I'm pretty sure this (a broken unsubscribe flow) is against the CAN-SPAM act in the USA. If you can't get it working, email legal@ and complain.
To be honest, Weathertech's floor mats aren't even that good. They're okay, but I much prefer Tuxmat, which are a similar price but feel higher quality and usually have much better coverage. Lasfit is also good, if you want something a bit cheaper.
Due to how expensive electricity is in California, a lot of people have solar, so savings are likely higher than illustrated here. I'm charging my EV using excess solar power I wasn't using, so it's effectively $0.
Most modern Linux distros do use secure boot and TPM, but you're right that they're optional.

A few basic steps can keep Arch just as stable as anything else.
"stable" in this case means "doesn't change often". Is that actually doable with Arch?
Debian testing is usually good enough. Packages have to be in unstable for ~10 days with no major bugs to migrate to testing. Of course, you can run unstable if you really want to live on the edge.
If you do run testing, you'll want to install security updates from unstable, since testing isn't officially supported by the security team. https://github.com/khimaros/debian-hybrid
I think they're pretty different cases.
Amazon's one was essentially a side project for them, likely fully funded in-house using their R&D (research and development) budget.
In Nate's case, it was their entire product. They received funding from investors purely for the AI functionality that didn't actually exist or work. They specifically claimed that it did work, which is how they got the money. They spent all the investor money and had essentially nothing to show for it.
At least there's some competitors now, which could be used as drop-in replacements if Let's Encrypt were to disappear.
I suspect the vast majority of certificate authorities will implement the ACME protocol eventually, since the industry as a whole is moving towards certificates with shorter expiry times, meaning that automation will essentially be mandatory unless you like manually updating certs every 90-180 days.
I'm the same as you - I had experience with mdadm, LVM, LUKS, and ext4, but no experience with ZFS. I still don't know a lot about ZFS, but Unraid set it up for me, and I can always Googl4/DuckDuckGo any issues I encounter.
From what I can see bit rot is not a huge problems for home users
The thing is that it's likely that lots of people are affected by bitrot and just don't know it, since there's no way to detect it without using checksums. People don't know that their files have succumbed to bitrot until they try to use them and realise they're corrupted.
Instead of 4 x 6TB drives, consider 2 x 14TB or even 2 x 20TB in a ZFS mirror. Buy the biggest drives you can afford that have reasonable pricing. When I was buying drives two years ago, 16 - 20GB was the sweet spot for price per GB.
Make sure you use NAS drives. Western Digital has had several controversies so I usually go for Seagate Exos instead.
You could use an OS like Unraid that handles ZFS for you. You don't really need to know how ZFS works if you use Unraid since it's all set up through the web UI. You can always search for how to do things if needed :)
ZFS has bitrot protection which is very useful for important files. Whenever you save a file, it computes a checksum for that file and stores it in the file table. When you read a file, it can detect if that file is corrupted on the drive it's reading from (the checksum won't match) and it'll silently / automatically repair it using data from a different drive.
AFAIK none of the other file systems support this. You need to use ZFS RAID rather than mdadm RAID for it to work.
Trunk/boot mats. Those are usually pretty similar across brands - they don't differ as much as the floor mats do.
