No matter how good the protocol or client encryption, your privacy is only as good as your own physical security for the device in question.
Given that if you lose your private key, there is no recovery, I would be surprised if there were real back doors in the clients. Maybe unintentional ways to leak data, but you can go look for yourself: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android
They have one for each client.
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
I feel your pain man. Our university of 40k people did the same thing “from on high” and we ran into the same problems in our lab. We only had 4 million files to move into a Teams share. Which, btw, takes about 5 weeks to “sync” to OneDrive, which is how we were expected to replace our workflow instead of a shared network storage drive our lab owned

Wait til your table with all the checksums gets messed up on an “older” btrfs install. Happened to me on a VM because I didn’t know copy-on-write should be disabled for large frequently partially updated files. It also slowed that VMs IO down a lot.
Like most file systems, BTRFS is great if you know the edge cases. I recently moved to ZFS on my new work system, which has been a great change in terms of in-line snapshots and the like.
If EXT4 meets your needs, that’s awesome. If you understand how to use a different FS well or are willing to learn (and risk), I would also encourage other options as well.
Please explain why you don’t open powershell and run cmd.exe instead of running bash? This is a strange workaround and doesn’t really make sense.
Replaying Fallout: New Vegas. I wanted to do a tale of two wastelands, but I couldn’t get the mods to settle out. It’s a much better game than I remember from my first play through!
So you can get banned from Tinder for impersonating a doctor?
(I too have a PhD. I feel your pain)

As an engineer:
This is a recursive and iterative process. Meaning you will find problems inside your solutions and need to fix them.
Eventually you finish the thing and get a new problem and do the whole game over again. It’s like a puzzle that requires absurd amounts of knowledge to play well, but anyone could try to solve the problem. That’s why good engineers are paid pretty well.
Ironically, people who’ve achieved the first four often struggle with the last 3. Being at the top is often lonely because it’s hard to find people to relate to.
If you achieve all 7, that does indeed sound perfect.
Signal’s defaults are pretty good about that. Push notifications are both opt-in and the information they send can be selected by the user. You can have it say “new message” and that’s it. Or the senders name. Or the whole message.
I agree that it’s not intuitive that that’s a leak to most people, but push notifications are kind of wonky how they work.
