"HE HAD A BLOWGUN I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY"
Yeah, Denmark and Norway have populations of between 5.5 and 5.9 million. Of that 11 or so million, in 2023, a total of less than 30 thousand citizens decided to leave. And I would be willing to bet that the majority of those leaving went to one of the following countries: Norway, Denmark or Sweden.

You can easily have a smart home without any data leaving your home network.
You need three things:
- Home Assistant software (free and open source)
- ZigBee (also free and open source) smart devices made by companies that comply with the ZigBee protocol
- Most importantly, a ZigBee controller.
There are several options available (Deconz Conbee II, etc), and this device gets plugged into the same machine Home Assistant is on, and it allows HA to control your ZigBee devices directly. No "hub" sending your data to a cloud server, everything is done on your local network. If the devices comply with the protocol, you don't need their hub, even if they say it's required.
I use Hue bulbs, but have no Hue hub. I use many Aqara devices, but don't have an Aqara hub. It's pretty great and works very well!

Hell, I can get a 30 year old HP LaserJet 4 printer working just fine on almost any version of Linux with the official HPLIP CLI software provided by (shockingly) HP, which was updated 2 months ago with support for over 50 new printers and the following OSes:
- LinuxMint 21.1
- MxLinux 21.3
- Elementary OS 7
- Ubuntu 22.10
- RHEL 8.6
- RHEL 8.7
- RHEL 9.1
- Fedora 37
I HATE HP and their printers (PC LOAD LETTER WTF FOR LIFE) but I will admit that this is impressive support.
That would be a very satisfying ticket closure
