Self-hosting is really fun, but you could become obsessed and spend all your time on it!
Seriously though, check out these resources:
I personally self-host Plex, Navidrome, Audiobookshelf, Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr, qBittorrent and more.
That is a lie! My Brahmin friends have told me that only racists would claim otherwise.

What?! But according to my extended family (Brahmins), Modi is great! /s
I use many, but DAVx⁵ is essential to keep my contacts and calendar in sync.
A few other favourites:
Yes it is! It's really an amazing app.
Have you tried the fork? It lists one of its enhancements as ‘"Battery eater" problem is fixed.’
There's also Forge for GNOME.
Awesome! Just updated without issues, I only had to make one tiny change to my config.
Just follow these 2 accounts, they both boost/retweet tons of interesting posts, and then you can follow the original posters:
Bromite hasn't been updated in a while, so you should at least switch to Cromite if you're not switching to Mull. It's a fork by a previous Bromite contributor and includes some improvements, like a bottom toolbar and adblock plus (so normal block lists, not Bromite's less customizable ad blocker.
I tried others, stayed with Tidal for a while, but unfortunately had to come back to Spotify. The playlists are just much better and you have access to tons of good user-created playlists.
I use Fastmail for my email and calendar. Their server also supports CalDAV task lists, but unfortunately they don't have any web UI for tasks. In the past, I have self-hosted Nextcloud for tasks, but ultimately dropped it as I had some issues with my server at the time, so it wasn't reliable, and I found Nextcloud to be too heavy and slow for my needs. I'm now considering self-hosting Vikunja.
Do you use DAVx⁵?
geddit.social is a another good server, I have alt there. It's run by @stux@geddit.social who has his own hosting company and also hosts mstdn.social.
For WebDAV, you can use DAVx⁵ or Round Sync
I use Authenticator Pro like you. We are the same.
I prefer starship
On my Chromecast, I use this wonderful app: SmartTube
Do you mean that they'll add chat to the camera app?
Posted this above, but it might interest you as an alternative to Vanadium:
Bromite hasn't been updated in a while, so you should at least switch to Cromite if you're not switching to Mull. It's a fork by a previous Bromite contributor and includes some improvements, like a bottom toolbar and adblock plus (so normal block lists, not Bromite's less customizable ad blocker.
They're different, but according to its readme, Cromite includes "security enhancement patches from GrapheneOS project", so I assume it contains Vanadium's changes as well as other improvements.
DAVx⁵ is fire-and-forget (if you have a reliable server). Nextcloud usually requires work to set up and maintain, but there are lots of resources out there to help. Tons of people use and love it.

I've been using ZFS for the past 3 years without any major issues. For my server, all my media is stored on a group of HDDs in an external HDD enclosure using RAIDz2. I currently use Proxmox, since I wanted a stable OS and it has support for ZFS baked-in.
My personal laptop has root on ZFS, running Arch. ZFS is a kernel module installed separately in this case. Since Arch is a rolling distro and I like messing around with it, I appreciate running a FS with snapshots where I can easily rollback when something breaks. Plus, ZFS supports native encryption!
Those caveats/issues are definitely worrying. I don't think I have enough expertise to comment on them, unfortunately.
The wiki also says that native encryption is "unofficially discouraged by the community" and I'd be interested in learning more about that, but there's no source for that statement.
If you're interested in ZFS, I think it's definitely worth trying out on a secondary machine. There's a lot to learn, but I've found it worthwhile.
I found a GitHub issue suggesting that they warn users about the risks associated with native encryption, it has helped me understand the situation better: https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs-docs/issues/494
Don't humanize them, they'll expect us to always treat them with respect! /s (obvs 🙄)
