Steam deck for sure. Being on Linux is just the icing on the cake. I only play on the deck now and take it with me when I travel. I also use it to watch stuff from. I also love that valve are not rushing another model. There are many years left in the device. Also for emulation it just knocks it out of the park.
If you do use one use fake data at least. Temp phone number and throwaway email. Fake name and address if needed. You can rent a P.O box if you need to receive a package.
All they need is the DNA to sequence. The account details won’t make a difference as long as you can access it. You can ask a friend to pay for you and pay them cash or use privacy.com or one of those prepaid debit cards.
Not exactly, nextcloud is more akin to Dropbox where as syncthing just keeps the folders in sync so if you delete or move a file out of the folder the file will be removed on the other machine(s).
But it is peer to peer so you can create a folder, copy your file in and someone else can sync with you using the unique code for your share. The whole thing is encrypted and nobody else can read or intercept the data and it also works great even if you need to interrupt and resume it later . when the transfer has completed if the recipient moves the file it will be deleted from the original folder on your machine. So thats why its best to create a copy to share.
You can do read only shares etc but the official docs go into more detail there
