I assume you're American? When you need to talk to people across borders you need something like WhatsApp. SMS doesn't cut it.
I'd rather use Signal but whatever.. I'm being practical. Everyone I know is on WhatsApp.

I see German and French posts everyday.
Never used syncthing so I'm not sure. Resilio is running a modified bittorrent protocol. It's always been fast and easy for me so I've never had the motivation to look into anything else.
Resilio Sync instead of something like Dropbox or Google Drive.
Fastmail is pretty solid too.
They would need to build an office within a ten minute walk from my home.
Check the neighborhood maps on nomadlist. Check out where there are supposed to be cool stuff/people. Usually I just search Google maps for things/streets in those neighborhoods for things that might be interesting.. Cafés, restaurants, bars, shops, etc..
You MUST get used to meeting locals when you're traveling a lot. Meetup.com, couchsurfing, internations, dating apps, or even the hostel where you are staying.
For context, I traveled full time, nonstop for 4ish years before covid. This is how I did the majority of my travel. Things like attractions or museums or historical places get really old really fast. If I never set foot in an art museum for the rest of my life, I will not be upset in the slightest. People, food, shopping, culture.. This is the only thing I feel is worth seeing anymore.
I always rolled my own Debian servers on microitx boards. I found a cheap synology a few years ago though and gave it a shot.. I'm a convert for sure. They fully live up to the hype and are absolutely worth the price.
Ages ago I did this with some cli tool that found episode/movie metadata stored in themoviedb or somewhere and just built a shell script around it. I don't remember the name unfortunately. Now I just let Plex manage it and I don't bother.
This looks like it might work though:
When I die, just stick a ham bone up me ass and let the dogs carry me away.
I'm shocked the auto zoom function isn't mentioned. I am zoomed into the area where I am. I search for something. The app zooms out to show me results from places literal hours away.. Sometimes on different continents. I'm annoyed, I zoom back in to where I was, click on a result, and it zooms out AGAIN. WTF?
I still get nagged constantly to add a birthday to my Google account to make sure I am older than 13 or something.. To satisfy some dumb law I think. The email account is like 15 years old though. How could I be under 13 if it's that old?
I was a kid when I last had it. Really uneventful. "Count backwards from 10" and you're out by 6.
My wife had it a few months ago to fix a deviated septum. Her native language is Turkish. When she came to she was only speaking English. The doctors couldn't understand her "but she seems fine." I told her she was speaking Chinese just to fuck with her a bit. "Oh no! We need to get a dictionary!" It was really strange.. She understood Turkish perfectly fine but was completely unable to speak it.
Other than some funny after effects, it was mostly a non-issue for her as well. She was fine after a couple hours.
