General notes

SMS

Gammu/Wammu may not be able to retrieve dates for sent messages, only received messages.

MMS

MMS messages may not be able to be exported using Gammu/Wammu with some phones. If you don't see MMS in the exported messages, you may be able to save the message attachments to the phone's storage and copy them to a PC via a USB cable.

Summary

Older laptops support hardware (S3) sleep, which uses little to no battery power.
Newer laptops only support software (S0ix) sleep, which will gradually drain the battery over a period of a few days (although it can be less than a day in extreme cases).
If you have an older laptop (made before ~2020), your laptop may still support S3 sleep. See below for more information.
If your laptop doesn't support S3 sleep:
- Limit usage of sleep to short periods of time; otherwise, power off instead.
- Using the latest Linux kernel possible will provide benefits to sleep functionality as operating system support for S0ix sleep improves.
- Power off your laptop before putting it in a bag; laptops in S0ix sleep can get hot and the fan can even turn on.

Recommendations

1. Full-stack vs. frontend

First, you need to decide if you need full-stack or just a frontend framework.

Most people should use a full-stack framework and not a frontend framework by itself. This allows anything sensitive such as API secrets to be handled on the server.

There are some situations in which a web application could securely use a frontend framework alone, although these are less common. This would require that the app delegate authentication to a third party and that auth be used to access APIs so that no sensitive information would ever need to be stored in the frontend.

Enable user namespaces
