firefox sync has worked pretty great for me, across all devices. I don't self host it, but seems like once again, they've gotten it to the point where you can.

look into the moto razr+ . I've had one for a few weeks now and really like it

I agree. What I'm proposing is, if you go with that option, that you use a branch as a "single instance label", pointing at commits within your main branch. Don't use them as actual branches for additional environment-specific commits.

I would recommend you avoid relying on features of GitHub, and only use features of git. You never know when you might decide to switch repo hosting providers!

With that said, you've got a number of options: you can use tags or branches as "labels" to choose what's applied to what environment, or depending on the flavor of IaC you're using, have an entry point for each environment in your code which includes and parameterizes a common "environment" module.

I've had mine for about two weeks now. Although it does have Ready For, it does not have displayport out of the USB-C port. This means you can only get the desktop experience via Miracast. When connected by cable, it can act as a peripheral (keyboard/touchpad/webcam) though.

I stopped using extensions on anything meant to be an "executable" since it leaves me with the option to switch it's implementation. e.g. shell to python or some binary

I'm currently pretty happy with the moto razr+ that just came out. when folded closed, it's essentially a smol single-handed phone. Previously I had a moto stylus something. Word of warning about moto phones, is pay attention to what things they're missing. That stylus phone didn't have NFC, didn't support Miracast. Neither of these phones have displayport, or even USB-3 out of the USB-C port. besides that, they're good phones: pretty well built, software is unobtrusive, easy to root.

the small phone situation is pretty dire in general. I went through 3 Xperia z3c's before I gave up.

For bonus points, you can use fdroidcl to reinstall your fdroid apps from a list when you reset your phone!

I've been on a very slow-burn transition from using gmail (and other google services). Email is hard, since that's an address others contact you by, so you can't easily switch providers on a whim. I kinda broke the problem down into steps:

First, buy my own domain, and have the registrar forward all email sent to it, to my gmail account. At this point, I could continue using gmail as the interface, and host, but I no longer had to use it as an address I hand to people/services, I would give them [servicename]@[mydomain.whatever].

Second, I purchased email hosting from the registrar. I continued with the setup, of having everything forwarded to gmail, using it as a host and interface, but used the alias feature to send replied back from any @[mydomain.whatever] address.

Third, I started investigating alternate email clients: thunderbird and fairemail are where I'm currently at, so that I'm only gmail as the email host, but no longer rely on it's interface.

I haven't taken the final step, of switching to a different provider (cause I'm a big wuss)... I might wind up doing something self-hosted, but at this point it's easy enough for me to switch by re-pointing my forwards. Most email comes in/out of an address at my domain, and I don't depend on gmail to be my email 'client'.

So all that to say, not that I have an answer for you, but I have a recommendation, to buy your own domain, and give yourself the flexibility to switch around different providers.
