Want to move from US-based apps and services to Europe-based ones?

@metin for chat app: #DeltaChat https://delta.chat

it is an encrypted, private, decentralized, multi-platform #chat app, with good multi-device and multi-profile support

with it you don't depend on a single server, all your data, chats and contacts live in your pocket, e2e encrypted, without depending on a particular server, you can easily migrate from server to server without losing any chat or groups!

it also has #offlineFirst in-chat mini-games and tools!

@diogop @metin this is amazing… you’ve basically done all the things I’ve been plotting… only difference is that I wanted to totally self-host rather than any cloud, and my biggest hesitation was figuring out how to deal with the crawlers. Read about Anubis the other day and thought that would be a start. You give me hope!

@macbraughton @metin For now, I have my old laptop hosting my Gitea, which is connected to the VPS through a WireGuard VPN tunnel, because I can't expose services over the Internet from home since I'm behind a CG-NAT.

I used to use cloudflared, which was a Cloudflare tunnel to expose private resources. The problem is that I find it very invasive to use cloudflared as a reverse proxy and pass everything through the Cloudflare network.

You can check the status of my setup here: https://status.diogop.eu/

I'm concerned about European laws on digital ID, age verification, hate speech, and free speech. I wish there was SOMEWHERE that protected all those things but wasn't owned by a billionaire or a fascist corporation!

@metin @john the fact remain, Google don't harm you is not a valid reason when the post talk about going to EU.

So this open list i cannot access it because i will not open a google app even in a private browser or vpn.

In fact it will not even load as i have blocked all google domain on my network.

@diogop @metin if you move gitea to forgejo, you obtain the possibility to update it with codeberg (where they are).

So you have a git from germany, their update are hosted on german server (of codeberg).

@adbenitez @metin you wrote a message about the fact that you use #deltachat for much more than messaging using webxdc mini apps

I think more should be written about workflows like that.

@lexinova @john That’s fine, you don’t need to use the Google Docs link in my post. It’s just one of the many links I’ve provided.

I just tested it, and I didn't like the ping compared to quad9.

joindns4.eu = 400 - 700 ms
Quad9.net = 100 - 200 ms

I use Quad9 because it has servers spread across Europe, does not store logs, and is transparent.

Quad9 locations: https://quad9.net/service/locations/

The ping was tested with: https://dnscheck.tools/

@metin @lexinova sorry... you tried to do something nice lol...it's hard balancing activism against practicality...
I'm a google hater too but thanks for trying

@diogop
Nice, I'll add this to my list. Thanks!
