- Mullvad
- Addy.io
- A TV EPG provider so i can set my HTPC USB receivers to record stuff each week for the family (1. It details for specific channels new series/new episodes for the week aired between certain times of day which websites dont seem to do 2. Its cheaper & far more efficient than a TV mag/newspaper 3. Its extremely cheap so great value)
- I donate to some open source projects/devs when I find I'm using a product regularly

I'm also waaaay late but posting for those that might be interested. https://lemmy.ml/c/videos seems to be predominantly political type videos (warning: I dont watch them, they could be balanced/propaganda/rage bait/conspiratorial).
PS I'd also have voted to keep them separate.
I consider myself a novice but this is how I do it too (ngnx reverse proxy handling SSL in conjunction with Duckdns domain. Wireguard for remote access to everything else). Both Nginx & duckdns are fairly straightforward to set up through Docker/Portainer.
Should the need arise I'll look at Tailscale.
I dont use HA yet, it's something I'd like to get into if I can figure out VLAN in order to keep IoT stuff away from the rest of the network.

I only witness it whenever ~~any of my work colleagues~~ anyone with a phone wants to show me a video. Always have to sit through ads before & during the video. Absolutely horrific. Mind you they also have to close multiple pop up ads in every app they ever use on their phone. I couldn't live with it & not learn how to deal with it
People allow their TV to connect to the interpipes? Tut tut, I thought y'all were better than that!
For images, on Android you could use Imagepipe.
Once you've set it up, simply "share" the image to Imagepipe, it does its thing then automatically passes it on to whatever app you want - for example a messaging app for you to send on to others (it stores a copy of the image minus its metadata in an Imagepipe folder in your gallery for ease of access should you need it again).
For video, from memory I think mp3tag for Windows/Mac can remove metadata from some video formats
mobile Chromium doesn't have ublock anyway...
Kiwi browser on Android is Chromium based & has had the ability to add extensions such as uBlock for years
Can't help with payments but if it's a loyalty card wallet you're after, zCard is excellent & allows you to add your own image/art for the card
Edit: just re-read your requirements, zCard doesn't use NFC. My bad, I should pay more attention. Still, it's a good app so i won't delete my reply just in case someone else finds it useful
I tend to go with Panasonic because they make excellent panels. Mine doesnt have ads anywhere in the UI & doesnt have a camera or mic. Our set was originally released in 2021 & still looks great. The menus aren't great but once its set up we never use them, its turned on/off & thats it. Never connect it to the net. Ours is connected to HTPC & amp
An alternative would be to get a monitor & connect USB TV tuner to your media PC/HTPC
Nothing sophisticated, I just have a note for videos. The note has headings (use the [toc] trick at the top of the note to jump directly to the headings without having to scroll through everything)
You could categorise video links by genre or whatever your preference. I chose to categorise by length, say up 10 minutes, 11 to 20 minutes, 20 to 30 minutes & so on. So i set up appropriate headings.
Thats it. I also set up a heading for "Audio" as some videos are essentially podcasts, audio based talks etc & Kiwi browser allows background play.
Its a few extra steps over tapping "save for later" in YouTube app but it takes seconds to copy title, copy url & paste into a note & it caters for videos from any source. To remove myself from the shitty algorithm it works for me
