I guess some people might go with f-s-tayb, but I wouldn't necessary recognise what they were saying.

True, most updates I don't actually care about. I haven't had any updates cause problems yet, but I like that I could choose to not enable updates on anything with a bad history (or critical stuff where I don't want to run the risk).
Yes, I still have it showing up in Windows/Android, and phone numbers show their cost per minute.
I have a load of credit on there still (got tricked by them deactivating my credit and topped up unnecessarily). I still use it for international calls at least once a month, I hope this news story is overblown.
This is one of my favourites, despite the lack of Hobbes.
autoupdate is something I wouldn’t use
Yup, I expect lots of people feel like that, maybe most (I'd be interested to see some stats). I value security over availability, but you can choose per-container, of course.
network
You can set Internal=true
, which I use whenever possible, which means access is only to anything on same network (for me that's itself and Caddy) - no outgoing connections at all. Podman uses PASTA by default for rootless.
The docs say what they do and don't do - and they don't do that. Just actually read through them for yourself, you don't have to be a lawyer.
This is just a bit of corporate box-ticking, but the pitchfork brigade has read 2 + 2 and is now screaming about 5s.
In the advertising bit they say what data they use and it's all broad stuff like device type and location, as well as aggregate data on how many people click on the ads. Of course, you can just disable this, which surely most people do - tbh I forgot there was even this "sponsored content" there at all (it was added a while ago I think).
They don't say that your browsing habits, interactions or communications are used for anything besides doing what's required to actually do what you asked.
Yes, Mozilla does some AI, like the in-browser, privacy-respecting language translation. If you use the same feature in Chrome, the text is submitted to a Google server, but in Firefox it never leaves your browser. I don't see how this could be spun to count against Firefox/Mozilla.
My pleasure! Answering your question is a good motivation to actually document my setup.
Also, if you're moving configs over, you might find podlet useful.
