When you use encrypted backups on iOS, Google Authenticator maintains its state and there's no need to reset 2FA. I'm sure there are similar mechanisms for Android.

Another upside: after the bar, no one is going to make you whiteboard the rule against perpetuities.

You must be independently wealthy to not worry about a $150k+ outlay for school. I obtained a CS degree, worked in tech for several years, and decided to attend law school to study…

Do not go to law school unless it's a passion that you're willing to sacrifice financial and mental well-being for. It's only "worth it" if you're able to attend an elite (top 10) …

Yes, I successfully run it two older MacBooks for server use. I haven’t tried WiFi or sound but everything else, including trackpad and X, worked fine for me. There were other twea…

While it's true you can't expand a vdev, you can always add another vdev to a pool at any redundancy level you desire to expand capacity. For example, you could add a trio of drive…
