them cold turkey.
SSRIs and SNRIs both have horrible withdrawal symptoms and can take months for patients to taper off if they decide to quit or change their meds.
SSRIs and SNRIs do not really meet the threshold for being considered addictive, however, since they do not induce any kind of euorphia, intoxication or immediate relief of depressive/anxious feelings.
Amphetamines and Benzodiazepines have a much higher potential for abuse, which is why prescriptions for them are carefully monitored by drug enforcement agencies.
In my experience, the sense of "enlightenment" that came from experiments with psychedelic drugs arise from the realization that a very small quantity of chemicals (a dose of LSD is measured in millionths of a gram) can have such a profound effect on your perception of reality and sense of self-awareness.
That said, psychedelic drugs do not inherently bring the user to any kind of spiritual discovery or intellectual awakening. The path to enlightenment requires one to make the conscious choice to continue down it on a daily basis and the self-discipline to not get stuck in the murk and mire.
Drugs are just one of many tools available to facilitate meditations on the nature of being.
Unsurprisingly, however, hallucinogenic drugs are likely more often used as a distraction from reality. This is certainly a valid use-case for many people, but it does not have anything to do with enlightenment.
Yeah, when people ask me what LSD is like, I tell them it's like those decals people put on large windows so that birds won't hit them. Your perception of reality is mediated by the lens of your senses and mind. The drug distorts that lens, allowing you to see it and study it.
