This is really fascinating. I'm on this journey, too, and do a lot that's similar, but I've not heard of some of what you do/use and some of it sounds beyond my capabilities.

I'm trying to deGoogle/deFAANG/deBigData so I try to host FOSS alternatives to every service I use on the internet, though some services won't be possible or practical (e.g., email).
I host:
- audiobookshelf (to stream and sync podcasts between my devices)
- baikal (to host contacts and calendars)
- cryptpad (for collaborative spreadsheets and kanban, though it does more than this)
- drawio (flowchart-like diagrams
- forgejo (my git repos and oauth2)
- homepage (personal dashboard of services and links)
- invidious (youtube frontend)
- lemmy (duh :) )
- minio (S3 object storage)
- mosquitto (mqtt server)
- nextcloud (can do a lot, but I'm only using it to look at Memories for photo storage and management - I currently selfhost Photostructure, but it's not FOSS)
- peertube (youtube alternative)
- prometheus (metrics monitoring)
- qbittorrent (torrents)
- syncthing (currently only used to sync photos from my pixel to my server, but might be replaced if I switch to a photo management app that has an android app that can sync images)
- tiddlywiki-nodejs (pretty powerful wiki, but I use it just to sync text-based info between devices)
- traefik (reverse proxy in front of everything I host)
- tt-rss (RSS feeds)
- vaultwarden (password management - this is a fork of bitwarden)
- wordpress (for my personal websites)
- xbrowsersync (bookmark syncing between browsers/devices)
I use the d.rymcg.tech framework. It's a little over my head, but the framework makes it pretty easy to use all the apps. It's a bit tricky to add new apps to the framework, but it's fun and all the source is there to learn from and the developer is really nice and really helpful.
Thirded. I self-host it (actually the Vaultwarden fork) and use it on desktop browsers, as a desktop app, and as and Android app (F-Droid). I also store secure notes in it (e.g. end of life instructions for my partner). Very powerful and versatile, and AFAICT, secure.
That sounds crazy, but easy to test. Thanks for the suggestion.
I use Solokeys. Didn't know they were defunct. I just bought another from then a month or so ago. I use it for MFA, ssh, and sudo, and I'm trying to config Kubuntu login screen to require solokey but no luck yet.
I like solokeys, but the one I recently bought has NFC and, technically, my pixel7 running GraphenreOS can detect the device, but it doesn't work. Many people reported this issue. In my experience, NFC is non-functional.
Matrix is good, secure, very versatile, Foss, and easy to use, but I think not easy to set up or manage.
