Just out of curiosity, how legal is this? Do you need to hide in complicated ways?

If they are in Greenland without a permit, are they technically illegal immigrants who are part of organized crime (the drilling operation)?

Ah, I see, I thought you meant that Europe could put pressure to help the US. A global recession is of course bad, but I will say that I’m personally willing to endure some economic hardship if it means that we move faster to renewable energy sources and that the US is not appeased in any way.

As a European, I would not support an agreement that helps the US.

If I remember right sweden lost a tiny colony because the guy who ran it just sold it without being authorized to do so and ran off with the money.

It’s not stealing when you willingly allow someone to use it however they want. OpenBSD writes: “We want to make available source code that anyone can use for ANY PURPOSE, with no restrictions. We strive to make our software robust and secure, and encourage companies to use whichever pieces they want to.” If your goal is to polish something like OpenSSH until it’s as good as it can be, the world is better off when robust and secure software spread, also into proprietary systems. When companies use OpenSSH, it does not take away anything from OpenBSD, they are not competitors.

My general advice at this point is, if you haven’t already, to document the setup for your future self. It quickly gets out of hand with the amount of passwords, credentials, certificates, firewall settings, docker containers left and right, configs, workarounds, custom shell scripts, ansible scripts, git repos, backup locations and passwords, etc. Right now everything is fresh in your mind, but 6 months from now you may need to restore from a backup or an OS upgrade goes wrong, and then you’ll appreciate being able to remember the details.

What can an ordinary person do about this? I moved my savings to ETFs that specifically exclude the US the moment Trump was elected. But my debit card is connected to Mastercard and there’s no europan alternative in my country. Or is it more about the big picture and not what I personally do or avoid?
