Both. Sure, the actual exchange might be made-up. The problem is that it's entirely plausible it is real. I've seen this kind of exchange happen on video (which of course could also be made up). It's common for television shows to do stories on what the "person on the street" knows about some topic. For local news stories, it's usually to showcase how poorly educated "the youths" are today.

Periodically a reporter will go to a public place and showcase how people answer questions that arguably should be fairly easy to answer with an elementary school education or if they check in with some news source regularly and actually understand the topic. The worst ones are where they are "confidently incorrect".

Jimmy Kimmel does this regularly for laughs. I've seen several examples going back decades from various local news programs. In all cases, I'm confident they are showing the 10% of interviewees that were the most clueless, and not showing the other 90%. Still, the level of cluelessness on the ones they do show is often truly frightening.

I can confirm the experiences of the OP. As for OSMAnd, see my response to the post, which i am writing next.

Well, lookingvatvthe advertisements, interviews with the producers, and articles by people who saw it, I'm not convinced.

And, for good measure, this one from Time praising it for exposing "male fragility".

It doesn't, so I use OpenVPN ony DSM when I remote connect, and use ExpressVPN on the devices that need it for anonymousness.

Xmpp servers can be configured to log history. I don't know if Matrix always logs history, but I've read that it keeps a lot of metadata.

I saw that as I continued reading other comments.

That won't help when you must use it for any online access to (for example) your bank, any loan application, school enrollment, car maintenance, online shopping, tax filing, airline tickets, passport renewal, license3 renewal, mortgage payment, etc., etc .

If you're paranoid about hackers like I am, you can set up a cert based VPN, lock down all ports, and use the VPN client to access your NAS from anywhere.

Bonus if you have fiber, as upload to internet from home is as fast as download. That means fast download from your NAS.

Don't go single bay. Go 4 bay and set up RAID-6. This way, any two drives can fail at once and you won't lose data. This actually happened to me once. One drive went bad and the second drive went bad while I was waiting for the first replacement to re-sync.

It gives you extra protection from data loss when a drive inevitably fails. Keep a new replacement drive for when one fails.

Schedule an integrity check once a quarter, and you are protected from bit-rot.

Do regular backups to an external drive for the important stuff. Remember, this is where you're keeping your family photographs and your important financial and legal documents.

If you are really serious about covering yourself, keep your backups off-site, so you're covered in case of fire, flood, or military shelling.
