Nice list. btw. After scrolling through noticed that QTodoTxt url gives an error. Perhaps there were some v1 -> v2 changes ? https://github.com/QTodoTxt/QTodoTxt2 And the Postmill url asks for a Gitlab login. These do load fine : https://gitlab.com/postmill/Postmill https://postmill.xyz/
Thanks, I'll correct these.
Nice list!
Maybe add Audius to the media section? I understand torrenting since there is no service that provides popular music without selling our privacy. But supporting decentralized platforms like Audius and maybe checking out some of the small artists there is a good way to support a solution. Since torrenting all music is not really sustainable for the industry...

wont recommend
I recommend Syncthing instead of cloud services. You never really notice how much stuff is "in the cloud" but storing it all and relying on it all there is taking a big leap in trust for the service you use.
Alternatively, self-hosted NextCloud/related service might also work but involves a bit more setup. Pros of that is that there isn't duplication of files stored on mutiple devices; ie. it works more like you would expect
IRC, xmpp, briar, QubesOS, TailsOS, CalyxOS, GrapheneOS, PureOS, librem5, pinephone, Umatrix/Ublock, pihole, dns-adblocking, encryption, pgp, gpg, socks5, TLS, https, FOSS, FOSH, self hosted: dns, proxy, VPN, VPS/cloud storage. You could also look at the free software foundation, teachlore, privacytools[.]io. Email providers such as protonmail, tutanota, riseup and a really in depth review of many email providers at https://digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/email.html
