Circular breathing is easiest to accomplish on the didgeridoo. This is because of several reasons: optimal back-pressure (hits the sweet spot between lack of resistance on a flute and too much of it on an oboe, for example), loose embouchure (relaxed lips make it easier to puff up the cheeks) and single drone focus (no distracting fingerings required).
I also suspect the intense vibrations have a similar effect (probably stronger) to humming, which is known to dramatically (15-20x) increase the release of beneficial nitrous oxide in the nasal passages.

My gut says that there are some interesting discoveries waiting around the intersections of frequency of vibration, individual resonant frequency, and duration
Possibly yes when it comes to air pressure, but the learning curve will be steeper. But not when it comes to the generated vibrations, and my bet is the latter are more important.
the study was conducted using a didgeridoo but the circular breathing seems to be the important mechanism. No studies have been conducted on other instruments that require or benefit from it.
I doubt many of them actually figured out how to circular breathe after one lesson. Source: have been playing sax for 20 years, tried learning it many times, still no good.
You can substitute Pulumi for Terraform, PyInfra for Ansible and google for sample projects that use Terraform and Ansible to get a good idea of their strengths and how they come together.
Then, you take that understanding and you realize using PyInfra and Pulumi, you can do all of that in just Python, using all of Python's rich ecosystem.
Thanks to Dan Catt [1] for sharing a link to this in his latest newsletter [2], which includes a flip-book style animation of the result of him pen-plotting a number of frames and stitching them together into a video.
I'll speak to Australia... here we have the legislated Consumer Data Right [1]. This currently puts obligations on banks and energy retailers to make consumer data accessible via an API, via Authorised Data Holders (ADH - the banks and retailers) and Authorised Data Recipients (ADR). However! The major criticism I have of this scheme is that as an individual power user I do not have direct access to these APIs myself. I believe there was originally an intent to support this under the scheme, however due to somewhat legitimate security and access concerns, but also I expect pushback from anyone falling into the ADH category, this is not possible. Setting up an ADR has a not insignificant compliance burden.
However I have recently come across Redbark [2] which is a simple service that has taken on the mantle, and provides a simple sync mechanism for any Consumers that believe they have a Right to their Data. Not affiliated, just a happy customer and I hope that they can make the economics work over the long term.
And I was going to say Mac native as well, but uses Tauri. I’d love some app with the polish of Bear Notes but that just edited raw Markdown files. Ideally Obsidian with the Notebook Navigator plugin (strongly inspired by Bear Notes perhaps?) and (checks list) this very specific list of plugins that I need and should be good for everyone else thanks.
THIS. Incredibly frustrating that iOS (I’m not sure about Android) doesn’t provide a way to disable mobile data or Personal Hotspot as part of Screen Time settings.
I’m keen to see if Nabu Casa release an update to the Voice Assist hardware sometime soon. Something with the same fidelity and finish of the Amazon and Google options but open would be fantastic.
