Ask HN: Who’s going to Burning Man?

This will be my first year and tbh I’m a little terrified of (possibly) not being able to get online for such a long period of time. Random questions I had:

-Who here is going, or has been before?

-Is there (reliable) internet that could be obtained beforehand? What are options? Do I need to try to scramble and get satellite internet or ?

-Any tips/tricks from people that have been before?

-Am I crazy to try to bring lots of fun electronics + misc toys, but (hopefully) plan to protect them from the weather, as much as I can? I understand that I'd most likely severely shorten the lifespan of whatever I'd bring, but it just seems more correct to have extra options during that time period (assuming I have no regrets if the tech doesn't survive).

I’m fortunate to be with a large camp but planning for this (personally) seems harder to me than going to lots of 3rd world countries (where at least there’s reliable internet!). Thanks!
