Gut health gone wild

I have an old OnePlus 5T that has LineageOS installed. I don't really do anything with it and I thought it would be cool to host my first ever website (static) on it.

What I've done so far:

1. Got the HTML file for my website.
2. Got the CSS style sheet for that site.
3. Purchased a domain name.

I request help/guidance with:

1. Minimal install of Debian, nginx, Docker, and Fail2ban. (I feel I need help with the Debian installation because the rest is seems easy enough).
2. Hosting my website from my home, so like if I should consider subnet or vlan for my home to protect other devices when I expose port 80 (http) and 443 (https) of my router so other servers can access my server phone.

I know this sounds like complicating matters for something I have never done before, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I have hosted stuff at home (pihole, LibreTranslate, etc) but I think this website project may not be straightforward.

A while ago, I had requested help with using LLMs to manage all my teaching notes. I have since installed Ollama and been playing with it to get a feel for the setup.

I was also suggested the use of RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation ) and CA (cognitive architecture). However, I am unclear on good self hosted options for these two tasks. Could you please suggest a few?

For example, I tried ragflow.io and installed it on my system, but it seems I need to setup an account with a username and password to use it. It remains unclear if I can use the system offline like the base ollama model, and that information won't be sent from my computer system.

I am an EU citizen and I was informed that my EURAXESS account was breached. They informed me that while the password wasn't stolen, all of my personal data including addresses, IDs from the CV was stolen and made available on some website.

They say that they're working towards making the site secure, etc., but I know that my personal info is out there. They have even told me to watch out for scams and phishing attempts over the next few months to come.

I am a bit shaken. Please tell me what steps I can take to gain back some control over this situation?

I have received a lot of PDF documents that I wish to convert to text formats such as docx/doc/odt.

I know there are some online tools that will do it for you, but some content may be sensitive with people's names and addresses and I'm not sure I can trust these websites.

Are there software that will convert a PDF to odt?

Things I know and tried:

1. Asked a friend to open PDF in Microsoft Word: Their license expired last month, so it doesn't let you save the file!

2. Tried to do the same on my LibreWriter: It doesn't support that format.

3. Tried to open in LibreDraw: untenable as I want to type more things in the document.

P.S: I use Linux, but reckon solutions for platforms would be fine.

There are many corrupt people in the government, both elected politicians and unelected officials. Many are p#do***les, other launder money, some rig elections, while others surveil and harass innocent people.

To protect our Parliament, and Constitution, all these politicians and their families should come under public scrutiny. All their financial records, their communications, their online search histories, should be in the public domain.

In other words, we need parity of privacy between the State and its People.

This sounds hair-brained and extreme, but the public is already under intensive surveillance. I think experience needs to be felt by the officials as well so they finally begin to value the fundamental right to privacy.

I rarely use my smartphone and find it a bit annoying to have to use it for 2FA through apps. I wish to get physical passkeys that will allow me to login to my laptop.

I have heard of YubiKey although I haven't given it any serious consideration since it is closed source. (My super-tin-foiled friend who introduced me to this world of privacy taught me to never trust a closed-source solution... _long _ story).

Are there any FLOSS versions of Yubikey? Can they be used to log into a Linux machine? Or for banking?
