it is still a great list so thanks for getting it back up 👍

but i have a few questions: is there a reason (or privacy concern) why Linux Mint isn’t one of the recommended distros? and am I wrong or isn’t bitward a good privacy friendly password-manager?

oh ok. yeah i did some testing yesterday and it already pissed me off, that it asks you to register your instance… and so I swicthed to snikket :D

ok but if I’d recommend a client to the people I want to text with via xmpp I can be certain which client they use. My idea isnt to write with strangers but only with real people I know (friends and family).

I would love to do the same (although not the hardcore step with arch :D) but how would I game and also isn’t the support for drivers sometimes really iffy?

i already bookmarked the list, great work btw. I will look into the options you wrote.

you are correct and it is true that it is better to have many options. Although it is a little iffy that still many people belive in the fact, that it is private and secure.

Also I totally agree on what you are saying: dont push people into something they dont want simply explain the possible downsides and move on.

I’d still wouldn’ t use it so communicating with me is will still not be done via Telegramm :D

nice page but I guess useless when a cookie-concent-thingy pops up.

sorry :) A DreamMaschine is the Firewall from Ubiquity :)

well the thing is, that after reading more into all the option, people gave here, I tougth the same thing. I am basicly only hiding my traffic from my ISP and move the information to another entity 🤷‍♂️ For work this might not make that much sense. All I do there is listen to music and check my back-account so nothing my comoany doesnt already know :D

and at home (after planing my threat model) a VPN does not really make that much sense, since I already use stuff like PiHole and Unbound for my whole network.

but thx for your input, it really made things clearer.

makes sense :) well I guess I am going to join your newsletter anyway to stay in the loop :)

wow, that look really promising. altough I read, that you are making only your clients open-source. wouldn’t it be better to have also the server-side open-source?

oh ok, good to know. are you using the paid service or free?

well mainly to route my traffic trough from my DreamMachine and for when I’m @work on the wifi
