Haven't used this services but I keep seeing other people talking about it. From their FAQ : https://jmp.chat/faq

• Q4. How do I make a phone call with my JMP number?

The easiest way is to make a call from your Jabber app, if you are using a supporting app such as Cheogram Android, Conversations, Snikket, or Movim. Simply add a contact just as you would for messaging and then select the voice call option in your app.

• Q10. JMP currently only provides numbers in the USA and Canada. These numbers can make and receive both calls and messages with any country in the world.

https://jmp.chat/ could do this depending on where you live.

At the same time, Red Hat released the first version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1. The Army deployed Red Hat’s operating system in its Blue Force Tracker system, which lived in jeeps and tanks on the battlefield. Major General Nicholas Justice, the man responsible for Blue Force Tracker, said later:

“When we rolled into Baghdad, we did it using open source.”1

To this day, the U.S. Army remains one of Red Hat’s largest customers by volume. Red Hat was recently made part of the Army's Common Operating Environment, which is their enterprise standard.

Maybe this one ? https://www.pivpn.io/

Using your own domain is a great choice. You should however check whether your domain provider does auto extend the domain name for you, and if not, make sure your contact details are correct so you will get a reminder before the domain will expire after a year.

The other thing is that not all domain names are kind of equal. Some domain names have or had a bad name already when it comes to spam filters. For example IIRC the dot xyz domain names did have a bad name at some point, though maybe not anymore.

Also for serious emailing with companies for example my_name.lol may not be the best choice :-) Then there's the question where to host your email. For example mailbox.org and Tuta do support custom email domains.

Why not let that email get forwarded to another email account of yours ?

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).

Apart from dd you can also go for Clonezilla or Rescuezilla. Both not super user friendly but once you get familiar with it makes backups and restore easy and fast for data and boot-loader.

/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.

That one has posts from 2 months ago or older. After some searching I found another one which is recent, here's a post : https://lemmy.bestiver.se/post/88991

Here's on Mastodon : https://mastodon.social/@newsycombinator@framapiaf.org

And RSS feeds : https://hnrss.github.io/

Thing is that searx.be has been remarkably good for my use case since a long time. With other instances YMMV.

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.

👏 Fireworks! 🎆

Indeed. I tried on mobile with LibreTube and with Mull and both fail. And also fails now in Tor browser. The list is getting shorter.

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.

Works for me still (Using Tor browser. I'm Europe located).

The instances list is not up to date :

• List of instances : https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances But after trying maybe more than 10 of them I found one which manages to play a video :

https://piped.smnz.de/watch?v=bBhDWTZDH9c

There's probably more working instances.

Plan B : I guess running your own Piped instance and not sharing it with a lot of people could be worth considering.

Personally I'm sticking to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Yt-dlp#Faster_downloads for the video downloading I do.

Was about to post the great blog post from my bookmarks, but another commenter beat me to it (t y !). Here's comments on that blog post on Lobsters and HN :

Yes and no. Code development for Nitter has officially stopped afaik, but there are still some instances not completely dead.
