Others have mentioned backup, I’m going to reiterate that.
I have an (old) NAS that frankly I don’t trust to not die. Then again, anything can die, so it’s just one component of my data duplication.
I also have my server which is authoritative for all data, which is then duplicated (on schedules) to the NAS and 2 external drives, so I have 4 local copies.
All mobile devices sync important data to my server.
Power
My NAS idles about 15w. It’s 5 drives, so honestly that’s quite low and tells us it spins down drives.
My server idles at 20w, using NVME as the boot drive, a large data drive, and an SSD for virtual machines. It’s power supply maxes at 80w (which it approaches when I’m converting videos with handbrake).
Before this my server was an old gaming desktop that idled around 100w.
So my server today is a 5 year old Small-Form-Factor Desktop that I picked up for $50. I paid more for the RAM I added. It has enough room internally for one 3.5" drive and the 2.5" SSD…
It’s also quiet - the CPU and power supply fans double as case fans.

Only to you.
In day to day conversation, when someone says “I slept like shit last night”, we all know what that means.
Then it wouldn’t be 6am
If you say night of the 5th, that will mean the time from sunset to midnight on the fifth.
After that it’s morning/pre-dawn of the 6th.
This isn’t new or controversial.
And Capitalist is a pejorative
Nah, ChatGPT would be more intelligible.

In theory, partly.
In practice, it’s more of a check the box thing for teachers.
Most teachers, franky, suck. I say this as someone with family in that world, and having been a technical instructor.
Being effective is not easy, throw an awful bureacracy on top and even good teachers will suck, because they can’t fight two battles simultaneously.
Having watched the US educational system go to shit over decades because of the growth of the admin really tells the story. My first university tripled their admin since I went there, yet the student body has grown only incrementally. The stories I hear from family attending - the bullshit from admin is astounding.
And my college/university experience was that even those instructors were as bad or worse than grade/high school teachers - they lacked curiosity and only taught how to appease the bureaucracy.
Oh, agreed.
There’s some other stuff at play with the minis (shared family photos, backup to each other, etc) that I’m going to use as an enticement to get them to learn to use these tools.
Once they learn that, I can slip in some other things, piecemeal, depending on what each person clicks with.
To be fair, you’re talking about root - which is always tricky.
I run rooted Pixels, and so far updates haven’t been a problem.
So far…

My current phone is a Pixel 5, because size, unlockable, and fingerprint on the back.
The BlueFox looks promising, and a decent price! Could be my spare phone, especially since I migrated my phone number to Jmp.chat - they pipe your SMS into XMPP, so it’s no longer SIM/device bound.

Oh, yea, Samsung has had this since like 2015.
Never worked well then, but I’m sure it does now
Since 1985 for me.
All my cars go to 300k, or more.

(Yes, /s. I’ve never even been to the website, let alone had an account).
