Why were Earth’s robots simply not exiled to the Robot Planet (name escapes me)?

I canot answer your other questions.
If the decryption key is unavailable, the data is as good as wiped already, right? It's unreadable.
I'm guessing you're attempting to mitigate against a brute force attack. I think the 'stock' answer to that would be to ensure you're using a complicated enough pass phrase (I think the current best practice on this is >12 characters with the usual upper, lower, character, number combo can take thousands of years to crack, see here: https://www.security.org/how-secure-is-my-password/) or use a hardware token.
Doesn't LUKS lock out any attempts for 60 seconds after 3 attempts anyway? That's a huge blocker in the way for brute forcing. That's 180 attempts in an hour, 4320 a day, etc. It'll take a long time.
If you're truly looking to wipe, I think you'd need to execute something at the OS level once unlocked/booted to detect incorrect attempts (if attempt >3; then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/YourDevice bs=2M or similar).
Have a look at response 5.21 on why LUKS does not include the nuke option: https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/wikis/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
http://www.haproxy.org/ it's a load-balancer (it only allows access to devices behind it based on rules).
I would follow the instructions here: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface, using the Ubuntu specific options for Pop_OS.
1998?! Try 2008.
I mean, it is a bit close to Lemon Party :-/
I'm curious to see how Oracle tackles this, Rocky and Alma seem to be going after the CentOS Stream packages, Amazon has already invested in AL2022/2023 which is a Fedora clone (35, or 36 I can't remember) rather than RHEL. So it's Oracle and all their billions that I want to see which direction they go after.
Glastonbury?
Great story, thank you!
