IISc is asking students' for Aadhaar again. This time, it is for NAD (National Academic Depository) registration. Guess what, they have shared a public spreadsheet with 4000 students' details (name, dept, gender, caste/category, etc.), with a blank column for Aadhaar. They expect people to enter their Aadhaar IDs in this public spreadsheet! Such is the deplorable state of !india 's premier research institute.
I've been a SysAdmin for about 30 years, I've installed OSes from the days when you had to format a hard drive with debug G=C800:5, I've installed, destroyed, repaired and recovered Netware, Windows and Linux systems. But flashing a phone or tablet scares the willies out of me.
Hi @EineBiene: The groups I created are all at http://sn.jonkman.ca/groups/ There are currently no plans to move them; my https://gs.jonkman.ca/ instance is too flakey right now -- I can't subscribe to my own groups, for example. Unfortunately, I believe there are also other !GNUsocial users who cannot subscribe to groups on sn.jonkman.ca, so something does need to be done.
