Cheap and cheerful 4G plugged into my Proxmox server, mapped to a secondary WAN interface for OPNsense.
I ain't gaming over it, but I will be connected.

As others have suggested, Amcrest and Reolink cameras are good for self-hosters. I like my Reolink PoE-powered cameras, and they pair well with my Frigate server running on a Raspberry Pi.
The Hook Up does decent, and frequent, review videos you might find useful.
The app lets the screen turn off. I have it plugged in to a smart power switch, and have the HA Android app installed.
This way, I can monitor the phone's battery level with HA and use automation to keep the battery charged between 40% and 80%.
I use an IP webcam app and run my old S10+ as a CCTV camera inside my garage, viewable in Home Assistant.
I have nothing helpful to say but being forced to listen to Logan Paul is a flavor of dystopia that even Orwell wasn’t cruel or mad enough to imagine.
Fucking. Gold. I'm in tears...
You a Paperless user too? ;)
I did go looking when I first got the phone (was a Samsung user for ~10 years before this) but I couldn't find anything immediately obvious.
Honestly, I'm not as annoyed by it as I was when I first got the phone. I have Tasker managing my connectivity 99% of the time, so I rarely have to use this toggle.
I feel your pain - "Daaaaad! My internet's on but I can't get to YouTube" - but I feel this one's a little less obvious than that. It's not always apparent whether a given feature is stock OS or vendor specific.
I'm on Android 13, on a Pixel 7 Pro, and I haven't seen this at all. I still have the combined internet toggle, for mobile data and wifi.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is how I do it. Haven't seen an in-app ad for a very long time.
Aside from not wanting to send any traffic their way, this is another reason I've excluded Reddit from my private search engine's results. Reddit's value has definitely diminished as a direct result of the protest against the API changes.
Honestly, the screen being on doesn't really worry me too much now, and I suspect an Android change in the past few releases has made it less reliable when the app tries to do it, because I'll occasionally walk by and see that it's on.
I've set the brightness all the way down and it sits up at ceiling height, on top of a wall-mounted network cabinet. I remote control it from my computer, using scrcpy (requires adb over TCP/IP).
