Install Debian, docker and perhaps some docker app manager (I'm using caprover, which also handles reverse proxy, subdomains and TLS) and you can self host many apps on a single box, such as Nextcloud or Gitea.
Storage is harder, I'm using american company in the end - Backblaze. I'm encrypting all my backups before transfer, but that only protects from part of the risks.
For self-written software, caprover supports docker based auto-deploy from git repository, similar to Heroku or perhaps github/gitlab. It's very solid, only overhead is you have to wrap your app in docker image.

Though it is probably impossible to determine their degree of successful usage of the tech, what I'm trying to say is that this has profound societal impact - unlikely positive. Saying "it doesn't affect me" is shortsighted.

Those popups are asking for your consent to being tracked by the site, which can come in various forms and technical implementations. Calling it "cookies" misses the point. It can mean gathering your data, correlating it with data from other sources, using it to determine strategy to adjust your views, selling it to the american government - anything.

Still, it is by far the nicest and snappiest IDE I have tried in the last decade and I'm loving it. It's native and that has its implications. Plus, it has been opensourced.

Situations like these happened to thousands of poor souls, even the people in finance you mention, even to people presenting at conferences right on the stage and so on. Microsoft even had a page listing several stories like this and then finishing that its all worth it, the updates are the best.

Yes! And I was amazed at how good it was. But with one caveat: I used it exclusively as a "coder" - code generating model, always paired with some stronger model - such as Sonnet 4 or sometimes GPT4.1 - to actually come up with the implementation plan. Once the plan was solid, 4.1 was able to take it and implement any needed changes, quickly and precisely.
Additional details: This was in Roo Code, stronger model was "Architect" while 4.1 was used in "Code" mode. Mostly Python, but also some Typescript and bash.

EU pushes (quite foolishly in my opinion) for every banking operation to be confirmed via 2FA using exclusively android or apple devices with respective apps, which are often quite picky about the phones they support.

I played and loved the Dredge last winter (with no DLCs) and have scheduled one more play through with DLCs this winter break. They are on sale right now and already in my cart :) My kids are looking forward to it, too. Guess this will be our ultimate cosy Christmas game, what a weird bunch we are.
As you said, everything about the game is good - the atmosphere, the story, the gameplay.
I'll have to check Wytchwood, since I already own it (huh, how did that happen?).
