The woman at Verizon was absolutely amazing. She spent almost 45 minutes trying to get this old Pixel 6 to recognize the eSIM of this phone I flashed with @GrapheneOS Not once did they care what OS was on it. Now it all works and my son can have a basic phone with his privacy intact.

The past two weeks with Debian Sid and my new work setup—featuring two NAS devices and a new internal network—have been a success!

One NAS serves as internal storage for all my documents, photos, videos, etc., while the second NAS acts as a personal cloud connected to my smartphones, backing up photos and videos I take, which I then copy to my internal NAS at home—if relevant.

Conversely, when needed, I move necessary documents, photos, etc., from the internal NAS to the personal cloud so that I have the required materials on hand at short notice for appointments and the like.

That may sound cumbersome, but I consider it more practical not to have everything stored on a single device that can also be accessed remotely.
