After many years of Org-mode, I've settled on Emacs Denote with a git repo of markdown files, paired with a paper bullet journal.

I use GnuCash for two companies and personal accounting. Love it.
I use fish shell only now. Used to only write bash, but I've started writing some fish scripts. I wouldn't try to plan too much WRT shell scripting up front. Just fix your pain points as you go.
I use Calibre and its web server locally. Works great.

Happens with Firefox on Linux too. Very annoying.
Wow, 6 years. What was your injury?
I do the same. Using VPN, proxy, Firefox container, tracker blocking, the whole 9 yards. I haven't seen price change based on location/purchase history. I've been looking for signs of this for a while. Prices do fluctuate quite a bit though. The site might have auto-selected a different "ships from" option for you, depending on how you're logged in.
I followed up with customer support. They said go ahead with the order and they will refund me the amount after. They gave me a $5 credit for my trouble. They said they would escalate this issue to the development team.
But one is ambiguous.
I stopped using the task management features of Org mode and I wanted to use Apache mod_markdown to view my notes when on a mobile device. I like how simple markdown is. It's all I need for notes. Denote is great for keeping organized.
