  • That doesn’t mean anything.

    If you “by default” don’t log, then when receiving a court order, there is nothing to hand over which is the entire point. If,magically, logs from the past 5 years when they said there were “no logs” show up, that means they were lying about no logs.

    Just like they now advertise that your data is fully end to end encrypted and even they can’t see it.

    If, with a court order, they are able to decrypt and hand over your data, then they were lying in the first place that they couldn’t read your data and it isn’t end to end encrypted

    Court orders aren’t some magical thing that go back in time and redo history. The entire point of these heavily advertised precautions is exactly against court orders by corrupt, tyrannical governments using the law as a political or fascist blunt weapon against citizens.









  • My father used opensuse all through the 2000s when they still delivered CDs, so I always saw them laying around. I tried out Linux my first year of university (mint back then) because my mediocre laptop would take an insane time to startup windows 7. Battery life was significantly worse though. Maybe a part because my father used it because of unresolved feelings after he died.






  • It’s a bit difficult. I don’t have the money for an entire 2nd server on my network and $500 in HDDs just for a backup solution as part of 3/2/1.

    I have 3TB of fault-tolerant-ish data in a ZFS mirror then 12TB in a third, single drive full of stuff that I don’t care a ton if I lost (media and stuff mostly)

    Maybe I could back up the more needed data to Hetzner or something for cheaper, but it still adds up.
