I was in a similar position about 18 months ago. I was listening to K3tan present on privacy approaches & guiltily tucked my iPhone in my pocket. 😂

Start slowly but keep taking little steps towards becoming digitally sovereign.

I'm using K3tan's guide as a checklist of quick wins (that aren't so quick for an old boy).

The pixel part was just buy a second hand Google Pixel & load Calyx on it (so much easier than running a Bitcoin node 😂). Graphene was the other option (to calyx) which apparently has a better user experience now. Calyx is easy to load of you follow the instructions.
