@charliebrownau @thanius I would also recommend getting into the old stuff. rsync, git and ftp in particular rather than owncloud/nextcloud. Simple is best.
Also xmpp for chat (replace, idk, sms because some people seem to still think that's a good idea).
Openstreetmap in particular I recommend organic maps for android because the downloading for offline use just werks. Also streetcomplete for a simple gaming layer on top of contributing back to it. It's actually really good, despite some quirks. Can at least take care of the bulk of it to help the eyes in the sky focus on the harder tasks. (And can basically create notes wherever/whenever to direct their attention in particular.)
Strongly recommend looking at running your own email. https://digdeeper.club/articles/email.xhtml has a lot to say about existing providers, but little to say about what to do once you do decide to run your own. I've put up a https://mailinabox.email/ and it's good enough, but not my style, so I've also put up an opensmtpd + dovecot server myself which was a lot more effort (and I still have more to do on it, like registration scripts). Since then I have also encountered https://mailu.io/ and https://maddy.email which I have no opinion of yet.
Searx is not really a solution, it just defers the problem. yacy is a true solution. yacy needs a lot more work put into it to be good.
Password managers are a strictly inferior clone of public keys. Recommend looking into webauthn.
