Pretty much what OP wrote but recently moved to grapheneos, and a pi-hole to block tracking/ads.
Also personal (self hosted) instances of searxng, piped, libreddit, which connect via the vpn tunnel.
Vpn is paid in cash. Matrix and email are self hosted (but not on my lan).
Selfhosted tailscale/headscale.
Different browsers and profiles (primary Firefox but also vivaldi). Self hosted nextcloud.
Thanks for the insights, I'm also in the process of moving to more self-hosted services. Just finished transferring my media library to a Jellyfin instance for local movie/series watching. I also plan on self-hosting Matrix and Seraxng, will be my next project for the holidays.
I'm long thinking about installing the PI-Hole, I should just do it, not much work to do for a great addition to the network.
smartphone → deGoogled Android (because I won’t feed the popular hardware vendors like Samsung which alternative OSs support), no GSM chip, in airplane mode; occasionally wifi
phone (for talking) → 20-year old candybar phone
VOIP → disaster because the cheap providers do not support basic crypto
payment → cash, even when not possible. That is, if a creditor demands electronic payment, I still offer only cash. When they take me to court, I explain cash acceptance is an obligation. And I win. They can fuck right off with their Bill Gates-ian forced-banking agenda. I also keep my eye out for cashless restaurants that collect after dining -- they’re accepting my cash or I’m eating for free.
email → no, snail mail. Google and MS broke email.
