The point is signaling to other people that it’s not worth their time. I sort by new so I often see these slop posts as well, but other readers very quickly downvote it into oblivion so if a post is older than say 15 minutes I generally will know not to read it even if it sounds interesting at first glance. A mod will come by later to actually delete it if that’s warranted, but until then downvotes suffice.

Tl;dw is that sure, the US could withhold software updates and sure, NL could do their own software thing, but there is a whole intelligence software thing too that makes it harder. And ultimately if the US stops supplying new parts the existing planes are quickly dead in the water anyway. So it’s a short-term solution at best.
I think unattended-upgrades only runs once a day by default, and the repository index could have changed since then. Different results on different machines can be because unattended-upgrades didn’t run at the same time, or from the same mirror (and mirrors take a while to propagate changes). Generally speaking you should always run an apt update directly before installing new packages.
Jellyfin on an Android TV does DV just fine here, so any android box that supports DV should work I guess.
Arch in the front, Debian in the back(end). I run Arch on my laptop and Debian on my homeserver. I’ve ran Debian on laptops before and if stable is getting older hardware support can be a struggle, much better on a rolling distro like Arch. And having all the newest toys on your desktop is very very nice. While on my homeserver I mostly want stability, everything else runs in (podman) containers anyway.
Cachy is a distro I would consider, because it’ll theoretically give you slightly better battery life due to the optimised compiles, although I’m not sure you’ll ever really notice. Manjaro has a reputation of breaking far more often than Arch does, so that one’s a no for me.
I use mergerfs (and snapraid because I do care about my data and want parity) on ext4 formatted disks. This is a much better way to use your disks if you’re mostly just storing media. RAID is for mitigation of downtime after drive failure, not for joining a bunch of (differently sized?) disks into one pool if downtime isn’t really a problem.
