@drwho @doctorow Captain Obvious time: one of the many great reasons to encrypt server (and any other) harddrives is that when decommissioning data removal is dead simple. Just erase the header (LUKS or whatever) and you're done.
That's even more important when a harddrive fails. You might not have a chance to erase data from it. If encrypted, (almost) no need to worry.
Somehow people miss that benefit. I find that surprising.

@Shamar @Wolf480pl @lain so you're now doing a No True Scotsman, and some Sealioning, at the same time.
Cool beans!
But I don't think there's anything else this conversation can achieve.

The idea that if someone can't get away with being a jerk then he'll get suissive is the quintessential toxic masculinity
You can be effective without being a jerk

@Wolf480pl @lain @rysiek There are many highly successful open source projects whose leaders don't tell people to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! when they say something incorrect

@Shamar @Wolf480pl @lain and once again, they are working, have worked, and are requested by the minorities that you claim do not get protected by them.
I honestly don't know how to make it clearer.

And look at how many 'partners' are greyed out.
Shame on you NewYorker.
Seriously someone has to start spraying fines.
