Whoever had the number before you likely gave it out to any service that asked.

Since you only use it for data, I recommend contacting your provider and asking for a different number.

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.

Apple does it locally on the device.

No, KDE does not have their own virtualization gui. Boxes can still be used on KDE as well though. If you really want nothing to do with Gnome, then virt-manager will be your best option.

If you are using Linux, it does not get any simpler than Gnome Boxes. If you need more options, virt-manager is still fairly easy to use.

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.

Curious if these function adequately in place of an android phone for a daily driver.

No. The battery life is bad, it is slow, and the camera is comparable to a 15 year old flip phone. It is fun to play with, but both the hardware and software need to improve before I could use it as my only phone.

I have not experienced that, but have you tried the Skip silence in audio feature? It does a good job removing pauses in audio which would hopefully solve the problem you are experiencing.

Firefox is part of the for-profit Mozilla Corporation. Donations go to the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation. Even though Mozilla Corporation is owned by Mozilla Foundation, donations cannot be transferred to it since it is still legally a for-profit business. The funds donated to Mozilla Foundation are used for advocacy work.

Those donations cannot be used for Firefox development due to the structure of Mozilla.

The apps on IzzyOnDroid are built by the original developers and likely signed with the same key as the version on Google Play. As a result, Google is able to update them. Apps in the official F-Droid repository are signed by F-Droid. As a result, the keys are different and won’t be updated by the version from Google.

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.
