Pretty simple workflow, here. I've been using Kill the Newsletter![0] to get newsletters into an RSS reader and out of my inbox. KTN generates a new email address to use for the signup, and an associated atom feed to subscribe to. Within your reader, I have the freedom to group and organize my RSS feeds as I see fit.
My workflow doesn't address your primary problem of reclaiming storage; I've addressed that with buying more local storage: I rely on two TrueNAS servers and Backblaze B2.
The primary TrueNAS server has a dataset for photos and is served via Samba share that I mount, as my primary access point across devices. Lightroom points to this share for the photos, and iCloud for Windows downloads new photos and videos to this share, as well.
On a weekly basis, that dataset is replicated to the secondary server and also synced to B2 via `rclone`. I do make use of the `rclone crypt`[0] option before pushing to B2, where the filenames are scrambled. There's no particular reason for this, other than it's how I first set it up years ago and haven't needed to change it. I have practiced file recoveries periodically to ensure I can still access my photos via `rclone`.
Assuming you have a Mac paired with your iPhone, I'd consider iCloud for the usability wins for your requirements. You can toggle the setting to download original resolution photos for the desktop Photos app and backup the resulting files separately. Perhaps to Glacier.
I also use TrueNAS as the main place for storing everything that matters. It is also backed up to Backblaze B2 but using restic instead of rclone.
Having a local NAS with RAID redundancy, a filesystem with checksums and backed up properly brings much better peace of mind than relying on proprietary solutions like iCloud or Google drive.
RSS is how I filter and consume the majority of my news, blogs, HN, newsletters, and monitor Google Alerts for domain specific questions or topics that I'm interested in.
For the client, I've landed on FreshRSS for the web/desktop experience as it allows me sufficient control to group and tag articles for my own needs. Deployment is simple: docker-compose on a small Droplet that hosts a few other apps. It's helpful that there are a few RSS reader apps on iOS that support syncing with self-hosted FreshRSS instances, as well.
You could setup an RSS reader with hnrss[0] to follow a particular user's posts and comments. This has been working pretty well for my own purposes. From there, the frequency of your updates should be configurable by whatever RSS reader you choose.
Ferrum Health | REMOTE (EU, Latin America, South America, Canada) | Full Time | Senior Software Engineer (Go, Backend) | https://ferrumhealth.com
Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the US, and Ferrum builds AI-powered monitoring systems to help health systems detect and address mistakes before they affect patient care.
Ferrum is a fully remote and distributed company. Since launching its first offering for lung cancer errors two years ago, Ferrum now covers over 10 million patients at ten health systems around the world, including the US. The company is backed by multiple top-tier venture capital firms and is led by an experienced digital health founding team that includes industry leaders in enterprise healthcare, machine learning, and edge infrastructure security.
We are looking for a senior/mid-level software engineer with a history of developing robust and scalable platforms, who also has an undersatnding of Linux networking and storage technologies. While our stack is primarily written in Go, professional experience in Go is not necessary.
You would be joining a small engineering organization that has proven track records of delivering solutions in the networking, storage, and machine learning spaces.
Our ideal candidates have proven technical skills in addition to a passion for improving the quality of healthcare.

You may want to look at Miniflux[0] to see if that fits your needs. There's a paid hosting option, but it's also straightforward to deploy on a VPS or your localhost.
Alternatively, you could also look at having yet another app like Reeder[1] that syncs to Feedly, FreshRSS, Miniflux, etc. while helping to clean up the browsing and reading experience.
Similar situation here with FastMail for emails with people, while keeping my G-Suite account (free; grandfathered from the Google Apps days) around for Google-services whenever I need to hop on to a Hangouts and such.
I would assume that the privacy remark is related to the Australian data-encryption bill. FastMail has a blog post in late-2018 addressing it:
I would first suggest improving your monitor situation.
I often find myself in a situation where there is a single application that I want to focus on (be it the terminal, a document, etc.) with some reference material (browser, other document, etc.) that I need. The ability to have even these two windows visible, together, without needing to alt-tab between them has been a big win.
