Look at the LiveSync plugin as another option. It's pretty robust but does require a CouchDB server accessible to whatever devices will be syncing information. The developer has several repos of slightly different server options, but if you use Tailscale there's one that runs CouchDB through Tailscale Funnel.

If you can get IKEA where you are the INSPELNING line has Zigbee smart plugs with energy monitoring for only like $12. I believe they have a UK variant as well.

I’ll second PurelyMail. Easy to set up and they have explainers for all the various settings. I pay $10 a year for “unlimited” domains and mailboxes (some caveats but for minimal mail we won’t hit any limits).

I believe these are “remux” when searching. I don’t think anyone posts an ISO but the remux contains the entire contents of the original disc but in a friendlier format for playback on more diverse hardware (mkv containers for instance instead of the bdmv container).

They aesthetic choices of the movies directly reflect the events of the story. Voldemort coming back into power literally drained all the joy out of the wizarding world for those who knew and understood what was happening. The story turned from one of discovery to one of self preservation.

Voldemort let dementors loose to feed on any joy they could find, no wonder the characters became jealous and petty. Then the sense of impending doom from the threat of Voldemort or his followers and their terrorist style attacks meant that any gathering that could have been joyous turned downtrodden and melancholy.

The tone of the films reflect these events. The films didn’t touch on the prevalence of the dementors except briefly, so instead they showed the constant cloudy grey skies. The sense of impending doom is seen in the darkness of the scenes. In settings where the characters can be more free or relaxed the scene is brighter and more colorful. In settings where that relative safety is more easily broken the scene is dark and foreboding.

I’m not trying to say the movies were all perfect gems that got everything right, but the stylistic choices for scene and lighting I think were used to emphasize the greater tone of the events as seen by the characters.

This is the way. Exactly what I’m doing for my old iPad mini that can’t get any of the new streaming apps. I download some videos and upload them to the iPad with VLC’s web interface. Super easy and then they’re always available, internet or no.
