KeePass
Gives you control and possession of your passwords and allows you to customize the ways it is protected, stored, and used.
Buying your own domain so that whoever hosts your emails can be changed without you losing your email addresses. This doesn’t need to be selfhosted, as an example, you could still choose between Microsoft, Google, Proton and a myriad of others.
How does one do that?
Calibre is basically required software if you have a Kindle, and I’ve read it’s great for other e-readers too.
It facilitates easy file conversion and transfer.
NextCloud - Stop storing your data on someone else’s computer. Works well to allow syncing KeePass databases between devices.
a bit heavy but cool to have. and it seems to be better than radicale, but I couldn’t explain why.
but it would be even cooler if we could do contact and calendar sync across personal devices without a server, because common people not just won’t be able to set up a server, but they won’t have a dedicated machine either that is online 24/7. and you shouldn’t run a service like this on your android phone that you carry around with you because it’ll not let the system save power by throttling the CPUs and switching off cores
