All this, plus the well-established legal notion of “informed consent”. If I rent a megaphone from a shop it would be utterly unreasonable for that shop to tell everyone I’d bought a megaphone - I wasn’t informed and wouldn’t reasonably assume that’s what they would do, so I couldn’t consent - but if I walk around using that megaphone to shout at people it would similarly be utterly unreasonable to argue that the shop is responsible for keeping my bellowings private.
You can use NextCloud as the front end for an SMB share, which is what I do. I can access all my file shares using a protocol designed for intermittent Internet connections, I can sync any folder I want for offline use and, because NextCloud support file rehydration, I can even sync folders bigger than my local disk and it will stream in the files as I use them.
Yeah, if you’re used to Microsoft servers and have a Microsoft network it integrates really nicely and is great to manage. Plus, it’s free.

Waaaaaaaaay too expensive, but I’d love it if big eink displays became a thing, even with shit refresh rates, mostly because I want some for displaying Home Assistant dashboards.
Yeah, I have this conversation and lot on the sad truth is that until there’s a Linux distro that’s as manageable as Windows is with Group Policy, no big organisation is adopting it. Unfortunately, nothing in the Linux space comes close.

The hardware is good and I like the idea in principle but Fairphone’s support and software QA is dreadful and you need to hope you never need the former because of problems with the latter. My FP5 was bricked by an update they pushed out and after six weeks of trying to get a solution from their support (four weeks of which they didn’t respond at all) I ended up claiming on insurance and buying a Pixel. According to the forums this problem is far from unique to me.
The rolling release thing isn’t for me, but I get why that model might appeal. Brave, though? Why?
