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 like my Sofirn HS40. It only has a few modes but it has USB-C charging, a fixed right angle, and water resistant to 2 meters submersion. Throw the magnetic tailcap on there and you can stick it where you need to.

Stacher is a great GUI for yt-dlp on Windows and MacOS.
