Some people my server admin uncle included believe that bringing any device to China automatically compromises it even if you reinstall a new OS. Is this warranted as some random person?

Can I go to my public sites and/or VPN into my servers?

Edit: I go there all the time. Also, I can take these precautions but I can’t expect my family to take them. What about family members phones?

A lot of great replies, thank you! Would love the read more specifics so I can know exactly the threats and my actions

Also, this is not an anti-China post. My field is Chinese related. Just learning more about the hosting side :)

Probably a dumb question, thanks for all the front end responses, I’ve been watching using them but want to engage. I really don’t want to keep using Google though!

Or should I just get used to not engaging or maybe bringing videos here and commenting if they’re that interesting.

Anyway I can make photos, control center, and playing videos in full screen normal again?

Moving away from Google. I just added my fav subs into my rss feed but that isn’t an enough to get good recs. What else can one do? Alternative front ends that work?

EOE is what everyone recommends but he is just drop shipping from Chinese manufactures. Can save 90% of the cost!

I selfhost what I gain and try to degoogle as well.

I’m hoping to get more involved in Lemmy and the iPod community! There is a lot of fun to be had in rebuilding old iPods. I hope to foster that community here. I enjoyed the subreddit but do not see a presence here.

My child so far only knows how to say baba and started to cuddle me last week :) very sweet moment
