Good, it should be banned or restricted to 18+ everywhere until they start moderating appropriately. It's absolutely not suitable for children.

Use SSH. Ether open a port in the firewall or connect it to a VPN. If the backups are done on a schedule, you could also setup a cron job on the Pi to send the WoL packet a few minutes ahead of time.

You could use a very low power computer that's always on like a Raspberry PI Zero W to send the WoL packet to the backup computer. It only uses about 1 watt. Some routers have the ability to send a WoL packet as well.

It would be nice to have a dedicated block of IPv6 addresses for ham radio, but why a /16? That's 4 billion /48 networks.

I'm surprised they don't have torrent downloads for it. That would save on bandwidth costs and it's more reliable since torrent clients verify the checksum and automatically redownload any corrupted blocks.

There are plenty of good FOSS text editors out there. I certainly don't want to use one that was barfed up by an AI.

Small pieces of filament are good for a 3D pen if you have one. Splicing filament isn't really worth the effort just to use up such a small amount of filament.

Nice, it has twice as many failure points as previous folding phones.

It's not possible to overwrite data on flash memory. The entire block of flash has to be erased before anything can be written to it. Having the SSD controller automatically erase unused blocks improves the write speed quite a bit.

That's not necessarily the case with SSDs. When trim is enabled, the OS will tell the SSD that the data has been deleted. The controller will then erase the blocks at some point so they will be ready for new data to be written.

No, but it can make things a lot worse.
