Also use Borgbase for 25$/year for 250GB. Additionally my data is saved via Syncthing to several devices.

I ended up with the same solution, but it is a bit lacking and seems to be abandoned. Did you manage to import playlists from other devices?

Yes, the TV remote controls Kodi via CEC.

I have an LG with WebOS which is also not connected to the internet. So that’s unfortunately not an option.

I haven’t used eOS myself, but in terms of privacy it is much better thsn stock Android. Just give it a try. In case you don’t lime it, you can switch back to Android.

Congratulations!

Do I understand correctly that you log in to your router over Tailscale and then from their you SSH into your server to uncrypt? Or can you access your server directly?

I set up Dropbear also for my server, but can only access it over local SSH. So I set up a Raspberry Pi which allows me to remotely unlock the server.

If you plan to buy a new laptop I would give my money to a (somewhat) ethical company which fully supports Linux:

NovaCustom

Framework

Starlabs

Nitrokey

Tuxedo

system76

Some of those even have core boot built in.

I also tried the same options and was not satisfied by any. Good luck with your program! I would be curious to try it when it’s ready.

Tailscale offers a paid Mullvad integration, where you can select most Mullvad servers as exit nodes. Works quite well.
