I back up my personal data for which I have the space.
I do not back up my media, as I can't justify the costs for another drive that size and would be fine with losing in the offchance I loose two drives in my array (or my entire server fucking up).
I still (have to) download scetchy executables on Windows when I want to install most programms, while on debian I can install most programs via apt and a few repositories.
Even when it's not a standard repo I still prefer it over random executables because while the security is just as bad at least I get updates without having to open the program itself.
But what resonated with me most have been the restarts for updates. Happened way to often that I wanted to stop working but cant just shut down windows without updates and the accompanying reboots. (If I don't check up in between to decrypt the disk on startups it'll just sit there and run out the battery and I have to do the restarts on the next workday).
On debian I just klick the power button, it hibernates (or I shut it down if I'm in the mood) and os updates are completely seperate from that.
I mean I've never seen illegal content so far, which I guess is my main concern.
I know a bit back lemmy had a problem which led to my old instance just purging all images from a certain time frame / instance and temporarily defederating the affected instance until they removed it from their side.
I am also sure that other mainstream platforms I've been on have/had problems but I never just stumbled on it and had to see it.
Tbh I often find chatbots good for edgecases which are not well-documented (or not documented at all) but hard too google because one of the (or a subset of the) keywords is just flooded with (ireelevant/) unrelated garbage.
I don't understand why so many organizations make it so hard to donate.
Why do I need to enter my name and e-mail only to discover you don't support european banks.
It cannot be that complicated to set up an eu-bankaccount and publish the IBAN to just let me wire money, right?
