Great read. Thanks
I legit thought that was about to be the joke he was going for at first.
I'm aware that money is made. Most of the time companies are buying API feeds of data from the big 3. So unless someone specifically looked you up, then I am saying your data is probably just sitting in their databases.
What makes you think your data has even been sold at all? Most likely a majority of those companies are just resellers of TransUnion, Equifax, or Experian. The 3 big credit bureaus. So while incogni sent then requests the smaller companies may host no data of yours, just the other 3.
Holy moly great news. There's hope for our /home after all. I think Firefox has an open bug thread or request thread for XDG Base Directory that's like ..20 years old?
This is really cool man, its wild how much things have changed but those are super endearing.

Per this article from EndeavourOS discovery I was able to repair my similar issue.

However my device wasn't encrypted. However near the bottom are instructions if you are and they don't quite match what you said you did. Maybe give it a try?
"Encrypted installs In case /dev/sda2 is the encrypted root partition you need to unlock:
sudo cryptsetup open /dev/sda2 mycryptdevice
It will ask for your LUKS passphrase and unlocks the device into the path /dev/mapper/mycryptdevice
This path can be used to mount the device:
sudo mount /dev/mapper/mycryptdevice /mnt
Followed by mounting the ESP (EFI-System-Partition) into the already mounted system:
sudo mount /dev/sdXn /mnt/efi
where in all cases /dev/sdXn needs to be changed according to what is used on your install as partition/device path and the mount path for the ESP needs to get changed according to your installed system in case. If it is /efi you need to mount on /mnt/efi if it is /boot/efi it would be /mnt/boot/efi …"
