      Would recommend self hosting the drive aspect, cheaper and you retain your own information all the while.

      Pixel phones are fine with a custom OS. Linux phones are horrible both with user interface and battery life.

      Instead of black hole (which has horrible catalog of music) or Musify, just selfhost Deemix+Navidrome.

      Instead of startpage use something more reputable like qwant or duckduckgo.

      Proton can be debatable because of it’s past, though they have since fixed it. Alternatives include : tutanota, mailbox.org, etc. Alot of good email alternatives exist.

        Dont know how to host. If someone can make a guide, I would love to host all my stuff. I am not sure about using Duckduckgo as anything US based is a big red flag. As a EU citizen, I would prefer search engine hosted in EU.
