I use gboard but don't let it phone home. It will "learn" new words for a few hours but then it forgets them, so I figure I'm pretty safe. It's suggestions are really basic and inane, I don't think it's getting any help from Google as far as prediction.
I have a bunch of old bare hard drives with tons of content sitting on them, and I was thinking about setting up a new NAS / piracy Linux box, as a backend for Plex or similar....
Usenet is still a thing and us binary kids have completely RUINED it. the *arr stack plays well with Usenet. TrueNAS Scale is Debian based and has apps and containers. Plex, Jellyfin, *arr, qbittorrent, SAB newsreader. It wasn't trivial to learn to set up but mine is automagic now. VPN is cheap now and lets you get on the public trackers but private trackers are where it's at for stuff too old for Usenet
