Thanks, I think I probably will end up on Artix eventually. I’m going to try Gentoo first just because it interests me though!

You might need to make a new account because I think Lemmy.world defederated hexbear

Yeah I think I will. This change alone isn’t actually that bad but it shows an eagerness to comply which I can’t accept. I’m not sure which distro to choose though, it’s probably between Gentoo, Artix and Void

So its time to move to a distro without systemd?

Ah I see, I didn’t realise you’d got rid of the old backups. Glad you managed to get most of it back!

And at least you have an off site backup, I still haven’t found a decent way to do it that isn’t prohibitively expensive

If you hadn’t got lucky with the backup array would your existing off site backups have been any help or were they too out of date?

Republicans are absolute scum but they only exist in the US and are not in charge of every state. This is a bipartisan push around the globe.

Best I can do is a bunch of age verification laws to take even more control away from you

You’re not overlooking anything. You hit the nail on the head, these laws are about surveillance and censorship and that’s why they’re being implemented in the worst and least privacy respecting way possible. The next step is to make sure it’s impossible to circumvent by enforcing locked bootloaders and secure boot. Phones are 90% of the way there already and it probably wouldn’t be too hard for them to fuck up the desktop/laptop side of things either.

Let’s see if it gets released before GrapheneOS and unlockable bootloader get outlawed

Even if everything you say comes true I still don’t see the prices coming back down. They never did after covid

Do you have any recommendations for a reverse proxy to use or resources on how to set one up? It’s not something I’ve properly looked into yet

I hadn’t considered OwnCloud because I thought it was pretty much the same as NextCloud but mainly aimed at enterprise. Does it have any advantages over Nextcloud?

I haven’t got round to setting up https yet since I only access my server via my LAN or Tailscale. When I do get round to setting it up I might use a reverse proxy rather than configuring it for every service. I also need to work out how to do automatic certificate renewal and if that’s even worth doing, so I don’t want to be forced into half-assing it for Nextcloud before I’m ready to do it properly. With Nextcloud specifically I also don’t like the fact that you can’t change the domain after the initial setup, using the community edition via http seems to get round that problem as well
