Yeah, in my case it’s really easy, just like the other commenter said. Some time ago I’ve been configuring new laptop for my mom. I just installed Firefox with uBlock Origin with default settings and I don’t think she has ever seen YouTube ads.

Well, I’d say to support content creators directly if they provide such option rather than through YouTube ads or YouTube Premium. I think that even donating 1$ one time is more that channel would have earned from like thousand of your views.

Yeah, not sure if it’s my ROM (DivestOS) or just Android 13, but in Settings > Screen lock I have Enhanced PIN privacy toggle that does just what you’ve described.

Kinda. PeerTube is a self-hostable application that creators can use to host their content, so it doesn’t have ads per se. Invidious, just like youtube-dl, fetches video files from YouTube servers, so it also doesn’t play any ads that would normally be played before and during video.

At least CalyxOS, DivestOS offer Android 13 builds for FP4 (and obviously LineageOS, but it doesn’t have OTA updates, afaik)

Well, IPx5 is technically water resistant for water jets and up to 12.5 liters per minute. I think that sounds enough to be used it rain. I also saw some reviews of other devices that even IPx4 is fine in rain.

Google is intrusive. The story where Google literally send police on a dad that had stored photos of his son on Google Drive that he meant to show to a doctor or countless stories with scanning emails. For the first one a mitigation could be to encrypt files before hand, but it’s not at all convenient for regular people that want to have their photos automatically synced and backed up. For the second one, you could also encrypt emails beforehand using PGP, but yeah, pretty much no one does that. And none of this potential mitigations make Google any less intrusive. And I think I could even argue they allow themselves to be like that because they are this big.

That being said, I’m not arguing that Google Workspace, that integrate tools, storage and emails for way cheaper that other alternatives, is not great value for companies. But it’s still Google, so no matter how you look at it, it’s still bad choice for privacy. But the other choice being Microsoft, there’s hardly a better way.

Also keep it mind that, while Grist looks like a spreadsheet, there are some key differences between it and a typical spreadsheet (see here). You may need to spend some time with the documentation (which is really good btw, and they have video tutorials as well), but in my opinion it’s really worth it.

I use Grist for this purpose. Check out this template, this may be just what you want and using widgets it is quite easy to create a form to append to the expenses database (just like here). Grist works really nice on mobile too and is also pretty easy to self-host if you need an extra degree of privacy, but you can use the official instance as well.

If you want I can send you my Grist template that does pretty much all things you want.

In my setup I still use reverse proxy even though all of my services are inside a VPN. IMO it is just more convenient to have services accesible as subdomains or subdirectory than as different ports.
