What client app are you using for Matrix? I really love the idea of switching over to it, or something similar, after Discord's IPO. We tried Revolt, which is now apparently called Stoat Chat, but the 2 killer features with Discord are its screen sharing & noise cancelling. Some of the screen sharing "extras" I could do without, but using Element we found that background noise cancelling is awful. You can hear every seat readjustment, things in other rooms in the person's background, loud breathing, people eating...it's awful.

I mean to ask a genuine, good faith question here, because I don't know much about Huawei's development team.

My head goes to the xz attack when I hear that Intel decided to stop supporting an open source tool, and a Chinese company known to sell backdoored equipment "steps in" to continue development, and it makes me suspicious & concerned.

This is to say nothing of the quality of the software they write or its functionality, they may be "good stewards" of it, but does it seem paranoid to be unsure of that arrangement?

This is a perfect summation of one of the stupider internet theories I've read, thanks for the laugh

That's a good point about phone VPNs! It feels like this would be counter to someone's recommended best practice, but now I'm curious and might try this on my own :)

I don't think that's a good idea, it should be a separate, ideally hardwired device (or VM on a host with an Ethernet connection).

But I wonder if you could run the PiHole (or Technitium, or AdGuard Home, etc) in a container with Podman or Compose, and set your DNS to 127.0.0.1? I feel like that would create some kind of feedback loop.
