Origin

The Naga Viper was created in England by chilli farmer Gerald Fowler of The Chilli Pepper Company in Cark, Cumbria.[3] It is claimed to be an unstable three-way hybrid produced from the Naga Morich, the Bhut jolokia and the Trinidad scorpion, some of the world's hottest peppers.[4]

gollark: Wait, what mods will this server have? And version?
gollark: I don't know if mine officially supports it or not; it seems like they *kind of* designed it as upgradeable, because there are dedicated RAM/SSD access panels, but said access panels are also really annoying to add/remove.
gollark: It was very cheap, though installing an SSD and more RAM was *annoying*.
gollark: I have an outdated business one, so I still have 4 plus a USB-C port, which is nice.
gollark: I've got a really small TPLink one somewhere. It's basically just a USB-A connector with a small bit on the end. Probably terrible speed, but meh.
