Gitea and Forgejo are the way to go. Especially Forgejo which is working on federation just like Lemmy but for Forgejo repos and instances.

I guess they do not offer lifetime plans anymore. I remember a few years ago getting a domain under a lifetime plan.

I thought they were based in Switzerland.

epik offers lifetime plans for some domain names and is a Swiss company.

XMPP is more lightweight but way more clunky. I think Matrix is better since all the features are built in and is having more development, more users and more clients on multiple operating systems.

I always recommend multi-hop as it increases your privacy. And as long you choose the two servers to be nearby each other and not halfway across the world, you will not notice any difference in your connection.

Aliases are always recommended over your main email address.

You can have a few email addresses (1 protonmail for personal stuff, 1 protonmail for anonymous/private accounts, etc) and then have a alias account for your personal email and an alias account for your anonymous/private email, etc. This way if the alias service you use gets comprimised, it will not link your personal accounts to your private/anonymous accounts.

We need more people on lemmy from all different backgrounds to balance these debates out. Defederation may still occur, but the majority will not be a bunch of radical lefties.

As tankies would say “diversity is our strength!”, so lemmy needs more diversity of opinion.

I was coming from a mindset you were using your own laptop or buying your own laptop.

Say no to installing closed source software and say no to installing spyware. Simple as that.

I always used Xubuntu or Linux Mint Xfce. Both have access to the Ubuntu package repository and are easy to use and install.

But not for mobile, especially Android. I would like librewolf to maintain a hardened Android app with their own F-Droid repo.

True.

I wish someone can fork Brave on desktop and mobile and take out all the other stuff. And if someone could fork firefox for desktop and mobile and make it a hardened browser out of the box.

How is blendOS based?

And personally most distros will do since linux is secure over all. I like Linux Mint personally and is good for programming and generic use.

There are other public Jitsi Meet instances out there anyone can use without an account.

I found this new community that is about finding new jitsi meet instances. Good place to find other instances so far.

Anyone can share files using send.

Looks like an alternative to Send

I use Filen. Not sure if it works with large files however. Filen is E2EE.

I think you can self host firefox sync and brave sync.
