You can still block it easily with the command prompt (Shift+F10 during the install) as mentioned. But don't let that stop you from switching to Linux if you feel like it.

Always use /dev/disk/* (I use by-id) for RAID, as those links will stay constant even if a disk is renamed (for example, from sdb to sdd).

I literally haven't had ANY of those problems running Windows 10 or 11 FWIW, not have any of my friends or relatives.

I'm not anti-Linux or anything though, have used it for 26 years now, but only briefly on the desktop.

How I felt 10 minutes ago when I fixed a bug just after zipping it for release.

"climate change and other left wing topics"... I know that's basically how it works in some countries, but it's insane to consider certain scientific facts left wing, and we really shouldn't support such statements.

Helpful yes, but far from enough. It only helps in some scenarios (like accidental deletes, malware), but not in many others (filesystem corruption, multiple disks dying at once due to e.g. lightning, a bad PSU or a fire).

Offsite backup is a must for data you want to keep.

What does this have to do with systemd? Aren't they safer in this situation because they aren't using the beta xz release?

My systems running Debian stable with systemd also aren't affected...

This is about the website.

10x more?

Here's a 3 meter UHS certified HDMI cable for $9.99. I doubt you can find one for much less that handles 4K 120 Hz w/ HDR properly.

And seven years of guaranteed Android updates.

It's always possible to re-encode video; it's usually called transcoding. However, you lose a bit of quality every time you encode, so you might not gain much in the end. You can offset a bit of the quality loss by encoding at a higher bitrate/quality factor/etc than you otherwise would, but that of course takes up extra space.

This again? It's utter bullcrap I'm afraid.
