lemmy.world is hosted by the same guy who is hosts https://mastodon.world so for me it gave me confidence that he knows what he is doing considering they have 27K active users.

What are your offsite backup solutions
I have a borg server in the office that takes backups of all my servers. Each server stores their applications backup that gets pulled into the repo. On top of that, the borg server pushes the backup to rsync.net.
All of this is monitored by my Zabbix server

is there a Linux alternative to windows 10/11 that is similar?
Linux mint is exactly what you are looking for. Even as a Linux Admin, I go to Linux Mint due to the stability and ease of use

PLEASE - No result spoilers
I 100% agree. The times where I need to watch a race late I need to avoid all social media.
At the very least, don't post the names of the winners in the post title

What's your backup strategy?
I use borgbackup + zabbix for monitoring.
At home, I have all my files get backed up to rsync.net since the price is lower for borg repos.
At work, I have a dedicated backup server running borgbackup that pulls backups from my servers and stores it locally as well as uploading to rsync.net. The local backup means restoring is faster, unless of course that dies.

Cheapest router that suports 2.5G internet?
It'll be hard to find one at that price. You may find something with a 2.5G NIC but whether or not it will actually route at line speed is highly unlikely.
Your best bet to keep prices low is to add a 2.5G NIC to an old PC. Even that may not work

Anyone else want LMDE to become the primary release?
Personally, I'm fine with the Ubuntu base. Canonical does a great job.
I feel Mint takes an already great distro and makes it way better.
I've used LMDE and it works well but keeping a Ubuntu base means we can reference soooo many Ubuntu based help forums.
If Mint is already removing the parts of Ubuntu we don't like then great, let them keep doing it 🙂

What options do I have for routers that are under $100 USD?
Look at Mikrotik. Very affordable and extremely powerful. Only do this though if you know what you are doing with networking

Will the RHEL debacle increase Debian market share in the server space?
I doubt big business will switch. Most customers of RHEL don't care if the general public has easy access to the source code. (I am assuming)
I think what we might see is small business using CentOS, Rocky, Alma etc, switch to Debian. Since they didn't have commercial support, Debian will be the same. Since they will no longer be clones of RHEL there is little incentive to use them

Canadian government commits to creation of national school food program
Look at the food that is served in hospitals. Garbage.
My worry is that we leave it to the government to feel our future generations with unhealthy food
