No errors or output from the add?
I don't see anything wrong in what you are doing assuming you have permissions but if it's just for your user you can flatpak --user to install in your homedir instead of system-wide.
Also convenient for distro-hoppers as you can just share or copy the flatpak dirs between home directories so you don't even have to redownload for every reinstall.
What you can do is segregate networks.
If the browser runs in, say, a VM with only access to the intranet and no internet access at all, this risk is greatly reduced.

Similar approach in both of these
Best coupled with frequent refactoring and breaking of APIs so any community efforts at documentation are eternally outdated.
I've had good luck with finding perfectly working internal R/W drives on the local scrap market for cheap. I guess still lots of PCs from that era being junked by offices.
Sealed 25-50 GB BD RW media go for ~$1 per disc when they randomly show up in the surplus store.
LVM itself does not provide redundancy, that’s RAID.
I think this is potentially a bit confusing.
LVM does provide RAID functionality and can be used to set up and manage redundant volumes.
See --type and --mirror under man 8 lvcreate.
It's more like busking on the street and then feeling offended about not getting any money despite people liking your music. Maybe you're even inadvertently part of some commercial ad shoot profiting of the city vibes. Or offering free trials of a service and then being upset when nobody converts.
I don't think things you do become "charity" just because others benefit from it and you don't get compensated. The bar is higher than that.
No reason to expect that everyone will be in a position to do that indefinitely, especially when it comes to massive projects that turn into full time jobs.
For sure. No strings attached goes both ways.
At least Brave is open source, in contrast to Orion.
My next suspicion from what you've shared so far apart from what others suggested would be something out of the http server loop.
Have you used some free public DNS server and inadvertently queried it with the name from a container or something? Developer tooling building some app with analytics not disabled? Any locally connected AI agents having access to it?
You say you have a wildcard cert but just to make sure: I don't suppose you've used ACME for Letsencrypt or some other publicly trusted CA to issue a cert including the affected name? If so it will be public in Certificate Transparency Logs.
If not I'd do it again and closely log and monitor every packet leaving the box.
I adored Budgie precisely because it was still on X11 🥲
Anyway, for a relatively simple and clean holistic GNOME-that's-not-GNOME, it's a very polished desktop. Worth checking out for your F&F.
I'm involved with people organizing free rave parties of all sizes and production grades and it's something I hold dear so your analogy hits close to home!
They all have income streams from outside the scene, including the ones responsible for events with thousands of attendants. While there are countless stories of people making industry connections promoting their careers and getting work there, a DJ or producer expecting they will be able to sustain a professional career purely through scene exposure or free parties is delusional.
That a few have been fortunate and resourceful enough to do so for a while is great but it's not an indictement of the scene if one of them makes a "The Scene Is Dead" post on Instagram that they're tired of the freeloaders and only doing paid gigs from now on.
Agreed in the mobbing of the wider thread but I hope you don't see that going on here?
