What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier? (lemm.ee)

For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they're much easier to grab.

I set up nextcloud with CalDAV synchronisation and gave access to my wife. Now we have a shared calendar on all devices to plan our week.

As much as I love my own Nextcloud instance, I'm not sure that's a "small thing" for most people. Also, now you have to secure it and keep it updated. I keep mine behind an Nginx reverse proxy and pass those logs to a small splunk instance with a dashboard to show me what's hitting my server. With basically zero footprint, botnets and attackers have still found my server and are attacking it regularly.

Login to my server is only possible with my SSH key and a 2FA code.
The firewall drops all incoming connection attempts except from my home network.

Is there anything else I should worry about?

Keeping it internal only keeps out a lot of the bad stuff. I actually have mine online, so tend to think in that mode.
The only recommendation I would make it, keep it updated. This goes for all software, you never know when a bug or vulnerability is going to turn into a bad day.
