CIQ is the company behind Rocky and they joined. I believe Alma is taking a slightly different approach than the others, hence they did not join.

It is possible to decrypt L3 by dumping keys from an android device. Several guides and tools can be found here: https://cdm-project.com/How-To.
I have done this successfully in the past, but it is far from easy.
As an alternative for using an Android device with some hacking tools, you can use https://getwvkeys.cc/, but you need to sign up and get accepted.
Like $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
and $XDG_DATA_HOME
?
It’s good when looking for something obscure that you can’t find on reputable websites. Just be aware that anything can be found on these websites, including bad things. The websites are legit, but they collect any torrent they can find without doing any kind of screening. This is both good and bad.
The fact that W3C defines the protocol doesn’t stop large companies from doing whatever they want. Have a look at Google: their web browser has become so widely adopted that Google effectively controls what is considered part of the spec, not W3C.
If Meta’s platform grows to become the biggest fediverse project, they will control the spec and others will either have to follow, or risk dropping out. This is just like how Firefox is forced to follow Google to ensure all websites work properly on Firefox, even if these sites don’t comply with the spec.
I agree, I also make sure everything is fully local. I have separate subnets for the server that runs home assistant, the IoT devices, and the trusted home network. Then I have some firewall rules that ensure that the IoT network cannot communicate with the WAN or the trusted LAN network at all, only with home assistant.
We have some simple automations at home to turn on the boiler in the afternoon when we have an abundance of solar power, and some basic automation to turn off aquarium lights at night such that the fish can sleep. Anything more complex just becomes unreliable and annoying.
If you’re going to use a poorly moderated site like TPB, you might as well go all-in and use a DHT crawler like Bitsearch or BTDigg. On these websites you can find anything. If it’s not on BTDigg, it’s probably not on any public tracker.
Being able to monitor energy usage is very useful. We can see how much our solar panels are producing and how much we are importing and exporting from the network. Based on this information we can decide whether we should start a dishwasher, washing machine, water boiler, air conditioning, etc. That way, we can save a lot of money by optimally making use of free solar energy.
Making sure you are still able to control everything when the network is down seems like a good idea.
In our house, the smart plugs have a physical button that can be used to toggle them on or off. The lights are still connected to a physical power switch, so they can be reset by flipping the switch a few times, in which case they will probably just act as a normal light. Air conditioning units have an IR remote.
For me it’s overall much better on Linux now.
There’s a difference between consuming power to do stuff, and consuming power to charge. More power to charge = faster charging.
Fedora, because it just works and it ships recent software versions.
I also like Fedora Silverblue, and projects like ublue are very interesting in my opinion.
One does not exclude the other. A ZFS pool with mirrored drives is also RAID.
