It was 81 degrees (27 for the rest of the world) out this morning on my drive to work before 0700. I didn't have air conditioning growing up so maybe my memories are skewed but it seems way hotter now than it was in the 80s/90s (Captain Planet warned me about this).

You get heavier, totally anecdotal evidence on my part but I've stepped on the scale in the morning, let a glorious one rip, and the number went up by 0.1.
I am not saying that I gained 0.1 lbs, just that afterward the scale rounded it up instead of down.
Been on it for about 19 months now, it's what Android should be.
Even the play store is sandboxed. Those stupid games covered in ads, no where near as bad when the app never has a network connection or access to any files outside its directory.
I'd definitely agree, solid ground and a tent would make putting them in the sleeping bag a bit less important (plus then you can use them as a pillow). Having them in our bag was just something I was taught in basic training and it worked well the few times I have woken up with frost or ice on my outer shell (all Army related "camping").
In the decades since I've slowly shifted from big tents to a small travel trailer, it's so much better on my joints lol.
Overall I liked a couple things I hadn't thought of (NGOs), but the end of the article... that just sounded like any other consultancy service to me. Perhaps that's too harsh but it doesn't feel like a new career field (just my opinion).
Just to toss this out there, don't put your clothes actually under the sleeping bag unless the goal is wet clothes. Definitely strip down in your sleeping bag though, this way you don't sweat all night and have warm/dry clothes to put on before climbing out in the morning. There have been mornings I've had to crack the ice off my outer shell and been fine climbing out. Seems like a lifetime ago but that was what we were taught in the Army... now I have a small camper because... well because I don't want to have an extra soreness when I wake up lol.

Yep, I have a box with all my cell phones (as well as my wife's phones) going back to 2005 when I was able to get my first one. Man I miss my Razor v3 and the OG Motorola Droid, at least I can still look at them.
Still rocking a Pebble Steel from a decade ago, I tried a fitbit and Galaxy one but this Pebble has outlived them all. Thankfully I managed to find a silicon band for it when the leather one finally gave up on me.
Years ago my neighborhood was wired for fiber, well all except for 24 of our houses because it wasn't profitable, copper still came on our side though... Now that's been turned off so the 24 of us have the option of cable or wireless.
Having to stare at a coil of fiber across the street on the end of the pole (not even buried fiber, its on the damn poles) while I enjoy overpaying for 48Mbps... so fast it must be high speed (seriously debated a wireless link to the house across the street but I'm a stickler for the rules).
I know you mentioned Nextcloud and if you happen to already be running it you can use the add-on/module/whatever called Secrets, its exactly what you describe. You make note, send link (can password protect if you want) and once its been viewed its gone.
If you don't already have Nextcloud, check out vaultwarden's (bitwarden) send feature.
The only air conditioned room at my first duty station was a closet they called a server room... No one wanted to do the computer stuff when the cool toys were on the airstrip.
As for advice... Don't be scared, every adult you meet is faking it to some extent and it took me a long time to realize it. Also, be wary of random advice on the internet lol.
