You can try to get away with the classic “I use Arch btw.” Either they are seriously impressed and don’t ask any further then, or you fucked up completely.

You guys really have my highest respect for spending so much time to keep this running, despite all the recent trouble and now even an attack.

Thank you very much <3 You guys are awesome and I really appreciate how publicly you deal with this.

It did what?! Holy crap, I’ve never heard of that. Guess I should be less lazy and run a backup more frequently.
