    Riseup provides email accounts and mailing lists. Anyone can create a mailing list.

    But for an email account you will need to know a friend who can give you an invite code. Riseup is meant for activists though.

    Disroot is open for anyone to ask for an account.

    Don’t forget to donate to Disroot if you can : https://disroot.org/en/blog/disnews-24.12

    But here’s the challenge: we’re falling short of this year’s financial target. Even worse, we’re unable to support the open-source projects we rely on as much as we used to. While donations have increased since 2020, the number of supporters has stayed the same. To all of you loyal contributors, thank you — you’ve kept us going! 🙏

    However, we need more people to join. Small contributions make a big difference when more people chip in! If you value the services we provide and haven’t started supporting yet, now is the time to act. Together, we can sustain a real alternative to big tech services (where you are the product).

    /e/os is LineageOS + microG with an easy installer available or pre-installed purchase. The interface design is based on how iOS works, for example to move an icon on your phone long press one of the icons and wait till they all go wiggling and then drag the icon to where you want to have it.

    I think /e/os is okay for folks who want a deGoogled phone that comes pre-installed.

    In case anyone wants to try the /e/os easy installer on an old and supported phone, the /e/os easy install is really much more easy compared to plain LineageOS install.

    Ouch, that’s a nasty bug imho. Thanks to this wiki entry I’ve looked up the file librewolf.cfg in /var/lib/flatpak/ and changed :

    pref("network.trr.mode", 2);

    into

    pref("network.trr.mode", 5);

    and that seems to fix it for now (till a newer LibreWolf maybe overrides that file).

    The mentioned server side changes (e.g. A server move you mentioned but could also be server settings, provider settings, etc).

    I guess that is the case. According to https://searx.space/ the searx.be server is in Austria but might use some proxy to talk to Google and similar to avoid quick blocking. The maintainer of searx.be also maintains yewtu.be and that one uses proxies (The proxy names can be seen when blocking auto play of videos in Tor browser).

    Also getting results in Russian here since a few days. Usually it is either Swedish or Dutch. Never German.

    Now I’ve tried almost all of them in the Piped instances list (Several domain name for sale and server not found errors) and only the smnz.de one works for me. :( I am wondering whether a freshly installed self-hosted private Piped video instance will work fine.
