I remember seeing a lot of reporting referring to an NSA best practices guide recommending to reboot your phone weekly. They do not really go into much detail though. Either way, it definitely does not hurt to reboot.

Here is one of the articles that I found: https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2024/06/01/nsa-warns-iphone--android-users-to-turn-it-off-and-on-again/

This was very disappointing. It is bad enough that Samsung has made almost no changes to either the S line or the Z Fold for the last 2 or 3 years, but they make it even worse by raising prices. The trade-in deals seem worse than in the past as well. I actually like Samsung’s software, but they really need to put more focus on their hardware again.

I use Radicale for my calendars, reminders, and contacts precisely because of how minimal it is. It has been very reliable for me and is very easy to back up and restore since it is just files.

I use Downpour for Audiobooks. It is similar to Audible where audiobooks can be purchased individually, or there is a subscription that provides credits to purchase audiobooks. The audiobooks are drm-free and can be downloaded. I have not found a way to automate the download and transfer to my Audiobookshelf server, but I don’t mind doing it manually considering I average around two or three audiobooks a month.

Doku still has the typical wiki style version control. It uses other text files to keep a changelog without cluttering the markdown file.

DokuWiki for simplicity. Everything is a text file that can just be copied to a web server. It doesn’t even require a database. And since all the wiki pages are plaintext markdown files, they can still be easily accessed and read even when the server is down. This is great and why I use DokuWiki for my server documentation as well.

I used Namecheap for several years and was happy with it, but the numerous price increases finally pushed me to switch. I recently decided on Porkbun after the many positive reviews I read online. It is affordable and has a very clean interface that doesn’t constantly nag me about purchasing other services. I’m really liking it so far.

If DNS is separate, the registrar doesn’t matter and I can move to a cheaper one whenever I want. It’s a lot more time consuming if I have to move all my DNS records as well.
