The problem is youtube... LibreTube is great but it doesn't shows up to date subs videos, the official shows some videos and other instances shows others
Since them it was working really good, know since 2-3 weeks it's kind of a no-go

I am using grpahene on a refurbished pixel 6a for 250€
I was coming from lineage os, and while I loved lineage for not having ads, possibility for no google etc. I AM SO HAPPY WITH GRAPHENE
it is better optimized, has higher security and the multiple users, sandboxes Google and stuff are soooo nice and easy to use
Also the pixel is a very nice phone (crazy camera, perfect oled) but I don't like that it doesn't support wired headphone and SD cards. Still very much worth it IMHO
I'll check them but why keepass over bitwarden?
Is the battery good with GrapheneOS? I know is refurbished but how bad is it? I would love to try it but spending for a refurbished to use it as second phone?🤔
Comes down to preference in security vs. Convenience: Keepass is local, so more safe, but with the downside of no automatic sync. can be solved with KDE connect (completly local) or nextcloud (trusted server) though it is not as smooth of a user experience.
Battery is good in my opinion, had an used LCD smartphone before, which held barely a day in the end, this one has two days and a half with battery saver kicking in at 25% which is more than enough for me.

Cloud storage: If you only want to backup photos, videos and the like, self hosted Immich, PhotoPrism or Ente is good. Online Ente otherwise.

Noooo is a demo app :( I guess there's no alternative someone can trust/free and open source for that
What's a demo app? GNU Taler? Yeah, I said in the future. The preparation phase for the digital euro just started. If GNU Taler gets selected, you can start using it after 2025-2027

For email, you can get Migadu and use your domain (in fact, I think that's their only option unless I'm mistaken ie no foo(at)migadu.com). I'm biased cause I use them but I think their prices are fair and they have a student discount, if that applies to you. It works with K9 nicely.
For gallery, I use Aves Libre.
Also idk if I missed it but if you're looking for a calendar the Fossify calendar is good.
I was thinking about using my domain with cloudflare, postman on an ubuntu based server I own so I could make mails like: myname@, spam@, service@ but I don't know if Migadu allows it and if I have to do something with cloudflare
I'll check it later at home for the gallery. Calendar yes, I'm interested In switching and I thought to see for the most used first
