Proton will still be a for-profit company that will be majority-controlled by a non-profit. The non-profit will not own all of the business either, so there will still be profits going to shareholders.

Which is the same structure that Proton is moving to.
If checking their email a couple of times per year is too high a requirement, I would not recommend the time and effort necessary to maintain a mail server. Even people who enjoy self-hosting often do not want to host a mail server.
Signal still requires a phone number to use it. What they recently added is the ability to message people without needing to know their phone number.
I use Radicale for my calendars, reminders, and contacts precisely because of how minimal it is. It has been very reliable for me and is very easy to back up and restore since it is just files.
Create a different alias for everything using a service like:
iOS Reminders app synced with Radicale server.

VirtualBox still does not support Apple Silicon well. UTM is a great free and open source alternative.
DokuWiki. Everything is a text file that can just be copied to a web server. It doesn’t even require a database. And since all the wiki pages are plaintext markdown files, they can still be easily accessed and read even when the server is down.
Android Pay was between Google Wallet and Google Pay. This is at least the fourth rebrand for Google’s payment services.
I use Downpour for Audiobooks. It is similar to Audible where audiobooks can be purchased individually, or there is a subscription that provides credits to purchase audiobooks. The audiobooks are drm-free and can be downloaded. I have not found a way to automate the download and transfer to my Audiobookshelf server, but I don’t mind doing it manually considering I average around two or three audiobooks a month.
But Sony only provides 2 to 3 years of software and security updates, so getting an older model might not be the best idea either.
Sony covers most of those, but they are not cheap.
Doku still has the typical wiki style version control. It uses other text files to keep a changelog without cluttering the markdown file.
DokuWiki for simplicity. Everything is a text file that can just be copied to a web server. It doesn’t even require a database. And since all the wiki pages are plaintext markdown files, they can still be easily accessed and read even when the server is down. This is great and why I use DokuWiki for my server documentation as well.
Because they get an extra $200 per upgrade to a usable amount, while getting to advertise the lower price. And the low specs force early upgrades for the people who purchase the base model. As always, it’s about the money.
I use Pocket because it is compatible with my Kobo ereader.
