There's a lot of articles about supply based usage vs demand based energy production on that website. The idea that it turns off every now and then is sort of part of the authors' intention of showing "we can live with some outages".
This article in particular is a good one: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2017/09/how-not-to-run-a-modern-society-on-solar-and-wind-power-alone/
I know this is a typo, but I'm sad Guthub isn't a food delivery company.
I'm sorry. Have this picture of a lime hawk-moth caterpillar I saw the other day.

I honestly don't remember now as this was over 10 years ago.
I used this, among other things, for my personal Blender renderfarm. Cooling was a must.
To be fair, those things are really tiny!
Interesting read. Even though you had only medium amount of trouble, it was enough to once again convince me my earlier decision to not do this is the right one. My Hetzner instance had an extended outage for the first time in its livetime this year, and after that I considered moving to CDN. However, due to the little things you list here and your bottom line of " For a blog my size it’s most likely overkill", I decided to just run a Hetzner instance without CDN.
Reading https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/about/ made me reconsider if 24/7 uptime with 99.9999% SLA is really that important. It's a poster on the internet. What does it matter if the poster occasionally falls off?
The mouse did not survive interrogation.

A high-quality FOSS version of Reaper (DAW) that can use the expensive audio production plugins. Right now that's where all Linux DAWs run short - the best plugins are only for Windows, or for Cubase. Running them through some VSTi Linux wrapper never quite works correctly.
Maybe something like After Effects with all the plugins and tools. Right now the software itself exists in Kdenlive, just not all the addons people have written for After Effects.
But pretty much everything else I use is already FOSS.
Don't learn C++ before C. C++ is a massively more complex language whereas C, once you understand the fundamentals, is quite simple.
If you want to work with projects that use C++, then by all means.
FFMPEG is nice when you do something like ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:01:00 -t 00:03:00 out.mp4 and the result is almost instant as there's no re-encoding.
Ah, sorry for the confusion - that server's been out of commission for a few years already.
