This is what I think: You cannot be 100% private, but you can be 95% private. Most of the tracking I want to avoid is from websites, mail and my devices OS.

With ublock origin in advanced mode, thunderbird + Protonmail, Linux (I'm dual booting and also have a windows VM for the things not working on Linux) and a VPN I can reach a satisfying amount of privacy without wasting too much time and effort. I'm also hosting an unfederated matrix server for private communications but I rarely use it.

To have better privacy than this I'd need a lot more effort, but the return wouldn't be big enough, so I'm good. The only other thing I'd like to do is switching to a phone with grapheneOS or something like that.

You can use the advanced mode of ublock to replace noscript too

Yes! I like to play on the bed so there's nothing better. I'm playing forever skies on pc because it freezed the steam deck when I tried to start it but any other game it's on the deck

I had the Soldier of Fortune original game disk, but lost the box with the CD key. Mailed the devs/publishers asking for help, sending a picture of the disks, and they basically told me that I should have been more careful. Googled "soldier of fortune CD key" and ended up on one of those now-defunct websites which collected cracks and CD keys, discovering that not only you didn't need the key, but you could also just download free stuff.

Now I pay for Prime Video, Netflix and Spotify and buy lots of games on steam/gog, but I also created an app used by thousands of people every month to help them sail the four seas

Bitwarden apps have been open source since the beginning, mobile + backend + web

Yes it's awesome, I use it with Microsoft terminal for tabs + themes, thanks to that I still have to learn how to use powershell

Definitely a good suggestion, next time I'll remember that 20/30 extra $$ is less than 200

This was for a music festival too, at least I immediately bought the ticket for that and for flying there, so that was quite cheaper

I rooted my fire stick with a piece of aluminum, you had to open it and bridge two points on its board to make a reserved memory area writable, and then run a script to root it. Have no idea about new models/firmware but XDA developers is a click away. It was the 4k model at the end of 2019, I think it's just one or two generation behind the current 4k stick

As the others have said, a Google (search engine) replacement will have the most "privacy returns". Take a look at whoogle and searx, or if you can mak them switch to another search engine like duckduckgo

Damn I really needed systemd analyzer to debug stuff! Thanks!

Inkplate offers some esp32 powered eink solutions, and someone built an eReader software for it, should be this one

https://github.com/turgu1/EPub-InkPlate

But I have no idea how good it is. If you want to use it offline I suppose you could get any eReader that supports loading stuff via USB, You can manage a kindle library with calibre and turn off wifi after the first setup, for example.
