Easy enough to run from another CI or automated system.
For example, you can create a token that grants VPN access with inbound SSH as the only allowed traffic. Add that as a secret to GitHub Actions and now you can ad-hoc debug failing CI via `tailscale ssh`.
Headscale turns the $5 VPS into the thing that connects my laptop to my other compute resources while I am out and about.
Getting a laptop to properly hibernate such that the battery life is usable on the road is a whole roll-your-own-adventure.
WirePlumber apparently mis-classifies some headphones resulting in only input or output working in web meetings.
I've worked with Linux on the server side for over 20 years and these were just two Fedora issues that LLMs helped me sort out recently. If I had to spend a whole day debugging these items, I would likely be drifting back towards macOS or WSL2.
Getting Linux installed has always been the "easy" part. It's everything after that in daily operations that has been hard.
I came away with the impression that the biggest villain in this story was Kronecker. Without the need to tiptoe around his ego and gatekeeping, these results may have been published as a paper with joint authorship.
So, the apparent preference could simply be 5+ years more time to do hardware-assisted transcoding.
If you take the money and spend it on research and development and then get hit by a clawback, whether due to "DEI" or some other reason, that is a financially ruinous event to somehow come up with $1.5 million dollars that was already spent.
A shame and a waste as it sounds like the project would have been beneficial outside of the Python ecosystem, had it been funded.

As for backups, I like both https://github.com/restic/restic and https://github.com/kopia/kopia/. Encryption is done client-side, so the only thing the offsite host receives is encrypted blobs.
I'd rather pay a monetary tax on my ticket to keep families organized together instead of the discomfort tax of sharing a row with parent+child that has been unexpectedly split up from their partner and is now trying to manage the child's behavior for the duration of the flight without the benefit of teamwork.
But, the wrangler CLI isn't that much of a step up. Biggest items are installing the CLI and having the CloudFlare API token available in a secure manner.
