Flashing the stock Pixel ROM back is just as simple as flashing GrapheneOS, the instructions in GOS website are very good for both.

The only two things I can think of that might be issues are banking apps and Google Pay, if you use that. I use Play services in the main profile and honestly there's not much difference to the stock ROM in terms of user experience. Even Android Auto works nowadays.

For the banking apps, you can have a look at https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/. Just note that if your bank is not on the list, it doesn't necessarily mean it wont work.

Most likely, a Hetzner storage box is going to be so slow you will regret it. I would just bite the bullet and upgrade the storage on Contabo.

Storage in the cloud is expensive, there's just no way around it.

Imagine if all the people who prefer systemd would write posts like this as often as the opposition. Just use what you like, there are plenty of distros to choose from.

Protonmail, but not really because of encryption. I just liked their Android client and webmail the most. I've had sensitive backups on Proton Drive for a long time, so that also played a role in the choice.

I hosted my own server for quite a few years, but the SMTP clients (Thunderbird, Evolution, K9 mail) all doing things slightly differently made me give up. Biggest push was that K9 mail didn't really move deleted mail to trash. These were probably dovecot configuration issues, but I got tired of searching for solutions. Never had any deliverability issues.

In my limited experience, when Podman seems more complicated than Docker, it's because the Docker daemon runs as root and can by default do stuff Podman can't without explicitly giving it permission to do so.

99% of the stuff self-hosters run on regular rootful Docker can run with no issues using rootless Podman.

Rootless Docker is an option, but my understanding is most people don't bother with it. Whereas with Podman it's the default.

Docker is good, Podman is good. It's like comparing distros, different tools for roughly the same job.

Pods are a really powerful feature though.

This is true, with a couple gigs of RAM and SATA storage Nextcloud is not at all bad. Assuming an instance with not that much simultaneous users.

It feels like slow sometimes, then after an hour with M365 at work it doesn't feel slow at all.

I recently put the nvidia variant of ublue-os on my work laptop, which has Optimus graphics. Couldn't be happier.

It's great to see these variants popping up! I really think ostree may be the future for desktop Linux, and not even very far away.

I started using gestures, and haven't been able to transition away since.

Both have their pros and cons.

For a bit enhanced log file viewing, you could use something like lnav, I think it's packaged for most distributions.

Cockpit can be useful for journald, but personally I think GUI stuff is a bit clunky for logs.

Grep, awk and sed are powerful tools, even with only basic knowledge of them. Vim in readonly mode is actually quite effective for single files too.

For aggregating multiple servers' logs good ol' rsyslog is good, but not simple to set up. There are tutorials online.

Remember to check the polarity of the plug too. Some have + in the center pin, others have -

This must be related to people in their 20's not knowing how to read a traditional clock anymore.
