Gitea is great, it took me about an hour or so from not knowing anything about it to having a full docker container up and running. If you are not too accustomed to self hosting I would caution against thinking it will be easy to have the server accessible to the internet as that assumption is incredibly wrong.

If you want to learn how to do it in a way that doesn’t screw you in the future, I would shy away from the GUI side of things, everyone who helps with issues related to git operates under the assumption that you are familiar with the CLI so if you don’t want to have to translate CLI commands to their respective actions in the GUI, I would bite the bullet and learn the commands.

I heard about bolt graphics during last CES, they seem to be fairly far along ATM, but we probably won’t see anything from them until 5-10 years at the earliest

Both are good options, but ATM the tuta protocol isn’t standardized which means you are relying on tuta maintaining their favorable stance on privacy, unlike other providers which still have support for IMAP and pop. ATM if you go with tuta you are committing to both their infrastructure & client whereas most other providers you don’t have to use their client.

Ivpn doesn’t support port forwarding so it probably won’t work well for filesharing. Private internet access has support for it, although I’m not thrilled with its jurisdiction atm, but that being said they have been subpoenaed before & were unable to produce logs so they probably aren’t bsing their no log policy.

I’m not sure if you are aware, but there is a reason why it is explicitly xc instead of just keepass. Xc is the Foss one & keepass is a corporate hell hole

I assume the point of the extension is to have support for autofill, if that is the case, you should be aware that it is generally a bad idea to give your browser access to that info directly since they are the definition of internet connected apps. What I do instead of autofill with keepassxc is open the vault and press the copy to clipboard buttons which works essentially the same way as autofill just with a couple more clicks.

They already laid the ground work by changing post mark date from when you send mail to when the mail carriers forward it

I would say approval voting is a complete solve, ranked choice is still susceptible to the spoiler effect since it may be in your interest to rank a candidate higher based upon them being the exact opposite of the candidate you definetly don’t want to win. If it is runoff ranked choice then it is mathematically solved, but you are relying on everyone following the correct voting strategy.
