I was thinking of a similar initiative. To be honest, I am dreaming of a future where a network of small no-profits and co-ops can contribute to a large ecosystem of free software.

I have some devops experience but my main occupation has to do with security. I would be very happy to help especially in the security space.

You can do with another device (i.e. filming the screen). It is of course less convenient, but that's it.

I think each time you hit the search bar is basically plus one (I think it doesn't count if you go "images", from regular results).

Either way, I thought the same about quantity, but using it both from phone and desktops, I never reached 700 in a month. I have the $10 plan with 1000 (as early adopter).

For those looking for alternatives, kagi.com so far is proving awesome. It is a paid search engine, so be aware. Very strong privacy policy, very good search results, very nice features, including custom bangs and the ability to up/downrank specific sites as you please or to have custom rewriting rules (e.g., twitter.com to nitter.net).

I buy my search privacy and that's how I got rid of the last use of Google.

Shared folders for me are an extremely rare use case (in fact, I generally don't even use folders as I rely always on the search), but the way I achieve it is creating collections for the people to share it with. For example my "sister" collection in which I put stuff that I want to share with her, and give her access. Also each user can have their own collection that they can manage, to give access to other people (so far, this has never been the case for me).

Io uso https://lemmyverse.net/ che ha un'interfaccia un po' più moderna e funzionale a mio avviso.

It is more complex than this. The responsibility falls on the one handling the data, but then each other entity who got this data becomes also a data processor, and should be asked to delete the data. In practice it means you should request deletion to every instance who got your content through federation. This is because the instance you use has no control over what others can do, including ignoring the deletion request. I remember Dessalines mentioned that the best way is to edit all the comments. Either way, we should work on developing proper privacy policies and work together with fedi developers to provide a bulletproof privacy experience.

I am waiting for my data export, that way I do get to keep the content

I don't want to enter in the debate, I don't have a horse in this race and I am not particularly informed. This said:

On one side, you have Red Hat, a long time champion of open source software, that has poured billions of dollars into open source development, and which has 1000s of employees who not only on ‘company’ time but in their own time manage, develop, contribute, and create open source code.

This sounds really weird to me. They are a profitable company, "pouring billions" makes it sound like they sacrificed or donated money, while they invested money. They are not a charity, and what they do they do it for financial gains. Growing an ecosystem that eventually will lead to more customers is still in the company's interests.

The fact then that their employees do stuff in their free time seem completely irrelevant to the point, as people are not owned by the company they work for, and none of their merits should transfer to the company they work for during the day.

Would you be able to tell me a little more about your work? Also, what role/path in security would you recommend for a Cloud admin/System Admin?

Well, I started as an IT ops person, I got lucky before the first job was still in a fairly modern environment, and I got introduced to k8s, containers and linux administration (we were running k8s on baremetal). Slowly I moved more and more towards security, specifically infrastructure/platform security, which to be honest, is not too far from a regular Cloud/System admin. However, the big difference is in mindset and priorities, which slide from availability to mostly confidentiality and integrity. My job essentially consists on supporting the security of whatever Kubernetes cluster we run, both managed and on baremetal, with the usual spinkle of network security in the middle, and a strong focus in secure computation (i.e., container security). The actual work can range from research and experimentation, to concrete setup or development of new tooling, to developing standards and guidelines.

(Cloud) Security Engineering seems an obvious path for a cloud/system admin, and I don't think it's extremely hard to build the necessary security knowledge on top of a solid engineering background!
