I'm reasonably sure there's an option in librewolf that will hide your timezone and just report it as +0, independent from what you actually use is the os.

It has a lot of fingerprint hardening either enabled by default or available as an option.

All normal PCs run CachyOS, includes gaming PCs, laptops and media PCs. All servers run some form of Debian (includes Proxmox) or a dedicated distro for their use (TRUE WAS, technically also Debian based).

Maybe look onto OwnCloud. That's the project NextCloud was forked from many years ago. It's very much still around and had a very different philosophy, a much more minimalistic approach with focus on stability. That's actually the reason the people behind NextCloud had to fork it, cause all their additional features (bloat) wasn't accepted upstream.

If you want to lessen the barrier of entry to Arch, maybe try CachyOS. It's Arch based and very close to normal Arch, but has some conveniences. Might be worth a look. It's also got it's own CPU specific repositories (same content as Arch), giving even more performance.

Appreciate the heads up. I'm reasonably sure I've already uninstalled it anyway, but I'll check tomorrow to make sure.

You can secure boot most distros these days. It's not new either. Depends on who it what their anchor is, and if it's more limited than just secure boot being active.

Why does Canadian tire even have 38 million accounts? That number seems really wild to me...

Compressing it with handbrake will probably not look worse. MPEG2 used in DVD is notoriously inefficient by today's standards. Depending on the codec selected, it'll be a fraction of the size with no visible differences.

Unless you mean to keep the DVD structure and playability in DVD players (including menus and everything), but I don't think handbrake can do that.

If you just want file sync, the obvious option is SyncThing. It's established and highly regarded.

Yes, but my search data doesn't leave my house. Also since my IP changed multiple times a week (not quite daily, but close), I prefer this to using someone else's instance. There is some obfuscation to be gained by searching through a public insurance as well, but my insurance is still used by multiple people, not just me.

searxng (self hosted). But I understand not everyone can host something. There are public instances out there as well.

While this is great to hear, it kind of stood out to me that the saving per vehicle is only about half the "incentives" per vehicle. So these have to get a lot cheaper before the incentives aren't mandatory anymore.

Once real mass production is the norm, this will probably happen automatically over time. The initial investment difference is still eye watering.
