This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

| It should be obvious by now, that the only way to communicate | |

This is a collection of snippets, not a comprehensive guide. I suggest you start with Operational PGP.
Here is an incomplete list of things that are different from other approaches:
- I don't use keyservers. Ever.
- Yes, I use Gmail instead of some bespoke hipster freedom service
This are my cheat sheets that I have compiled over the years. Tired of searching Google for the same things, I started adding the information here. As time went on, this list has grown. I use this almost everyday and this Gist is the first bookmark on my list for quick and easy access.
I recommend that you compile your own list of cheat sheets as typing out the commands has been super helpful in allowing me to retain the information longer.
I've been looking for the best Linux backup system, and also reading lots of HN comments.
Instead of putting pros and cons of every backup system I'll just list some deal-breakers which would disqualify them.
Also I would like that you, the HN community, would add more deal breakers for these or other backup systems if you know some more and at the same time, if you have data to disprove some of the deal-breakers listed here (benchmarks, info about something being true for older releases but is fixed on newer releases), please share it so that I can edit this list accordingly.
- It has a lot of management overhead and that's a problem if you don't have time for a full time backup administrator.
