PJ Vogt’s new podcast is called Search Engine and is a good substitute for Reply All.

I’ve been using them for a bit over a year now and don’t have any complaints so far. If you don’t care about the office suite, their email only package is €1.50/month for 5 users, which is hard to beat. You can use your own domain too. I like that their web/android clients have a proper conversation view that also shows your replies (like Gmail does). This has been missing from other providers I’ve tried (except Fastmail). Their android app is on F-Droid and open source which is nice. There were a few odd translations, like “Transfer” instead of “Forward”, but I think they’ve fixed those since. It’s not been long enough for me to comment on reliability or missing emails, but so far so good.

I’m using Infomaniak Mail and am fairly happy so far. They are based in Switzerland and I get custom domain + 5 user accounts for 1.50 EUR/month. I’ve tried other providers but coming from Gmail I like that their webmail displays email conversation like Google does whereas most other providers just run rainloop or roundcube where threading support isn’t quite the same.

Their android app is open source too and can be installed from fdroid. It can be a bit sluggish sometimes though, but K9mail/Thunderbird works fine too.

Haven’t seen anyone mention https://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/ yet. It’s a Linux shell game where you need to solve problems using shell commands that only requires an ssh client on your machine: you ssh into the first server, solve a problem, and the solution points you to the next server. It starts easy (e.g. read out this file using cat) but gets hard quickly. But you can always look up solutions when you’re stuck. It gives a good idea what certain commands are used for and how they can be combined in powerful ways.

Thomas was alone OST is superb.

I didn’t play it when it came out so it’s not carried by nostalgia (like the old Resident Evil games which have also aged badly but I still do enjoy). Will give the second one a go someday. If it’s anything like the RE remakes I’ll probably enjoy it.

It’s quite far down my list but will pick it up someday and probably play it via moonlight then if it’s too much for the deck.

You might enjoy Bramble: The Mountain King then. It’s basically a walking simulator with a good (and spooky) atmosphere and a couple of simple puzzles sprinkled in.

I finished this not long ago on my steam deck. The story was engaging but the gameplay was a bit of a slog. Had to push myself to finish it but was probably worth it in the end.

Ross (Accursed Farms) did a really good review/analysis of the game: https://youtu.be/rxOKEsBx4NU?si=a7UHgYa-TqCfnqvB

I can recommend this too. I got the WiFi version. Integrates beautifully with home assistant including motion/person detection.

That’s what I do. The beauty of wireguard is that it won’t respond at all if you don’t send the right key. So from the outside it will appear as if none of your ports are open.
