I was pleasantly surprised to find a tauri app in the wild at my work. Our time tracking software uses it, at least for the Linux version.

The reason that 2fa exists is not to protect you if someone gets their hands on your device. It's to protect you if your "static" credentials leaked from a providers' database or you otherwise got phished. Using a password manager to handle mfa is totally reasonable.

I tried it now and could start a call without an account. Am I missing something?

I used it for a while but could not find good results for any kind of advanced query. Qwant in comparison is slightly better but still worse than duckduckgo unfortunately. For really niche stuff I still need to revert to Google..

Same here, most of my flat is ikea stuff and they've been going strong for 10 years. I don't buy the cheapest options at ikea but still, a kallax will easily last you that much if you don't jump on it. Only thing I don't recommend is mattress.

At the moment I pay 4 euros per month, so slightly more expensive than the cheaper commercial options out there but I control the software completely.

That is not something I do at the moment but I would be happy to hear how other people do it.

All VPN software might affect bandwidth due to the increased progressing needed for encryption, but quantifying it is hard because several factors come into play : mainly the hardware and bandwidth on either side of the tunnel. Giving it a go is easy and you can check which VPS specs give you the speed you require. Regarding the number of connections, I'm not sure of the answer. For all intents and purposes I don't run into a lot of problems on a daily basis and bandwidth is acceptable on a cheap 4€/mo VPS with 2 CPUs. Bonus tip for privacy, you can use port 443 for wireguard which makes it less obvious you're using a VPN.

The traffic is encrypted between my computer and a VPS located abroad that I rent, which acts as a sort of proxy. My ISP only sees traffic between me and the VPS.
