I was using Restic + B2 for a while, but recently switched to Restic + Hetzner Storage Box.

Storage Box is a little more effort to setup since it doesn't provide an S3 interface and I instead had to use WebDAV, but it's more affordable and has automated snapshots that adds a layer of easy immutability.

That would make sense for online-only files, but I have my Dropbox folder set to synchronize everything to my PC, and Backblaze still started skipping over it a few months ago. I reached out to support and they confirmed that they are just entirely skipping Dropbox/OneDrive/etc folders entirely, regardless of if the files are stored locally or not.

I self-host a few apps and use Tailscale to access them remotely. It's worked well, so I recommended it as a possible solution to allow employees at my company to remotely access some on-prem resources while remote, and that's being considered. If we go with that, then that'd be Tailscale making money from me using the free plan.

Did you know that on most models of iPhone, saying "Hey Siri, who's iPhone is this?" will disable biometric authentication until the passcode is entered?

There's only ten possible guesses, and most people use their thumb and/or index finger, leaving four much likelier guesses.

Also, IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that if law enforcement has a warrant to seize property from you, they're not obligated to do so immediately the instant they see you - they could have someone follow you and watch to see how you unlock your phone before seizing it.
