I would think it moral to download the discs you own as rips. Get a vpn for a month and download away. This would be a lot less time and electrical energy consuming compared to ripping them yourself. Also somebody else has already dealt with drm bullshit.
There is private lock on fdroid, of you shake your phone biometrics get disabled and three phone locks. It's meant as protection from someone grabbing your phone and running away with it but works fine for other emergencies as well.
If you are looking for a future proof, snooping free and secure solution for home routers, there is most likely no way around installing open source firmware like openwrt. I would just pick a device with good openwrt support, some ubiquity models have that, if I remember correctly. But there are many alternatives by different manufacturers. I would just chose one with good hardware specs in your price range, install openwrt and call it a day.
Exacly, these popups are completely unnecessary and just a form of malicious compliance by the website creators.
How about we set a no tracking flag in our browsers for example and companies actually respect the choice? One can only dream...
Hitting a round birthday gets harder every time it happens in my opinion. On the other hand I didn't mind hitting 42 too much. After all, it's the answer to life, the universe and everything. That should be something to look forward to at 40!
Read up on Xmpp or matrix as good alternatives.
Audiobookbay is a great place to find audiobooks. Sharing is caring.
I would recommend to get a Fujitsu esprimo small form factor pc or a lenovo sff with an i5 6500 cpu. They sell used for less that 100 euros. Get a half size gpu (gtx 1650 or 1050 ti or amd rx 6400). And you will have a perfect pc for gaining in 1080p in your living room on the cheap. Those pcs are a good compromise for speed and size, any smaller and they will get way too hot. Also these are well build office PCs, that will run very quiet.
I would recommend pop_os as a distro. Its made for gaining and I use it as my daily driver.
You could use that machine as your home server. It would open up a lot of possibilities. Sync your phone contacts and calendars, backup all your systems, store/stream media, host your own clousldserver, your own Internet messenger server for family and friends (snikket for example). Host a Minecraft server for the little ones or whatever comes to mind.

I've used jitsi meet (own instance) for this before. OBS might work as well.
