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.

Same. I know it's more work than caddy etc, but I've been doing it for eons now so it's muscle memory at this point.
