I've been living degoogled, free of spyware, and off of big tech for years now. I'd be willing to compile a multi-level guide on how to cut out as much of the big tech spyware from your lives as possible.

I've been setting up Nextcloud (Google Drive, Docs, Slides, Sheets, and Hangouts replacement), Pihole, VPN, etc. on a box at home over the summer. If you need help, let me know :)

(Docker makes it easy, once you know how to use Docker)

I run a nextcloud instance as well, and I'm 100% going to be putting this into the "advanced" teir of stuff people can do, along with graphene/lineage on android and a few other high-level tweaks.

Might be worth including: you could buy a domain name (like, I don't know, "trumpsupportingfamily.com" (or whatever) (there are some free TLDs but I don't know if I want to use them: .tk, .ml come to mind)).

You could then use Cloudflare (they have a free plan) to act as your DNS servers so your IP isn't exposed, and you can encrypt traffic to and from Cloudflare so that your ISP (if you're hosting from home) can't see what's going on. (look up Authenticated Origin Pulls.) Cloudflare can handle SSL for you too, but the issue is that you have to trust Cloudflare with your data (they could theoretically spy on you, but td.win trusts Cloudflare so I suppose I'm fine with it? I don't know.)

Then use nginx for a reverse proxy and you're all set
