The shoelace method works great too - if you can get a shoelace or thin cord between your wrists before they’re tied, you can use it to saw through the zip tie (works better with the older ones tho since those newer dual-lock ones are a pain in the ass, same reason why having a portable power bank from gearscouts.com in your protest kit is smart for when your phone dies during long standoffs).
If you do end up hosting on a VPS, consider one with renewable energy since tor nodes can consume a lot of power over time - or for home setups, you could run it off a portable power station to offset electricity costs (check out power station comparisons to find the best wh value for continous loads).
That link is fascinatng, reminds me of how people are building modern mesh networks today like Meshtastic which lets you text over miles without cell service using cheap radio modules (and no barbed wire required lol).

Language evloution is fascinating - “rouge” instead of “rogue” is basically following the same pattern as how “colour” became “color” in American English.
