The ones used for English? Sure. When it comes to other languages I certainly don’t know all of them though.
Though, that is at least partially due to me learning English as a second language so I’ve looked at these a lot in dictionaries.

This is phonetic1 spelling. The only good one.
1 Actually phonemic. Don’t kill me

If Google is the only thing holding up the non-Apple web browsers, maybe then this will lead to scaling down the insane scope of the web standards so it becomes reasonable to implement and maintain a browser for non-megacorps.
Wishful thinking, but hey.
You don’t need a tunnel since your server is already accessible by the VPS over IPv6 (and you have to deal with changing prefix for the direct connection from other hosts already).
Yeah, hence why I said “pretty much”.
the NC is rarely available or only for a few seconds which screws my automatic backup of photos. This is annoying. I think it is because there are two conflicting routes to the NC, one via the internal IPv4 and the other over the publicly available IPv6.
Sounds unlikely tbh. A TCP connection is established for a specific target address which stays the same for the duration of that connection, and there is pretty much no interaction between IPv4 and IPv6 in the first place. Have you run Wireshaek? Is it the same problem from other clients in the network? Have you tried explicitly connecting to the IPv6 address and the IPv4 address to see if it’s a specific one that’s not working?
But it actually doesnt. Most public wifis or other residential networks dont seem to give me external access to my Nextcloud, ironically, my mobile network via phone does.
A lot of those networks are run by boomers who don’t care about IPv6 or don’t want to set it up because (insert excuse from IPv6 Bingo) or non-tech people whose router doesn’t turn it on automatically. So yeah, that is unfortunately something you have to expect and work around.
Problem 1 seems to be best solved with renting the cheapest VPS I can find and then...build a permanent SSH tunnel to it? Use the WireGuard VPN of my router? Some other kind of tunnel to expose a public IPv4? Iirc, VPS are billed by throughput, I am not sure if I might run into problems here, but the only people that use it are my gf and me, and when not at home, mostly for the CalDAV stuff.
You don’t even need a tunnel. Just a proxy on a VPS that runs on IPv4 and connects to the IPv6 upstream. Set the AAAA record to the real host and the A record to the VPS. Assuming you actually get a static prefix which you should, but some IPv4-brained ISPs don’t and you get a rotating prefix, in which case it’s probably more annoying.
I do this too, mine runs on a free Oracle Cloud ARM VPS.
I’ve been using Linux for maybe 8 years before getting a Mac and found it to be great to use pretty much immediately. So there’s not really much I can tell you here. Except maybe to install the GNU coreutils from homebrew (and that itself if you don’t have it yet), the ones it comes with suck.
I don’t think there is a way to download Xcode without an Apple ID. The App Store also needs one though you could get by without that. You could just make the account only for downloading Xcode and only sign in in the browser for it, I suppose.
Edit: Oh yeah, get Mac Mouse Fix if you plan on using it with a normal mouse. The standard scrolling behavior is abysmal.

Can confirm it is terrible. I bought a pack from Amazon and both of them have terrible DAC artifact noises. Should have gone with the Apple one.
The disks are the most uggo part. They’re a bunch of old disks of varying sizes with a RAID+LVM setup to make the most use of them while still being redundant.

Meeeeh, that sucks though compared to iCloud. I haven’t tried it but it seems like it will upload only and not download, and it will not store the entire Photos database (including faces, etc.).

Would be cool if this results in being able to store the Photos library in Nextcloud. Not holding my breath though.
Yes, it even uses BitTorrent to distribute videos.
Sounds like exactly the right way to talk about physical buttons to me.
Most computers with (at least) two network interfaces will do. If it's something too crappy your throughput will be limited by CPU speed but I can't tell you exact recommendations here. Here's OPNsense's hardware recommendations for example, they're not high at all. Off-the-shelf devices that allow you to do this should probably be fine too.
I'd put Linux on it and use nftables but BSD PF seems to be very popular for firewalls (OPNsense/pfSense are built on this) which I have never used so consider that too.
Not a professional networking guy either but here's my opinion.
What I would do is use the ISP router as is, open all ports on it (except to itself, hopefully it doesn't do that...), and put a firewall in between the router and everything else that controls the actual access to everything behind it (in bridge mode between the two network interfaces of the firewall, so you only have the one network).
Could a potential second router also assign addresses to devices in that globally routable space directly?
Devices in IPv6 assign addresses themselves via SLAAC, you just need one device advertising the prefix which the ISP router should already do. The firewall should be able to just purely be there for packet filtering. If you need fixed addresses for public facing servers I would just assign them manually to the respective boxes as you likely also need to add them to public DNS manually anyway.
