Mastodon. Privacytools.io instance when it still existed.



GrapheneOS on a pixel 4 here. Works great. Most apps from fdroid


Man, this drama keeps on going. Just when I thought it was dead. Funny thing is, I’m only on Lemmy because I found mastodon on privacytools site.


Any old gopher users care to share their earliest experiences?
I've been delving into Gemini protocol and gopher quite a bit lately and came across a good historical dig about gopher by ~szczezuja and wanted to find more. Love to hear what it was used for and the community it had, especially in the 90s. I feel the community is different these days. Source on gopher: gopher://sdf.org:70/1/users/szczezuja/novice

This is from 2020, I might have to look into whether they abandoned it in favor of ungoogled chromium


Well done. +1 for posting on Gemini


I like Njalla. Pay with crypto, and privacy respecting.


As my first distro back in the 90s, Slackware has a special place in my heart. Glad to see it’s still being developed, and that the website hasn’t changed in >20 years


I ended up going with njalla. Quite simple and they take crypto. For the record they do offer Dynamic DNS.



I just mean they are trustworthy with my info and aren’t difficult to deal with


Thanks for the insight! I’m interested in how sr.ht turns out.


Privacy respecting domain registrar / host?
I did a quick Lemmy search and didn't find much. Are there any suggested domain registrars that aren't evil? I'm mostly looking for domain name and not hosting right now but won't exclude them. This would be my first domain so I'm new. I saw njalla, banhof, and 1984 web hosting. Are these good, or any other suggestions? Edit: DDNS would be a plus

I think there’s a direct apk. That’s where I got it



Thanks for the insight! No offline messages is a big drawback, however aTox from Fdroid seems to have the service running all the time unless you kill it. Battery drain aside I think this could help. No multi device support is a big one though.

Yeah Gemini is cool. Big gopher hole right now for me.


So besides the management you’re saying the software itself could be viable?


I've seen a lot of talk about privacy minded chat clients on here but a search did not bring up Tox. I have been delving into the Gemini protocol ( https://gemini.circumlunar.space/) and a few folks there have listed Tox for contact. Anyone have thoughts on this? It's encrypted, peer to peer, FOSS, and requires no signup.

I shouldn’t have to do this, plus google says other services may require different naming scheme.
