Pretty sure KeepassXC keeps its DB closed unless editing, I’ve not had trouble syncthinging it to my phone. That said, if I was worried, I’d designate a network accessible DB as ‘the truth’ and have everyone edit that, then set up a systemd service using a rsync (guts of syncthing) script to put it on all the sometimes network inaccessible endpoints on a regular basis, daily maybe?
That’s the one.
Damn straight. Yes, docker has rootless now, although I rarely see it in the wild (as I’m converting it to rootless podman), no one seems to care or know. I was using user level quadlets (really like the syntax and structure) before that, and you get SELinux as well. Everything that doesn’t really need it should not have root, pretty much the basic level of Linux (back to Unix) security and Docker is like, ‘Don’t Care, Got Root ;)’.

After all, gotta show solidarity with your peers.
Seriously, if IoT things were (easily, as in consumer protection laws) liable for damages, we’d have so much less useless, dangerous crap that’s mostly just there to monetize your data. How many of these ESP32 things can even be updated.
IoT VLAN > /dev/null (or perhaps to HomeAssistant, carefully, with blocklists) kiddies.
Slop for Nazi Sloppers…
If you’ve got an old laptop lying around that might work for free, or get a cheap old ThinkPad (you can squash 3 drives into a T440p for example).
If you’ve got some old PC stuff lying around and maybe a case, an AM4 5600G or Intel 12000 or so system can be pretty cheap to fill out the missing bits, boom, NAS (just doing this myself, only needed a mobo, sweet, check the bios supports undervolting for power savings). Get some extra PCIe slots for a HBA card as you grow, maybe an old video card for transcode. Even 8G RAM should get you going.
ETA: It Lives! Gonna call it Athena (I have a greek god naming convention, and Athena of wisdom makes sense for the storage of data).
Otherwise, second the second hand SFF.
Work out if you need transcode for the media server, that will limit your options to specific later CPUs.
Gonna say yes? Did it a while back, like as year, via Aurora, comes up as com.google.android.GoogleCamera for me, and Camera in the UI.
You can just use the Google Camera App on gOS (add playstore, download app, remove playstore, kill GCams network, it doesn’t need google stuff to run). It really is optimized for the hardware.
Older Linux laptop, T480s are cheap, plus you have a Linux laptop in a pinch, or whatever Thinkpad is currently being dumped on the market from corpo fleets. All of that just works, host a Jellyfin on it and upload videos to that, laptop, so low wall power. Moonlight is great on my T580 to a wide 1440 for example. Bazzite’s pretty painless.
Yup, ‘smart’ TVs should never get a live internet connection, ever. Don’t give it a WIFI password, if you have made that mistake change the password now. Attach a computer, preferably Linux, and use it as a monitor. Even if you then go ahead and use a streaming service (boo), at least you’re not just giving audio/video of your living room to Samsung as well.
1337x is pretty damn good, look into flaresolverr for the Cloudflare, it’s a bit hit or miss (cat and mouse game there) but useful. Also Limetorrents, EZTV and good old piratebay are worth it IMO.
Lots of stuff, but here’s a neat one https://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/index.rss - top ten hacker news for the day.
