Strava provides a way of mass editing some of your previous activities settings (e.g. privacy) but doesn’t provide a way of filtering which ones you want to edit. In my case I wanted to make a privacy change to every walk I’ve ever done, but leave bike rides and runs as they were. I stumbled across this which has done the job perfectly.

Initial stability and battery life seem good, but there are definitely some “beta bugs” as there normally always is, which this year includes my phone getting abnormally warm whilst in use which is something I’ve also seen reported by others.

This post is mostly for my own future reference but I thought I’d put it here in case it helps anyone else.
When deploying Pi-hole in docker (in my case through Portainer), if you get an error along the lines of “pihole 53 portainer bind: address already in use” then this may help.
