Add vagrant to that

Docker is the answer.

So true :-D

I moved from xampp/mamp to a docker environment I setup for CMSs I work with. Every site got its own env with it's servers. Every commit I dump the project db and commit the sql dump alongside the code. Only thing missing to make the workflow perfectly safe and smooth is automatically dumping the db when I call docker-compose down. Some sort of hook would be nice :-/

@vertti How much this impacts your life depends on the scope of use intended for such a centralized database. But expect the governments to squeeze every bit of information out of you. Probably they would even make the use of such an ID mandatory, so you cannot avoid being tracked anymore.
A little story from Germany: We have an electronic passport. When it was introduced the electronic components would be turned off by default. No one was allowed to read your data from it (NFC) without consent. Now they changed the law (midnight session in parliament, no joke) so that every german intelligence agency can use this data as they want. Combine a biometric photo of yourself with obiqous sec-cameras...The problem is: You cannot, NEVER EVER, trust the government on such things. Where there is data, there is strong interest in using it.

@vertti It would be technically feasible but using such a universal ID everywhere, probably even coupled with biometric data and photos of that user would be - and let me stress that - the most horrible and catastrophic damage done to privacy and personal rights imaginable. You'd be tracked on each and every step you do. Terrifying vision.

Reminds me of some of those gamedev.net forum posts in the Help Wanted Section.
