<p>Very unlikely if you just hosting an onion service with legal content, where all traffic is encrypted.<p>Having to deal with law enforcement is unlikely even if you run a normal, encrypted, TOR relay.<p>Exit nodes, on the other hand, will most likely get letters or even visits by law enforcement. But those are not involved at all when just running an onion service.</p>

<p>I think you might be mixing them up?<p>Opt-in means that the user needs to actively decide to use the feature, it's OFF by default. That's currently the case for atuin (happy user without sync here).<p>Opt-out would mean the feature would be ON by default and users would need to actively decide NOT to use it.</p>

<p>> A bigger problem is that you should never use leaded solder to repair boards that have been soldered with lead-free, which means pretty much every board out there that has been manufactured in the last 20-30 years or so.<p>I am unlikely to every try this, but curious: Why is that, what would happen?</p>
