When the government wants you to disappear, you disappear. When they want you found, you get found.

I have. I just don't see the whole purpose of the post. If it's for fun, why are you hosting it? Do something like this on your own hardware.
What's wrong with hosting it? I don't see why the goal would make hosting it elsewhere not make sense?

He's probably in a safe, in a field with no paper trail! I think you answered your own question

@Breffni-Potter I dislike secrecy -- especially in the government... If the government is going to do something, at least be bold enough to tell the public about it... Even if it is after the fact. Otherwise it comes out as a "leak" around election time and detracts from the real issues that the American public is facing.
This was the idea behind FOIA granted half the time they'll use some excuse not to give you information. Heck having to government jobs on my resume has hindered me getting other jobs. One even flat out said they would not hire someone who's working or has worked for our corrupt government.

If you don't trust DO with your data then honestly you shouldn't be using them. Any level of security can be bypassed with enough time when you have physical access.

Nothing. Just seems like it'd make more sense to try this at home first, but that's just me.

Dont' see why. If the goal is to learn about security, how does learning at home make it more useful than learning in a hosted environment? What about home makes more sense?

“People who say they don’t care about privacy because they have got nothing to hide have not thought too deeply about these issues. What they are really saying is I do not care about this right. When you say I don’t care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide, that is no different than saying I don’t care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say or freedom of the press because I have nothing to write.”

From a technical standpoint, none. I can't really explain why that's how I feel. It's just how it makes sense in my head.
