I love SimpleLogin, have my own gmail forwarding to an alias until I eventually get rid of it and have aliases for every site I need an email address for.
Oh definitely, I go to a lot of effort to try and mitigate it (graphene OS, no Facebook, social media, pihole for network wide ad blocking, simplelogin for email aliasing, no smart devices) but there's always plenty of invasive apps/services even you're privacy conscious.
For me it's more the privacy aspect. IOT devices tend to be network weak points. Things like Alexa constantly listening. I could see myself self hosting home assistant maybe in the future but not of the things smart devices enable are really a value add for me personally.
I run everything in docker. I have an ansible playbook that backs up all the docker volumes to a minio server I'm running on a separate machine. I periodically upload backups to idrivee2 with the same playbook
Most apps I've found haven't had this issue but I did run into it for the first time not too long ago. I have a separate profile with sandboxed google play for when I absolutely need something that requireres play services
Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS. I was expecting to waste a weekend setting it up but I've been blown away with how good the user experience is. The only pain point I've had is not being able to run my banking app without Google services installed.
Right now I have a separate profile with sandboxes Google services installed which is unfortunate but gets the job done!

Damn I loved Castle of the Winds. Was actually just thinking about frying to see it I could play it again recently for a nice nostalgia kick.
Focalboard is nice https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard I used it a while back
I basically do the exact same thing. A few mins of down time at 5am isn't gonna bother me.
I've tested a few times nuking my containers and volumes and kicking off my ansible playbooks which redeploy and restore from s3 backups.
Haven't had to redeploy from scratch yet though

I love the piano arrangements of FF7. In particularl "descendants of Shinobi". https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=OZivx3zYScQ
I've been loving LibreTube recently. It doesn't seem go get nearly as much love as other YouTube clients
