I have been using this time of year over the last 5-6 years to take stock of a number of things - disabling/deleting unneeded accounts, improving password strength, removing smart home features/automations, and in general, ruthlessly simplifing, keeping things as efficient as possible, and trying to always be improving security - remember the last is always a moving target.

One last exciting update for the year is that the arrival of my Checkmate Retro Display is imminent! I backed it on Kickstarter way back in December 2022, so it has been a bit of a wait… Looks to be worth that wait though, the success of it has meant a bunch of extra development and improvements compared to what was originally proposed.
