Let me start:

Lenovo Thinkpad W520 ("feynman")
- CPU: Intel Core i7-2620M
- RAM: 8GiB DDR3
- Storage: 240GB ADATA SU630 (SATA)
- Host OS: Vanilla OS 2.0 Orchid
- Container runtime: Podman with Quadlets
- Containers:
  - Jellyfin
  - speedtest-tracker
  - qBittorent
  - Librespeed
  - Uptime Kuma

Any recommendations (software preferably)?

I'm not sure you're asking a question.

Software for what? Does this setup do what you need? Leave it alone if so.
- Like what are the essentials you have that are very handy in any situation
  
  Why even worry about that? Solve for things you need solved for. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing for their own reasons. You'll drive yourself crazy.
  
  These are tools, not a lifestyle. Don't let anyone tell you any different.
Get a better CPU?
- I mean, this is correct.
  
  But this is a laptop. Probably just had laying around
  
  They asked for recommendations...
If you're using qbittorrent, looking into Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr. And maybe even jellyseerr and recyclarr if you want to get into it.
Actual budget, grist, lubelogger (if you own a vehicle). Maybe fittrackee if you do sports.

And silverbullet, indeed radicale to get rid of google contacts and calendar.

And stirlingpdf is also great...
- I read about silverbullet a few times now. What is your experience with it? It looks very nice but I switch note taking apps so often I don't have time to use any of them properly.
  
  Its nice and pretty nerdy. As web based nmarkdown editor in pretty good and the extra features rocks.
  
  It has a few quirks I don't like though, on the self-hosted side:
  
  no multi-user support.
  
  auth is quirky and required a ticket to make it work at all
  
  must be deployed on subdomain, which make it impossible to host multiple instances for multiple users easily
  
  But from functionality point of view, I love it
There was a really good discussion recently which will give you some ideas - see https://piefed.social/post/436507?sort=top
