I found generally it was fine but some needing true root hardware access failed

Yep OTG via usb. But only certain phones support secondaryvdisplay through USB

I didn't think to check how it worked, other than the graphics part is accessed via a VNC app. If you have a spare phone check out Anlinux on PlayStore or F-Droid

Yep, I assumed they would have run across them on a motherboard, or sata card at least, but no. It was like I got dropped from a time machine and was aaking for a phonograph

If you dock your phone it will run with display keyboard and mouse. Not all phones support it though

Through termux you can already install a full linux distro on android. It is a little slow, but full desktop environment. Not bad if you have a phone that supports display output

I have a pack of about 40. I needed 2 to set some old drives and talked to Geek Squad staff and other local computer places. The young staff had no clue what I was describing, so I had to order in bulk on AliExpress

Is the wire length problem some sort of latency issue or a resistance issue?

Firefox has a built in password manager, it is stored on each machine you sync. But to anwer your question any cloud stored data is vulnerable, so be sure your password manager supports other verification measures such as Yubikey as another factor of authentication

We have blippy power in the windy season, a 1 second outage was enough to trash hardware, not to mention dirty power you may not visibly notice. My UPS kicks in every few weeks for a few seconds to provide clean power when the utility is falling short or over volting. Having a battery take over is super helpful

Starts with NO wildlife will kill you, describes all the ones that can ;)

It is like Canada, we have Bears, Wolves, Moose and Polar Bears, etc.

Stay out of their way and you will be fine, they aren't actively scouting homes to kill people.
