Your own email domain + an account at a privacy respecting email service is more than worth it. Avoids the privacy nightmare that is using Google/Microsoft for your email, and gives you the flexibility to change email providers on a whim if your current one starts doing anything you don’t like.

DNS based ad blocking does not block YouTube advertisements.

Sort your data into stuff you absolutely need to keep (personal files and such) and stuff you’d be okay with losing (less important files, device backups, downloads you can redownload, etc).

I can’t see this being useful; the amount of energy generated is just so far below what’s practical to use. An equivalent size of solar panels would be cheaper and provide orders of magnitude more energy even when it’s cloudy.

It’s an interesting idea though, and cool that they were able to harvest any power at all.
