Putin couldn’t care less about the support from some random programmers. Be realistic, what do you expect them to do? Take up arms? Protest and get imprisoned? Vote in the sham elections?
Targeting random civilians in hopes of political change is the strategy of terrorists.
So then you agree that there is no reason to be “glad” about this?
And how exactly is banning these contributors supposed to stop the invasion? These people have no control or culpability.
Why the password.trim()? Silently removing parts of the password can lead to dangerous bugs and tells me the developer didn’t peoperly consider how to sanitize input.
I remember once my password for a particular organization had a space at the end. I could log in to all LDAP-connected applications, except for one that would insist my password was wrong. A trim() or similar was likely the culprit.

This doesn’t advocate for any substantial improvement of data protections. It’s merely a convenience argument to legitimize banning Chinese cars for economic reasons. American car manufacturers will continue to harvest and sell all your data, just with less competition.
Of course, this isn’t a surprise coming from the CFR, the lobbying organization for US imperialism.
Not my idea of a good date, but to each their own

With this approach you would lose the subvolume structure and deduplication if I’m not mistaken.
Obviously acquiring publicly available data is legal
Under the EU GDPR it is often not legal. Controllers need a legal basis, which only exists if there is an appropriate relationship between the controller and the data subject.
The most common physical attacks will be you misplacing your device or some friend/burglar/cop taking it. FDE works great in those scenarios.
The uMatrix add-on for Firefox seems to do what you want.
Do you have experience with Spanish employment law?
Reserved for future use
Key servers can be dishonest, so you need to have another way of verifying that the key you receive is correct.
What is “southern Ireland”? Do you mean Ireland?
Even if you computer is not exposed to the internet: are you certain that every other device on the network is safe (even on public wifi)? Would you immediately raise the alarm if you saw a second printer in the list with the same name, or something like “Print to file”? I think I personally could fall for that under the right circumstances.
