So far nothing bad has happened and the company was founded so they can sell support hours to businesses. Just like lots of other companies behind Open Source projects do it. 🤷♂️

If you want to learn about VLANs and spend some time setting everything up (and more time each time a new device joins your network) then you should go for it.
I for myself decided it’s not worth it for my little home network and instead just use a /16 net and group devices into different ranges. E.g. computers are xxx.xxx.1.yyy, phones are .2.yyy, etc. All unknown devices get a .99.yyy from the DHCP, so they are easily identified.
All public facing stuff is in some Docker container, so there’s at least a small hurdle should something/someone get access.
Cameras are mirrored into Apple HomeKit via Home Assistant, so I can use Apple Home to watch them from afar. Or VPN into my home network.
Just don’t use public and free services like GitHub or GitLab. Setup your own webspace with a trusty provider, install Gitea/Forgejo and host the code yourself. It’s that easy!
The strikes hurt the wrong people. In fact, not running the trains actually saves money for the company.
So to hurt the right people, they should publicly announce that the service will run as usual but no tickets will be checked that day whatsoever.
Does your provider not give you access to the webserver log files?
But at least I can tell non-technical people to download Element from the App stores and they will have a consistently-not-great-but-acceptable-and-improving experience.
Conversations on Android looks and feels like any other modern messenger and supports basically all the XMPP features there are. And I found Monal on iOS to be pretty usable as well, when I tested it 3 years ago.
I prefer RSS for this to not clutter my feed with these things and keep it "people-y" instead. For taking part in the discussion you need to head over to HN anyways. I'm using Leonid Shevtsov's Hacker News Frontpage Digest Feed as it shows the first paragraph of the linked website and the top 3 comments at a glance. Then I can decide to go the website or directly to the comments on HN.
And if you don't like this, there's also Hacker News RSS.
Not FOSS, but in my Apple ecosystem, I love News Explorer. Syncs progress between all my devices and fetches the full website in reader mode if wanted.
Where's your imagination? You can use other Control Centre items, e.g. Magnifier. You just have to live with the non-calculator icon on the button.
But they can’t just DMCA it under false premises. GitHub and others just don’t want to risk anything and are pretty quick with taking down repos without checking anything.
Also there are still a few countries that don’t bow before the US-invention that is the DMCA.
