I use Bitwarden for pw manager and 2FA. I use that to create a random password for anything I sign up to.
I am fortunate enough to run my own mail server, so for every signup I don't trust, I make a new email address and only use it for that one thing.
You can do facetube+normalemail@someplace.con if you cannot run your own. This at least lets you know who is leaking your info.
I generally try to run as much FOSS as possible, I do dual boot Win/Linux because unfortunately we still have companies not providing for both OS.
And if I go out in the public, I wear a cricket box.
And this folks, is why I remind my family - Just because it's soap, doesn't mean its clean..
I always wash from top down, with the exception of hair I do last. Since I practically have none (bit of shampoo every few days) I don't think this matters unless I have been shat on by a bird or something!
Neck/ears/face etc first (after a good pre-lather - see above, then a post-lather), then shoulders armpits, arms etc, then belly, balls and bum, down the legs to the ankles. Like someone else said here, I'm 190cm and at this point I am already uncomfortably prone! Feet are always dancing around in soapy water so they are fine, and I never got toe jam so it must be okay.
Strange. Chrome based browsers do not allow autoplay in most cases. If the site specifically default mutes the video then autoplay is allowed. I believe Firefox adheres to this as well. I don't know anything about Safari.
Will not autoplay:
<video controls autoplay>
Will autoplay:
<video controls autoplay muted>
If the sites you visit autoplay unmuted videos, they are circumventing html somehow. So this means you can probably use uBlock (or ABP) and its element picker to remove the element/video, but that's also annoying if since you won't ever see the videos, and something you do want to watch comes up.
I recommend you serve whatever you want to serving on vm's/whatever on your internal network, and then use HAProxy (Built-in) to do the forwarding via opnsense. HAProxy is a High Availability and Performance proxy and load balancer, it does what nginx proxy manager does and more.
Your second, third and fourth points eliminate many distros such as Ubuntu. And many of the distros out there are based on Debian.
Debian isn't really stale. It is currently running kernel 6.1.10 which is not a long way from 6.1.39 (longterm, and that only came out 2 days ago). Stable gets constant updates. Testing is also generally very stable. The only thing that stops testing moving into stable is what are considered Release Critical bug count. All documented here: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ftparchives#testing
Also while Debian 12 is LTS, it won't stop 13 from coming out and it doesn't stop you from upgrading to 13 (although you may lose LTS if they decide that 13 will not be LTS).
Debian is about as open as you can get, certainly does not infringe on your 2, 3 and 4th points.
Only other thing is what you are doing with your Linux, this might make a difference (you say daily driver, but doing what? Just office stuff, or heavy video editing, etc)
I do, but only to support FOSS users in some communities that are not here [yet].
There is no opnsense community here in Lemmy, so when I see questions there in reddit, I help where I can.
However, my "bio" or whatever it is called in reddit, clearly states that I have moved to Lemmy permanently.
I am actually considering creating a opnsense community here and hoping that Franco will come and join, and take over ownership.
Don't worry Zuck will follow suit.
And if you make content and it does bring in revenue to you, why not leach extra money out of the 3 biggest tax dodgers!
