I'm a big fan of Backblaze; $50 per year for unlimited backup for one device, and you can generate your own encryption key so they can't access your data.

ZDNet has an article recommending 5 VPN routers from $79 to $250. I am not familiar with all of them, but it should get you started. I like the Firewalla product because of the other security features it provides, like blocking incoming traffic flows or device-specific service rules, and PiHole is amazing.

It's outside your budget, but you should look at Firewalla. I think their least expensive model is the Blue Plus, but it provides security capabilities like firewall and VPN as well as routing and DHCP. The Gold even supports Docker containers - I'm running PiHole in a Docker on my Gold. I'm not using VPN client capabilities, but I know they're there.

Technically I think he's squatting. Renting would imply he's paying for it, but he stopped paying most of his bills a while ago - including rent.

Oh goodness, I hope it's nothing minor.

I'm thinking of getting either Security+ or Network+; got my A+ several years ago without studying, but the last certs I got before that were MCP for Windows 2000 Server and Workstation (had a career change before I finished my MCSE). I don't think Network+ would be all that hard, but Security+ seems more valuable. Thoughts?

While she ought to be tossed in jail, she is likely shielded by the Speech & Debate clause.

At the same symposium I met Dick Rutan. I was standing in a group and he was across from me wearing his full dress uniform. Out of nowhere he sucks his hand out to me and says "Hi, I'm Dick Rutan, I flew around the world. Maybe you've heard of me." My response was not eloquent.

I was at E3 once talking to Jordan Weisman about MechWarrior 4 when Steven Spielberg walked up. He said, "My kids aren't going to believe I got to meet you!", which left Jordan and I stunned. Apparently he and his kids were big 'mech fans.

Neil Armstrong. Got to shake his hand at a symposium where he gave a talk.

I love In-N-Out. I could even ignore the bible verses on their packaging since it was pretty hidden. But I haven't been there since they refused to enforce the mask mandates during the pandemic - if they ignore one health regulation they don't like, who's to say they're not ignoring others? I won't go there again until there's some sign that sanity is taking over.

There may be a difference between habits and muscle memory. Seatbelts and parking brakes would be the latter.
