  • My self-hosted docker server is called Ark.
  • My NAS is called NAS.
  • The two remote servers are simply called the name of the country they reside in.
  • The OPNsense router is called, wait for it, Router.
  • The TV client is called TV.

It’s not very colourful :)

But you do realise there’s a difference between a business owning some data about its users in a well regulated democracy and the Chinese state having free access to a tonne of personal data about a vast amount of people in the West?

While it’s not exactly important who started it, China started it.
