Oh no! Anyways…

Don’t understand why crypto is regarded as “shady”. It works great for exactly this purpose. The solution is literally staring you in the face lol

Finally. Thought I was going crazy about the YouTube playback getting stuck all the time!

Not at all. This just searches multiple search engines at once and presents you with the results from all of them on a single page.

XMPP servers and clients have different standards. Some supports audio/video calls

And the same is true about Matrix lol

What is the point of all these proxy search engines if they rely on the centralized servers’ indexes anyways?

Correction: it’s not even the indexes it’s the results. So really you still have no control over things such as the pageranking.

It’s worth noting that you can rewrite history after the fact with Git

/s ?

Make sure you understand volume block size before you start using it. It has a big impact on compression, performance and even disk utilization. In certain configurations you may be surprised to find out as much as 25% of your disk space (in addition to parity) is effectively gone and it is untrivial to change the block size after the fact.

What is UnifiedPush?

This ended up becoming a big issue with my OP7Pro where it would very aggressively kill apps causing them to constantly need to reload which would cost a lot of battery. My Pixel 7 does none of that and Firefox works great.

My goodness

Trilium for the same reasons, but the featureset of Trilium is more like Obsidian.

I’d love to use matrix more but unfortunately it’s really hard to convince other people to use it.

Don’t see how this is much different to today’s way of doing things where pretty much everyone is a freeloader to the centralized server. The major benefit is that it doesn’t have to be just one server anymore.

What if not everyone had to be a seeder?

It seems to me you are already looking into all the possible options besides getting a VPS with more RAM. I am a bit confused on why you are seeing increased CPU usage by the hypervisor for this though.

These answers are so unhelpful Imo. It just states the obvious and doesn’t answer OPs question. Everyone knows drugs or inhaling stuff is not the healthy optimum. OP is just looking for the least harmful way.

VM = x86 = android-x86 which OP already mentioned
