My mom did this. When she told me about it I thought that it was a great idea. I'm planning on doing the same.
A practical jet pack.
Don't program (as much). Point yourself towards DevOps, SRE, and/or Platform Engineering. You'll be designing complex systems and will have your hands in dozens of different tech stacks.
Sometimes I think a straight dev job would be interesting but I legitimately love the SRE space.
FWIW, I've been traveling more or less full time doing the digital nomad thing since 2017.. You can keep working and live like a king factoring in cost of living and tax exemptions. I promise you'll still see plenty of the world.. You don't need to quit.
Why not just use a web based tool and enable browser notifications?
Obviously only talking about user space here.. Kube doesn't have any ambitions to manage kernel drivers or whatever (at least not until eBPF gets wider adoption).
Basically though, they have the same goals. To run programs and manage network communications. Kube does this in an extremely flexible way and it allows you to tolerate failures much more gracefully than the old ways. It's nowhere near appropriate as a replacement for a desktop distribution though.. I'm talking about the server world.
The way kube works is really just a beautiful thing to see and I never want to manage a server the old way again if I can avoid it. The wider infrastructure industry is all moving in this direction and the overwhelming bulk of open-source development effort is going into cloud native tooling.. The CNCF landscape map alone shows how huge of an explosion is occurring right now.. It's an exciting time to be involved.
I think you can search for discord servers in the web/desktop app, can't you? I'm on mobile at the moment and don't see it in the app. I feel like I've done it before though.
Ordinarily I look for something more specific about what I'm trying to do.. For self hosting stuff, the kubernetes@home thing is solid. The cncf server is great too. If that's not you jam though obviously it won't help.. For me personally, kubernetes is basically just a modern implementation of a Linux distro. Obv ymmv.

DevOps Paradox.
One could argue that decentralized, bottom up organization is essentially the structure of the modern evangelical movement.. It's also kinda the playbook for modern terrorism though.. ISIS, Timothy McVeigh, etc..
It would be nice to have moderate conservative voices in the mix but unfortunately that world just seems to be filled with mostly batshit crazy ideas that do more harm than good.
So they know when you logged in and what you did when you got there. So you can't escape it there.
So you can't escape this either.
They would get nothing except the time, location, amount, business, and how that relates to the other purchases you make and all the data those transactions generate as well. That data is shared with the bank, Visa or MasterCard, and all credit reporting agencies. This is unavoidable too.
You are not getting out of this unless you allow it to seriously affect your life.
