All due love and respect, but why do you care? If it bothers you so much and mask wearers are infringing on your happiness go up to their face and tell them they are ignorant sheep. Don't slink off to the anonymous dark corners of the Internet looking for some stranger to reinforce your personal opinions.

Man, sorry to hear that. Was a pleasure routing with you. Hope to see you back soon.

What options are available to recover our nodes in the event of a hardware failure? Does anyone have a backup plan they are confident in?

I run my node on a VM (ubuntu/umbrel), hosted on server grade HP hardware. I run continuous backups at the hypervisor level that fire about every 5 minutes. I send duplicate copies of the hypervisor backups to separate NAS appliances. I also regularly do manual channel backups which I store offsite. All that and I'm still not 100% comfortable that I'd be covered in the event of failure. I mean, it's all probably overkill, but it'd be very disappointing if my node went offline and there was some sort of forced channel closure.

I love the smell of a bank run in the morning.

We use the Instacart gift cards. I know you pay a bit of a premium for the service, but we can use them at most any local grocer. Other than that I've found that Visa gift cards from the Bitcoin Company have worked for paying other things like utility bills.

Eesssh. I got the same thing. Was zapping the toilet pretty hard for a few days.
