If you are paying for Bitwarden, or using their free tier, stop and and start hosting vaultwarden. You can still use the Bitwarden app, with vaultwarden but with all the premium features.
Get a firewall you can either install OpenWRT or opnSense on, when making my decision I went with OpenWRT because opnSense has a webpage that tries to upsell you. vLAN the heck out of your place, and set up a VPN to access your services like vaultwarden out side of your home. On a vLAN that cannot access your WAN or anything else put your IoT things, on a vLAN that cannot access anything else setup crowdsec. On the topic of crowdsec it should be your only device that port 22 is ssh!
For your IoT things set up home assistant, which should be on a different vLAN that can reach out to the WAN and into the IoT vLAN to control stuff. I wish I could say I have completly degoogled and deappled, but I am waiting for a year for my iPhone to stop getting updates and whenever for my iPad to stop getting updates. I should probably replace my homepod minis sooner rather than later with the Naebu things for HA. The only thing I still have a Google account for is youtube but once I get a hand me down Mac mini I will install Debian and get a youtube replacement with sponsor block.
One of the things that finally got me off of cPanel was the host I was using decided to rape me over the coals without letting me have a wildcard email address so I got a business plan that I could have unlimited email addresses so if one got spammy I could just turn it off and if I still used the service I just changed the email, or if I wanted to extend a free trial I could just spin up a new address. So I recently moved to a new host that offers wild card addresses.
Get a whole LAN adblocker, let it be pihole or adguard home, there was recently that spyware ad pixel so expect more of those in the future. Me personally use pihole and have it very finally tuned to block a lot. I tried adguard once but liked pihole better, this was years ago even before I had pihole finaly tuned so don’t ask me why I liked pihole more.
