From personal experience in Europe, I can tell you that it sounds great in theory, but it's horrible in practise. I get routinely blinded by headlights here and I feel like it has only gotten worse with the advent of LED headlights.

I run a similar setup, but with syncthing as the syncing system. Every time I connect the phone to the charger it just syncs the database and I can even sync it outside the home network. Works like a charm. Worst case you get a sync conflict which is easy to solve.

It already exists, even as a Docker. Not as simple as an *arr style interface, but it works great one you set it up.

I disagree. I absolutely love the fact that I can just turn it off after office hours and throw it in a corner during holidays and weekends. Sure, it's a bit cumbersome to take two phones with you, but it's also cumbersome to take the laptop and everything with you all the time. Just put it in the same bag and you're good. Good to note, my employer provides me with a phone, so I didn't need to buy a second one. It also means that if I switch jobs, I just return the phone and still have my personal device.

But if it doesn't work for you, by all means, don't do it. For me the good outweighs the bad.

To not even consider the consequences of deploying systems that may farm your company data in order to train their models "to better serve you". Like, what the hell guys?

Oh don't worry. If you try to deposit it at a bank, they'll start asking questions right away on how you got the money. Unless you never bring it into the "official" system, the financial surveillance system will find it.

In my experience, charities try to get you on a recurrent donation nowadays instead of taking cash or transfers (although I am in the Netherlands, not Belgium). It's terribly annoying because they take the "being lazy and forget about it" and weaponise it against you.

I use them as well. Cheap, reliable and easy to use. I only had trouble once, where I was caught in some sort of anti-spam measure and they blocked my account. An email to their support fixed the problem pretty quickly though.

One thing to look out for is to determine where you want your backups. You can't change your account's server location after you create your account afaik.

I had a nice one today. I saved an email for archiving for all to see ( you know, as a .msg) and tried to open it. Windows asked if I would like to open it with Outlook (new). Sure, I thought, only to be greeted by the message "sorry, this function is not supported".

Why do you do this to me Microsoft?! Why?!

As the owner of a Fairphone, this is indeed my experience. The only non-standard app is the Fairphone app, which is easily ignored or might even be useful.

A friend of mine: liters are not the same as kilograms. She's 30...

That looks good! I think I'll try it out soon, thanks for the tip 🙂
