I don’t think it’s about lemmy.
I really don’t like the “but otherwise we’d need a warrant” approach.
Yes, of course you should need a warrant. That’s the bit that’s the safeguard and actually is the checks and balance against abuse. It’s not a problem to be optimized away.
Sounds like you need bevel gears.

I’m with Gordon though. It’s easier to move the fitting than rig up gearing.
I’ve done this for years, but also:
Fastmail.
But, it’s not the cheapest. $5 a month gets what you need though.
Really quick WebUI, great features, including hosting your own domains and smtp rewriting.
Very smart helpful support team.
Great for degoogling.
The major email providers will only handle email from know good and trusted IPs. If you’ve been hosting on the same IP for 15 years you’re trusted. If you started it last night your IP is still untrusted. It takes a long time to gain trust.
SendGrid has a good explanation here: https://sendgrid.com/resource/email-guide-ip-warm-up/
Moving to Caseta for lighting from the random mix of bulbs which never quite work was amazing. It's also much cheaper to put in one controllable switch than replace the 6 bulbs in the light fittings connected to the wall switch. Those bulbs always fail in weird and non-debuggable ways.
I use Crafty Controller (https://craftycontrol.com/) to manage the minecraft servers. It runs in a docker instance and gives you a nice web UI to manage each minecraft server. I use it to delegate control to my kids to create and manage servers as necessary.
Finally, if you're not using a config mgmt tool, I'd start looking, so you can make everything easily re-doable. Personally I'm using Ansible, but puppet, chef, salt, etc all work too. Ansible is easiest given it does need it's own infra. I like it so if something dies I can redeploy everything onto a different server.
NetNewsWire with syncing through Feedly.
The Feedly web UI is decent, and NNW is great on Mac and iOS.
I use Feedly directly in the web UI primarily on Windows and Linux
It all stays in sync nicely.
I run ddclient on a local machine and it updates my Cloudflare DNS records if my IP changes.
OPNSense has it built in too, if you use it. So does PFSense, I think. Been a while, might be misremembering.
I’ve found Magnet to be great for snapping windows about the screen.
“For example, if you send a message from Beeper to a friend on WhatsApp, the message is encrypted on your Beeper client, sent to the Beeper web service, which decrypts and re-encrypts the message with WhatsApp's proprietary encryption protocol.”
So, not really end to end for most common use-cases.
