A good read about British water companies dumping raw sewage into rivers:
Summary:
The article “Sewage sleuths: the men who revealed the slow, dirty death of Welsh and English rivers” discusses the pollution of rivers in England and Wales due to sewage and agricultural waste. Water companies have been accused of releasing billions of litres of raw sewage into rivers, including the Thames. In response to these allegations, the Environment Agency (EA) and Ofwat announced an investigation into water companies in England and Wales on November 18, 2021 . However, the article also highlights that most of the pollution in rivers like the Wye comes from agriculture rather than sewage works, and there is no quick fix for this problem. Regulators have retreated from checking whether farmers are following the rules around pollution, just as they did for water companies, leading to similar consequences . The article emphasizes the lack of government action and enforcement of environmental protection laws, which has allowed river pollution to continue. It also raises concerns about the potential impacts of this pollution on public health, wildlife, and the environment .

Looks interesting, bookmarking to try this out.
Is it fair to say Webmesh is your open source version of Nord VPN’s Meshnet? https://meshnet.nordvpn.com/
https://www.collaboraoffice.com/nextcloud/ sounds like what you’re looking for. I’ve not tried it myself as I actually like the Google docs/sheets etc offering.
In your cloud sync app, you should be able to ask it to sync your camera folder - I know the nextcloud app asks if you want this, and you can also point it to specific folders to keep in sync.
If your self host cloud doesn’t have an app, just use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full to sync chosen folders.
Go Daddy. The name alone is just plain creepy.
Ahhh, just found this in the FAQ, sadly I think it’s not possible to backup app data using Shizuku.
https://swiftapps.org/faq#appparts
"The private app data in /data/data/ or /data/user/*/ that stores your app preferences, login info, databases, etc. This is the most important part to restore apps potentially with their state preserved.
Requirements: ⚠️ Root required for backup & restore ⚠️ Shizuku mode (ADB access) cannot read/write at these path"
Hold up… So are you saying that I could use Shizuku / Swiftbackup, and it would do backup and restore of app data, just like when I used to have root and Titanium Backup?! That would be a game changer, I never fully trusted Google backups or Samsung Smart Switch to do the full job.
