Remember the Simple Sabotage Field Manual? It was good in 1944. It might come in handy now. We don't have to be on the barricades, getting beaten by the police. We can be the person in the meeting, asking for clarifications, sending the report back for revisions, dropping the tool when it's inconvenient, complicating the processes, being slow on the uptake and lax in quality control. Even if we have to work for an evil corporation for evil ends, we can still help.

@aw I make local copies the remote server to my laptop using rsync. As I'm slowly starting to use more sqlite, I really need to add skipping of sqlite files and using sqlite-rsync. This is perfect! The only problem is that I now need to know all the sqlite files on my server! Maybe keep a list of known *.db files in a file, run sqlite-rsync for the files in this list and warn about all the *.db files not in this list, with an option to silence that warning for known not-sqlite .db files… Do you already have something like this?
