   The best cloud platform out there

   You could say a lot of things about AWS, but among the cloud platforms (and I've used quite a few) AWS takes the cake. It is logically structured, you can get through its documentation relatively easily, you have a great variety of tools and services to choose from [from AWS itself and from third-party developers in their marketplace]. There is a learning curve, there is quite a lot of it, but it is still way easier than some other platforms. I've used and abused AWS and EC2 specifically and for me it is the best.

   👍 Pros:    Great documentation|Website structure visualization|You have control over everything|Flexibility

   👎 Cons:    Learning curve|A lot of dashboards for different things

• AWS Polling - What is it and why you should do it

  When I first started using AWS, I'd often end up spending a lot more as compared to what my expectation, but since the projects were small and the small differences in run-time did not affect the business function that much I used to overlook it. It was only when we started the first major project that we learnt about polling in AWS Lambda and it has been a lifesaver. On a recently completed project, we are... - Source: dev.to / 8 days ago

• What are you shocked people are still doing nowadays?

  Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp. Source: 7 months ago

• A Practical Guide For Safety And Reporting Crimes For Our Community

  A question I often get is "Well are my text messages safe" The short answer is... Maybe? Depends on what type of phone you use, your carrier, and a bunch of other factors. One way to avoid this is to use an end-to-end encrypted text service like Signal if that is a concern of yours. VERY IMPORTANT NOTES: Telegram and WhatsApp are not secure. The way to think of this security is that if is retained by a server... Source: 7 months ago

• Signal Public Username Testing (Staging Environment)

  The linked page is on signalusers.org, but Signal's regular home site is https://signal.org/. I'm looking all over signal.org for some link from there to signalusers.org, as that would make me more relaxed about the authenticity of the latter -- i.e., that it really is run by the same people who run signal.org. Yes, maybe I'm being paranoid. But we're talking about an app whose whole purpose is secure... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Breaking Global Communication Barriers

  WhatsApp and Signal: Of course I’m going to conclude with the point to point encrypted communication apps Signal and WhatsApp. Most of our clients around the world communicate in these apps more than they make phone calls or send emails. Set up an account in each app and start leveraging the text, photo, phone and video features to have easy and fast conversations with your global contacts. See https://signal.org...
