Have a look at Snikket. https://neilzone.co.uk/2023/08/a-month-using-xmpp-using-snikket-for-every-call-and-chat For iOS Siskin works fine for calls afair. https://siskin.im/

IMHO Zulip is a great choice for text chat for teams for companies. In your case take a look at Movim, XMPP based, Movim can do blogs and more: https://movim.eu/

signal-cli software can do this without physical phone. https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/wiki/Linking-other-devices-(Provisioning)

👍 Readeck looks nice. https://readeck.org/

👏 Thanks.

If you do not want to (completely) self-host but do want freedom with your custom domain then Migadu is a superb choice, it’s like heaven/nirvana/paradise 🎇 for email admins 😀 https://migadu.com/

And you can technically still do some sort of part-time self host. The very difficult part of self-hosting email these days is the sending part (and the big and smaller tech bros rejecting your emails), not the receiving part. So if you want to learn, you can self host the receiving part, store your email at home or on some rented server and then use Migadu to send your emails out. Migadu has a feature called MX proxy which can be used for this part-time self hosting take.

Posteo, 1 Euro/month since many years. https://posteo.de/ Germany based, and you can even pay with cash. I noticed Proton does not allow email forwarding with the free plan. With Posteo you should be able to use pop3 (not possible with Proton free plan I think) and fetch your inbox content if you like.

Thanks. Requires root though. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dev.ukanth.ufirewall

Besides having a go at removing apps you can install NetGuard https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.faircode.netguard and then block all apps including system apps from using network. From there allow only the apps like Signal you want to give network access to. Drawback is that NetGuard needs an internal VPN connection to work so you can’t use a VPN services and NetGuard at the same time.

Friendica is an alternative for Facebook. https://friendi.ca/ There’s an Android app for it : https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.livefast.eattrash.raccoonforfriendica

Can you edit your post ? With subject with prefix [Solved]

With /e/os you will also have microG. And /e/os has a new installer which can make flashing much easier. https://doc.e.foundation/devices

Okay, being able to go into the recovery mode is a good thing I would say. Did you search on XDA forum ? For example : https://xdaforums.com/t/hard-brick-moto-g30.4397117 and https://xdaforums.com/t/bricked-motorola-g30.4716793 could be useful to read ?

Fastboot command only works in one mode, and adb in another mode. And if adb doesn’t do anything it could also be a temporary problem on the computer.

This is the /e/os page for your g30 : https://doc.e.foundation/devices/caprip/community Can you get into recovery mode ?

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).

/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.

Sorry to spoil the party, but Mull browser and Mullvad browser are two different beasts. Mull browser is for Android by the DivestOS person, and Mullvad browser is based on Tor browser by the Swedish Mullvad VPN company.
