Lmao

it’s really sad that we’ve come to asking questions like this.

I suggest getting RSS feeds from your subscriptions from Invidious. This way you won’t directly connect to Google’s servers.

Why is it useless for YouTube?

Use their SOCKS5 proxy. Haven,'t encountered any issues on Freetube since then.

There’s also Migadu which I currently use. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that providers like Proton and Tuta have with their E2EE but they don’t use any shady marketing or track you. Requires a custom domain though.

I recommend switching to a custom domain in the future so you can avoid situations like this from happening again, this way you won’t be locked down onto a single provider.

They have a large following on Mastodon so this doesn’t really make much sense. I’m inclined to believe that they left due to the hate they were getting because of the recent controversy.

Migadu

+1 for Migadu. Their basic plan (more than enough for most people) is extremely cheap. No vendor lock in. And their support team is by far, the best I’ve encountered.

If you’re using a custom domain, don’t use Mailbox.org, see below:

Codeberg for public repositories, cgit (if that even counts) on my own server for private ones

I personally use Claws Mail.

Speaking of which, Debian users, how safe are distribution upgrades?

I know. And that’s reasonable of course. I’m sure most of us would agree that proprietary blobs are bad. I’m optimistic that firmware will become more open in the future though.

That’s true. I didn’t think about that. Thank you. :)

Sidenote: If you just want a nice web frontend for others to view your Git repositories, you can use cgit instead.

I’m not a fan of GrapheneOS, but the point they bring up here is valid. There is already proprietary firmware on your computer. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t be updating it to protect yourself from serious exploits. The FSF takes an ideological stance rather than a practical one, unfortunately.

Go to the police immediately!

I think the reason C++ is at the top is because of QT though.

I like C++. :)
