Usually openvpn via tls port 443 is the least blocked.

Life has the meaning you choose to give it.

Why do you think someone 80 should dress any differenty? 80 is not even that old. My mom is like 95 and dresses the same pretty much she did decades ago.

As far as makeup and nails, that often looks foolish at any age.

Linux only, SSH works fine. Not e2ee. Nextcloud works fine but extra work unless you use a service provider. It can be e2ee but not normally so. Syncthing worth a look too. It is not cloud storage, but direct device transfer. Bitwarden send is useful too if you want to juat send file someone, and thunderbird is working on thunderbird send which might be interesting.

Maybe Synology if you want your own lan NAS?

All email services have vendor lock-in unless your using your own domain.

For what it is worth, I just moved my mail from my ISP to my own domain at a hosting service after 30 years. Took about 5 months to get everything changed but if I can do it anyone can.

Downside, using your own domain is probably less private but kind of depends.

Keep in mind that you actually do have control over what you and your reports use for software and their license compliance. Otherwise not your problem. Beyond that, it is an issue for legal anyway and management.
