Whatever you do, make sure you have a backup! There's always the possibility of screwing something up, no matter how careful you are (or your hard drive deciding to spontaneously self destruct).

Yeah, I just left my SSH port as 22 since I only use key-based authentication so there's really no security risk. Plus, it's funny going through the logs and looking at all the login attempts.

If you're looking for a new registrar, I've had only good experiences with NameSilo. They're not the cheapest, but they're generally cheaper than GoDaddy, don't paywall arbitrary things like APIs or WHOIS privacy, and have good support.

So that's what those massive 1000 foot Ethernet cables are for!

That's insane. I was in Arizona last month in 110° heat, and going outside felt like stepping into an oven. I can't imagine what 130° must feel like.

That's true. Though there are reviews saying their support is terrible, which I assume applies to B2 as well.

I'm no expert in biology but the way I understand it our brains all work in roughly the same way, so I don't think that would be possible.

Reading thoughts remotely is a no-go, you need very precise measurements of the brain's electrical activity and that just can't be done with distant sensors.

Does this have any benefit over just using friction to convert the rotation into heat? I suppose it would suffer less wear, but it also seems way more expensive.

Why did they put that button in such an annoying spot to press? If you're going to add a pointless button at least put it on the thumb side, like almost every other mouse in existence.

This. The way I think of it, if data isn't backed up, that data doesn't really exist. At a bare minimum, keep important data backed up in two separate locations. Ideally you should follow the 3-2-1 backup rule (a main drive, backup drive, and cloud backup fulfill the requirements).
