To be honest, you can say the same about any large cloud provider. What happens if AWS, or Azure, or Google Cloud go down, or become terrible?
I’m a Christian and software engineer; I create random graphics projects and websites. Feel free to ask me for help with programming, or about my faith!

This is probably not the solution you are looking for, given your opinion of the company, but I wonder if using their 1.1.1.1 app (which acts as a mini VPN to a Cloudflare endpoint and changes your public IP) would fix that for you.

Check out Ollama and its extensions for VSCode; might save you some money paying for other services if your computer can run models locally.
I haven’t taken it myself, but “The Last Algorithms Course You’ll Need” is free and is written by The Primeagen. He works at Netflix and runs a programming-focused YouTube channel, and as far as I can tell is very knowledgeable and level-headed.
Just listing some things that I needed to do for working remotely on a personal device: have an antivirus installed, make sure Windows firewall is enabled, enable automatic updates, screensaver or lockscreen configured for 15 minutes of inactivity, and use a strong password (and a good password manager).
However, you can configure GRUB to use an encrypted boot partition, and even have detached encryption headers. It does take a bit more work, and you should make sure you know what you are doing. (e.g. losing a detached header basically means your data is all lost)
Just installed, and now I’m wondering why I’ve never found this before. Its great - open source, well-designed, and pretty full-featured
For my (admittedly nonprofessional) use cases, I have found nothing that Krita, Gimp, or Inkscape could not handle. Honestly, I think the UI is equal or better as well.
For anyone who is confused: This is exploiting an old soundness bug in the Rust compiler that is still present. The GitHub issue page has this comment from maintainers:
