    I think in the context of the OP, not all donations have strings attached in the sense of trying to exert control. Maybe smelting orphans is undesirable but for donations previously received there’s nothing the donor can do about that other. And picking and choosing who you donate to isn’t a form of exerting control either.

    Whereas large university donations do usually have agreements signed that could drastically change school policy. These are “donations” to exert control in some form or another





  • Here are some good rule of thumbs for work and schools:

    • do not connect to their networks with your personal devices, ever.

    • Only use work/ school devices on their own network.

    • Do not do anything personal on those networks. only do work/school related tasks. This means don’t log into any non school/work accounts.

    • If for some reason they don’t have a device for you but require you to use their network, then leave your personal devices at home claiming you don’t own one and make them accommodate you.

    You cannot expect privacy in these situations, and by going to the extreme lengths to try to get it then you will ironically just paint a bigger target on your back if any network admin cares. In some cases this can cost you your job or get you in trouble with the school.

    let me ask this: what is your threat model? Don’t tell me, ask yourself that and work through it if you haven’t already.

    Going full 100% and trying to become a shadow overnight if a great recipe for burning yourself out and not trying. Instead look at your specific threat model and work on the biggest things one step at a time. Make it a journey and only take a new step once you’re comfortable with the last.

    I think wed just need the following

    • rel.id (primary key)
    • rel.user_id (foreign key to person.id)
    • rel.user_id2 (foreign key to person.id)
    • rel.type (type of relationship)
    • rel.start (non null)
    • rel.end

    From there you don’t need a rel.status because you’re not updating this rel.id entry except for the rel.end. if they started dating again later it would be a whole new entry, and then you could query their entire dating history to see if they keep coming back to the same person, dating around, playing the field, etc. Separately there could be a friendship relationship that is tracked so you could if they ended being friends after a breakup.


  • To that point a person table with a relationship table. So this way you can reference relationship between two or more persons within the relationship table and that could be joined to the person table if needed. I don’t think you’d really be able to keep it within one table while exploring multiple relationships unless you’re storing a list of ids that is interpreted outside of sql. Also a relationship table would allow exploring other types of relationships such as exes, love interests, coworkers, family, friends, etc
