Long-term Linux operations guy who somehow became a Golang developer.
I also run the lemmy.serverfail.party instance
Generally, if in the same country you'd have to comply. As another example though: If your server was in Canada, and some department in Alabama wanted your data, you could tell them to pound sand. Though they may put some sort of warrant out for you for failure to comply (doesn't matter though if you never go there)
Yeah honestly, it's great so far. I tried searxng for quite awhile and it did the trick somewhat, but damn SEO farms were my biggest pet peeve. The time I save is worth the money
Been straight Linux since 2005ish. It's definitely really improved just before COVID - things just work now without fiddling. In the past yeah, I had to fiddle quite a bit to make things work and write up some scripts for installs that would break next patch, but now I'm almost done a Witcher 3 play-through on Linux without even needing to adjust a thing.
I've been happy with Bitwarden thus far. Used Lastpass back in the day, but migrated over when the renewal prices started creeping up.
It's nice to see this sub exist outside reddit. Usually I'm patient on playing any new games so I can wait for them to be runnable on Linux if not native (ie, via proton)
