Privacy Guides is a non-profit project aimed at providing users with insights into privacy rights, while also recommending best practices or tools to help reclaim privacy in the world of the Internet.

There are many great articles here, and I will take the example of three concepts that are often confused or misrepresented: Privacy, Security, and Anonymity. While many people who oppose privacy argue that a person does not need privacy if they have 'nothing to hide.' 'This is a dangerous misconception, as it creates the impression that those who demand privacy must be deviant, criminal, or wrongdoers.' - Why Privacy Matters.

Just got played by my buddy Turso. The server suddenly crashed, and checking the logs revealed a lot of errors:

Operation was blocked LibsqlError: PROXY_ERROR: error executing a request on the primary

Suspicious, I went to the Turso admin panel and saw the statistics showing that I had executed over 500 million write commands!? At that moment, I was like, "What the heck? Am I being DDoSed? But there's no way I could have written 500 million."

Turso offers users free monthly limits of 1 billion read requests and 25 million write requests, yet I had written over 500 million. Does that seem unreasonable to everyone? 😆. But the server was down, and should I really spend money to get it back online? Roughly calculating, 500M would cost about $500.

After that, I went to the Discord channel seeking help, and very quickly someone came in to assist me, and just a few minutes later they informed me that the error was on their side and had restored the service for me. Truly, in the midst of misfortune, there’s good fortune; what I love most about this service is the quick support like this 🙏
