To understand the importance of SWIFT with regards to the Ukrainian-Russian war, I’m reading up on the system. In course of that I learned that Russia built SPFS [1], an alternative and compatible system, in 2014.

Could anyone comment on why cutting Russia(n banks) from SWIFT would matter, given they have SPFS anyway?

It is clear SPFS is far from being a completely compatible SWIFT alternative. But it still seems like Russia laid a reasonable groundwork for a “post-SWIFT era” and would not really care about what the media seems to consider the strongest possible sanction against it.

I'm curious to learn how people set up daily things such as shared calendar, to-do's, knowledge base, etc. with their partner. Especially when one part of the couple is less technical. I have the feeling a lot of thought process and software products go into team management in a work context. Not sure this assumption is true but only few couples seem to have designed an explicit system to manage their personal life. I'd like to learn from the ones who think they implemented such a system successfully - what worked, etc. (under the caveat that every couple is different of course!)
