Not self-hosted but also got Tailscale for accessing these away from home.

Planned:
- Steam streaming
- i3/Sway remote desktop (which remote desktop apps considered decent these days?)
- WoL + remote desktops for VMs on main PC
- SearXNG or similar for search
- Home Assistant
- Automated backups

That is very much the case here:

All I can see Streeting's review resulting in is that average time for accurate diagnosis increasing, and more people losing decades of their life to the UK's policy failures around mental health services.

Finally receiving bipolar diagnosis - and crucially meds - ended 19 years of hell. Nearly six years now on mood stablisers and the severe depressions that used to consume 6+ months of every year have gone. And that is but one of the multitude of issues that have gone entirely with right meds.

I had great GP who suspected bipolar years before I got a diagnosis. After being discharged by the first Glasgow service I had clear manic episode, where the service then declined referral from my GP and declined the second referral as well that my GP wrote challenging their initial decision.

When I explained experiences I now know were mania as why I know the severe depressions - not 'unhappiness' - were not without end, their reply? "You can't expect that to me normal." Despite replying "I know that isn't normal, there has to be something inbetween", they still didn't consider bipolar.

Then first service I was referred to in Glasgow, I was eventually discharged by the HEAD of the service who - at the meeting where they discharged me - in response to me discussing a suicide attempt and suicidal ideation said "you may just have an unhappiness that can't be cured".

GP service in Stirling was utterly dire, with GP jokingly dismissing difficulties I was experiencing on things like 'exam stress', where I had to repeatedly remind them I was doing a PhD and didn't have any exams. Other GPs over the years did similar, but the Stirling GP was by far the worst.

The first mental health service I had misfortune to be referred to became subject to an independent review that found it was using any possible excuse to deny people support.

Within a single appointment they decided I had "drug-induced psychosis" & discharged me... when I wasn't using any drugs.

Google isn't the worst offender, despite having Android phone+tablet. Instead, 20.78% of blocked requests are Microsoft.

None of my devices run Windows. This is all requests being sent by using Microsoft apps in browser / on Android.

Where work mandates specific apps or its a niche app without Linux version or equivalent, then that may be reason not to switch or to setup a VM. I manage to avoid Windows 99% of the time at work, but have a Windows VM for whenever I need to use the one work app without version/equivalent on Linux.

Aside from games with anti-cheat, gaming is largely a non-issue now - with some games running better on Linux than Windows. Though best to check for info on any specific games. Where you have choice of apps for work, then you may find suitable alternatives for ones not available on Linux.
