I had a very similar issue, the touchpad in my Dell laptop would randomly stop working but I could still click. I couldn’t work out why until one of my keys stopped working. I replaced the keyboard and the touchpad issues disappeared. I suspect the cause was the faulty keyboard not sending the key up event as I had noticed pressing keys sometimes unfroze it. It could also have been a loose connection though.
If you’re using GNOME, you could try disabling the “disable touchpad on while typing” setting: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad disable-while-typing false
Verify the keyboard is not disabled when pressing keys and see if the issue still happens. If that fixes it then it might be keyboard that’s the problem.
To enable “disable touchpad while typing”: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad disable-while-typing true
That’s sucks, hopefully squarespace will be alright. I had considered moving to Google too but was wary of Google support, glad I didn’t now.
If you need an alternative, Cloudflare has a decent DNS editor and offers free email forwarding. Plus you don’t have to move your domains to them so easy to try out. I’m not a fan of how much of the internet depends on them but they are decent.
I remember a similar issue with some newsletter software I worked on. The free version added a powered by line to newsletters among other limitations.
Unfortunately, spammers started using it which inevitably led to people thinking we were spamming them and a lot of angry emails.
The software enforced unsubscribe links but the spammers modified it to remove that. Weirdly, they left the powered by link… maybe it helped pass spam filters? Or they just didn’t care.
There wasn’t much we could do to stop them so in the end the free version had to be discontinued.
Firefox Profiles work like Chrome profiles, although the UX is a little cliunky without an addon like Profile Switcher.

Looks really good! I love your workshop, looks like a nice space to be in. The pillar drill in the background looks huge, do you metal work too?
Just updated mine. It's great how painless Debian make upgrades.
