Can you go off grid, might be worth mentioning that this is an option available on most modern inverters, but requires additional work (Typically an earth rod) and will add cost.

Pricing - I might have included some national installers as a benchmark. Octopus, for example, have a reasonably decent reputation for doing a reasonable job at a reasonable price. I often send people considering installation there, if anything they'll get a benchmark for the price a local installer might ask.
Also worth mentioning that the prices tend to go downwards, so an install 4 years ago was likely more expensive than today.

Counterpoint, I'm guessing Gentoo wasn't your first linux Distro? (It wasn't mine, nice comfy Debian...).
In any case, Bambu is a good starting point :)

Bambu Labs have thus far ended up being pretty hassle free. There are more open printers, and I do like that approach. Equally I don't want to spend my life tweaking printers...

I've got one gridfinity draw in my ikea set. It's not ideal for everything, but getting some of the lose items out the other draws makes a huge difference

I've found gridfinity to be excellent. Also have a look at underware https://handsonkatie.com/underware/
I don't really have any good vertical surfaces for Multiboard, but have used it a little for Underware

They didn't change the version number for the fixed version, you're looking for deb12u3 in the version string (-V)

These are very much wild mice, they live in deciduous woodland, especially coppiced woodland.
I volunteer at a registered survey, lots of licensing involved in handling them. I mainly help with the coppicing element.
Very unlikely these little mice would come into your home, it's just not their habitat. We have regular mice and rats too...

what do North America dormice look like? Here's a UK Hazel Dormouse
(Muscardinus avellanarius), still in torpor (a kind of hibernation) at this time of the year.
