I have been using porkbun.com as a domain registrar.
For email hosting, self-hosting is a lot of effort. If you just want the damned thing to work. I've heard good things about Fastmail, and personally I'm using migadu.com. it's $19/year for micro.
Use any imap client, or if you want to keep using what you're using Gmail and Outlook and Apple mail apps w all support your new personal account over imap as well
Fortnightly FTW. We can always (try to) re-educate the masses!

The same author talks about load balancing in one article and retries in the other one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"underpowered" routers are usually underpowered for multiple high bandwidth wireless connections. if you disable the wireless, shoving bits over copper would -usually- be efficient enough to not be the bottleneck.
Did you consider keeping the services closed to the outside world and using tailscale to access them? Doesn't work well if you want to give access to a bunch of people, though.
Random idea, continuously ping the router from the laptop so it doesn't "forget" that the laptop exists on the WLAN?
(I know you mention the laptop can still reach out when you try, but maybe the trick is to keep having traffic to-from the laptop continuously)
keepass2android is worth a try as well.
Nope, not realistic for "mirroring". Federated could be possible, but I wouldn't have high hopes about (good) latency and coverage.
Otoh, Spotify (and probably apple and other big corps) don't even allow you to add RSS URLs, so I wanted to point out they Google was one of the big players which was more open.
Their own doc, sure why not.
Any other context where there's a giant with the same name. No, please at least write it out expanded once.
