Shelly also has static analysis for AUR packages that looks for all the common, shifty ways a pkgbuild might try to give you something bad.

To clarify, the packages in the CachyOS repo from the AUR are manually reviewed by a team member before inclusion and updates.

A system where the whole populace votes on everything isn't the only kind of democracy. The US is a representative democracy.

I mean just read through the link above. You'll find no exemption for personal use when it involves bypassing DRM. Which I don't think any DVD or blu-ray anymore lacks.

I'm also reasonably sure that "3. Proposed Class 6: Audiovisual Works—Space-Shifting" in the above link would cover personal archival and that was explicitly rejected.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still all for it, but it's not permitted anymore like it used to be.

Unfortunately not. The exemption dropped some years ago.

Personal archival isn't exempt anymore, that dropped some years ago. The only archival exemption now is for "qualifying institutions".

FWIW, I've been using an Omada switch and 2 APs for over a year with the controller in a docker container without any issues. I have preferred OPNSense as my router/firewall for years and it works well for me with omada gear.

Could potentially Faraday cage it if you can find the exact spot it's at.

I wholly agree with your sentiment, but as someone who cares to actually take action for my privacy this kind of onerousness is par for the course, unfortunately.

I think an argument should be made against normalizing this, which could then lead to OEMs building in internet assisted data export functionality in new cars and people won't know until a lawsuit (likely) starts years after the fact and the harm is done.

Bitwarden is fantastic IMO, vaultwarden if you like to self host.

Out of an abundance of caution, it would be prudent to change the passwords for the most critical accounts in your life initially. Things like your bank, email, Google. Accounts that losing control of would immediately make you go "oh shit, I can't do X that I need for daily life". Then slowly over time change the less critical ones.

That's possible, but those services most likely offer another form of 2FA. Getting away from using SMS 2FA everywhere you can is best.
