You don’t need a contract. In the United States, anyone can sue anyone for anything. No laws need to have been broken nor contracts breached.

It’s not illegal in the US either, but you can still be sued by employers for doing it.

This is such a poor attempt at trolling. Don’t you have better things to do?

It is simpler when you’re doing stuff on the web and/or need to scale.

Compared to MinIO, it has more storage backend flexibility, cross-region replication is easy, it is resilient to less-than-ideal network conditions between nodes. Did you bother reading the website?

I’m not sure why your immediate reaction to having more options is negative.

Set up a cheap VPS on DigitalOcean or the like, and run a Tailscale exit node. Put Tailscale on your devices at home (or get a 2nd router that allows you to run Tailscale on it) and join them to the same Tailnet. That’s the easiest way to accomplish this without getting too far into the weeds.

Don’t forget making temperatures many many times hotter than our own sun, sometimes mere meters away from the coldest temperatures in the universe.

I don’t know of many distros that enable automatic updates out of the box, you usually have to enable it after installing.

You can do that in Mint too: https://linuxhint.com/configure-updates-automatically-linux-mint/

I’d recommend Linux Mint honestly. It’s popular enough that they can find solutions to common problems, has a Windows-like interface, and it mostly “just works” on common hardware. Printer drivers, networking, and audio all worked out of the box for me. Cinnamon is lightweight but powerful, and the Mint theme looks really good on it. The default package repos have everything you’re likely to need, and the software manager tool is easy to use.

What kind of dystopian hellhole do you live in where you can be arrested for clicking on a 3D model of a gun?

For reference, this was in Japan. From my experience, there weren’t SIM card vendors until you get through customs. That could be a 2 hour long process from landing to entering the country before you can get a SIM and communicate with family or your travel arrangements at your destination. It also won’t be doing you any favors if you need to pull up documentation on your phone to provide to the customs agent, like your return ticket.

I can buy an eSIM and install it before leaving my home and verify it works instantly. It’s just a better experience than the alternative.

When I traveled across the world last year it took me 5 minutes to sign up for a temporary cell plan in the country I was visiting, then install the eSIM from my phone’s web browser. I didn’t have to plan ahead and wait for them to mail me a SIM card so I could juggle around SIMs while abroad. I much prefer that over a physical SIM card.

You played pong for 24 hours?
