A selling point for business-level is that they can do whatever OKR they want on top of that details. To make any employee dance whatever business can imagine. Any amount of Tb seems OK until it helps selling "Business" tier github.

I wish using multiple identities was at least some level of foolproof though. I have to be careful to configure my local copies of repos to use the correct username, masked email, and PGP signing key. It would be super handy if git had a global config of multiple identities and if I could have it prompt me to select one either when I clone a repo or the first time I push to it.

What's up Mulder! This is deep throat speaking

~/.gitconfig:

```

[includeIf "gitdir:~/Personal/"]

        path = ~/personal.gitconfig

~/personal.gitconfig:

```

[user]

        email = {personal email address}

And you can have arbitrary numbers of "profiles" like this, as long as each is in their own directory.

In the "use your real name" corner - people argue that using an anonymous handle means that there is no credibility, the lack of consequence means that people can be /more/ disingenuous and provide bad faith comments.

In the "be anonymous" corner - people argue that what you say or do on the net now shouldn't affect you in 25 years time (there are multiple examples of politicians, or public figures who have said unwise things on the internet, only to have their careers ripped apart decades later)

For me (obviously) I have chosen the anonymous handle - because in the past I have had employers contacted because I hold different political views to some nasty people, I've had my house marked by them, my life was threatened, and some veiled threats about my children. (libertarians are very anti free speech when the speech is anti their house of cards)

A stock car driver had his career ruined for things is father said long ago.

> libertarians are very anti free speech when the speech is anti their house of cards

It's sad that that occurred. A major part of libertarianism is free speech. But I'm sure you know that left-wing governments prefer to send any dissenters to the gulag.

Whataboutism?

Honestly if all you really have is "but those other bad people are bad too" you have nothing at all.

I generalized left wing government as bad, sure, and I can cite many examples of it. The USSR, Pol Pot, etc.

And it's hard because there's so many ways someone could make connections that aren't immediately obvious. For example, I used to have my home's IP address set as a subdomain of the same one I use for email (for VPNing in). But later I thought about it and realized that anyone could easily look at the DNS records for my domain and know more than I really want them to.

I've been on the web since before GNU/Linux, I'm not unfamiliar with the olden days.

You'd say you were around when you dialed into BBSes.... Like those who actually were on the "web" before gnu/Linux.... Do you actually understand what you claimed with that?

Quick edit: just in case it's not clear enough

Society frequently has norms and unwritten rules that we usually follow. Not every rule needs to be written down as law.

While on github there is no rule like that.

Doesn't make it any less creepy.

At least in this situation the archived data is public.
