I recently moved Gmail, Google Docs and Sheets, Google Keep (tasks) and Drive to Mailbox.org. It's super affordable and works really well. You can edit docs/sheets online or offline. No self-hosting required. I recommend it. It's located in Germany.

My problem with Jellyfin is that I'd need something like Google Chromecast for it. AFAIK all those dongles are American. Raspberry pi doesn't cut it unfortunately.
That's one problem I have come across. Roku, Apple, Google, Amazon. They make great streaming devices but they'll all track you. The best answer I have is a PC attached to your TV.
instead of matrix id say SimpleX-chat it uses tor a lot more
Element is owned by a company and likes to collect a shit load of data... i'll never understand people that vouch for matrix
I recently found edupad.ch for collaborative writing.
It's very simple, and - most important of all - doesn't require an account.
I'm using it for the first time, so I don't have much of a review, but the first impression is very good for my use case.
I use Nextcloud as a similar way as Google Drive or Google Photos. But it's self-hosted and not for the mass.
I would recommend a mail service for drive. Most are quite stingy with storage. Mailbox.org or Infomaniak.
It's very affordable to rent a hosted nextcloud instance on a European server. I love nextcloud. It's my data storage, webmailer, calendar and contacts sync, collaborative office, shared finance manager and so much more!
I want to see Koofr up there among the clouds.
So that includes Firefox- their privacy rules have recently changed. We need a Europe based Europe made ideally non profit so canโt be sold to US browser and search engine. Chromium based or Firefox forks donโt count because they can claim some ownership or take data. We want full quarantine separation, itโs like a disease
Why is no one mentioning Delta as alternative chat app? it is neat, has bots and mini apps, multi device too.
