  • Noise canceling headphones plus Brownian noise.

    In my case Sennheiser hd450bt.

    Turn off phone data, so only regular texts from VIP can break through DND.

    Solitaire, crosswords or codewords app to sleep. Voyager with pagination on if you really want to read but have an end page.

  • ddrescue (or gddrescue) is a great version if you have a sick drive. It'll try to copy the good areas first then go back to hammer on the sick areas.

    Not perfect as it doesn't know about the file system so it tries to copy the entire surface, but generally a good tool.

  • Righto :)

    I was thinking of usb3 hard drives. No need for internal storage if using spinning rust.

    On older laptops with optical drives you can sometimes replace the drive with a sata tray and add a second drive that way.

    But yes, a server that looks like a server and can recover after power loss is useful.

  • A cheap laptop might also be worth considering? Built in UPS that way, and sometimes UPSes have a large standby power usage. Would support a couple of bus powered drives as well.

    Main drawback is no recovery if the battery drains fully.

  • Rustdesk, so I can remote into my main computer and the others I manage.

    PWAs For Firefox.

    And that's about it.

    I use Debian BTW. (Was on Fedora but killed it when there were sound issues, turned out to Rustdesk at fault. Can't do Mint as it boots to black screen.)
