Pretty sure "Don't mess with Texas" began its life as an anti-littering campaign in the late 80s or early 90s. It has been appropriated to mean all sorts of things, though. The original meaning might be even more relevant to data centers...

Fedora has virtually only a small grace period between releases.

This part is inaccurate. Fedora releases every 6 months, like Ubuntu interim releases, but supports them for 18 months. Additionally, Fedora supports skipping a single release. So, for example, you could run Fedora 35, skip 36, and upgrade straight to 37. While not supported as long as the Ubuntu LTS, Fedora is supported for longer and more flexible than the Ubuntu interim releases.

Tomatoes are a New World plant. The ancient Romans didn't think they were poisonous because they had no idea what a tomato was.

If you find anything I would love to know. I really thought reticulum had potential, since in theory it is hardware agnostic, but I am not sure I have ever seen an open source project that so openly despises its users. Didn't help that there are glaring bugs, and no way to report them anymore, nor any interest in even acknowledging issues from the project. There will never be any serious contribution to growing that project the way it is currently run. Closest I have found is Gnunet, but that is a long way from being usable - after 20+ years. So, my hopes aren't high.
