Use a tiling window manager like sway.
Get some big HDDs and self host your own file storage on zfs. Same for media servers like jellyfin. You can also host qBitTorrent web client so it's accessible from anywhere.
Set up a VM in Hetzner cloud and host vaultwarden.
Expose your services over wireguard.
I was not familiar with Hetzner Cloud until now. I have used VPS found in the $1 & $2 lists at lowendbox, as I am super-cheap.
Just be sure to keep local backups, in case the provider evaporates.
I'm a web dev and one "hack" I use all the time is bookmarklets. In Chrome @bookmarks let's you search your bookmarks, so I use this to fire off different scripts to do different things. Most are for debugging and the like. I have my hotkeys setup where ctrl + q puts focus on the omnibar so I can start typing, and then I use @books marks to search for whatever I need. A lot of the bookmarklets just append the current url to some other site like page speed insights or pure.md. I find this saves me a ton of time. Also the duplicate this tab hotkey, I use that all day every day.
Cutting and pasting a folder is faster than copying and pasting.
OS just gotta add an inode in first case.
My computer gets hacked all the time, I'm pretty used to it now.
Not most used, but I recently discovered a lot of new options in COSMIC's launcher, and I use them all the time.
Just type ? and you'll see what I mean.
Dunno if Emacs Lisp counts as a life hack, but I've been slowly learning it, and it's very nice to be able to setup custom workflows with such a high degree of customization (and a substantial amount of flycheck yelling at me)
