Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

This mini-rant came on the heels of an interesting twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/591074055018582016

So, it has been an interesting journey, but time to remove git-lfs. Here follows a summary of the approach I used to safely remove git-lfs,

commit & push everything
create a branch, something like fix/remove-lfs
remove hooks git lfs uninstall
remove lfs stuff from .gitattributes (open file, delete content - don't delete the file!)
list all lfs files, git lfs ls-files
run git rm --cached for each file
- if your list is big, copy the contents into a file.txt
make sure you remove the number and asterik on each line, you only want the paths to the files
