Email isn't that secure anyway (don't use email if your life or freedom depends on it), so I don't see that as much as a downside.

Could be a bad dock or usb controller, try a different one. Otherwise just snap the sata connector off, and most people will not bother to get anything off.
Transmission has a proper daemon. The CLI isn't very ergonomic for manual use, but there are various frontends you can use.
It only applies to network devices that respect the setting. However, if you are using windows, for machines you care about, you can just configure DoT.

Android also supports DoT, as does firefox as I mentioned above. For any given device you can search for "android DNS over TLS" and get info to see if it can be easily turned on.
However, also keep in mind if you are using Windows, then using DoT is like putting a bandaid on a gushing wound. The underlying OS is not trustworthy.
I don't think NixOS is used by many companies, so it's not really a skill that will likely lead to employment. Most companies use containers and tools like ansible which is accomplishing something similar to nix.
DNS doesn't really matter for piracy, but it can help improve privacy and security.
DNS over TLS will ensure all your dns requests are encrypted, and most clients actually validate the certificate so attempts to hijack the connection are not easily possible.
Firefox can bypass your systems DNS and use DoH. I think windows also supports DoT.
For Linux, systemd networkd and resolved also support DoT.
Keep in mind that some software does not obey system dns settings and can do their own DNS.
You should more prominently ask for donations in any site update posts. The cost between a dedicated server and VPS is pretty big.
Probably to verify email addresses on signup.
Hardware encoders are common and "cheap" these days. They may not be as good as properly tuned software based encoders, but they are fast.
In software, keeping things small means they can be simpler. And simple things tend to have better uptime for less effort. Lemmy is rust based, so performance should be reasonable for most instances. Also, due to the federation, the work for instances is distributed like email, so the system naturally distributes load.
It's probably a lot like IRC, there will be different servers or networks with different specialities, but from a user perspective you can be on many at the same time.
No matter what you choose, encrypt the data you store to avoid drama.
You could take a look at wasabi. Keep in mind that I think they have minimum commit. So if you add 1tb of data, you are charged for storing it a minimum of a few months.
Backblaze b2 and cloudflare r2 are also options.
Google drive is also a decent storage platform at a reasonable price. 9.99/mo for 2tb. You can check the rclone matrix for features and alternatives.
Google and other search engines can crawl lemmy just fine. The only downside is that the information will be split across domains unless google puts in a special case for lemmy/fediverse or something.
