Tachiyomi is excellent for comics even though it might seem like (and originally is?) a manga reader.

I use it with the Komga plugin to read comics from my self-hosted Komga server.

At least in Finland it’s normal for some employers to offer to pay for your phone and plan and you can use the same phone all the time for both, personal stuff and work.

This 100%! I switched over years ago and have been very happy using it on my desktop computer, laptop as well as my phones.

With only around 100k users and most people using anonymous usernames that cannot be connected to their identity it would hardly be worth the effort, time or money.

I agree with this. I have been using Pocket way before it was integrated into Firefox and tbh the extension was much better - seems like after tying it to my Firefox Sync account I have to relogin every few days to get the “Add to Pocket” button to work. The extension just remained logged in and stuff worked.

I’m intending to switch over to self-hosted Wallabag though, for privacy and efficiency reasons.

My condolences on your lost data. That must have been a horrible realization.

I’ve also learned the hard way to keep all my important documents on Nextcloud which is completely synced to my desktop and laptop as well as backed up to another server with Borg. I also backup the ephemeral local files (screenshots, wallpapers, programming stuff) from my SSD, again with Borg to that same backup server and an external hard drive.
