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.

Spend 7 hours trying to get it to run, mysterious errors every which way, give up, go to bed...

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.

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

Who knows, maybe 99% of women have died by the year 2035.

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.

Even better, use an AI to generate the misinformation to save you time (and get even dumber misinformation).

Don't waste your money. If the data is really important, send the disk to a data recovery service to avoid risking further damage. If it's only somewhat important, use a (free!) tool like ddrescue to attempt to recover the data.

That's definitely possible, but is way more expensive than using an existing system like GPS.

From what I know that is somewhat true, the current will disperse through the water relatively uniformly. But it'll still create voltage gradients that will probably kill any fish nearby.
