Re: [sudo-discuss] Re: Open letter petition to maintain IT infrastructure open for the people of Russia

The org i work with is hosting multiple services, including Delta Chat, on (currently 6) UA servers at https://dcomm.net.ua Please share with folks in UA, and feel welcome to use them yourself (you can use either an existing email account or create a new email for DeltaChat correspondences via our IMAP server). Feedback / contribs /PRs / forks welcome: https://github.com/censorship-no/dcomms - especially for the guides as this has been very rapidly evolving (if you speak UA or RU we especially need translators, as colleagues in UA and RU are under a lot of stress rn). Feel welcome to suggest additional services we might support (so long as they are open source, decentralized, audited, localized in UA and RU and e2e encrypted) Also DM me for an invite link to a VPN w/ RU endpoints, if you are in touch with people there. Important to have backup options as many popular VPNs are being rapidly blocked (colleagues say TOR main and public bridges are inaccessible, and ExpressVPN, Nord VPN, Opera VPN, Vypr VPN have been blocked). -jnny On 3/11/22 14:05, Karissa McKelvey via sudo-discuss wrote: > People are using Delta Chat right now in Ukraine as an alternative to > Signal which doesn't rely on phone numbers (which can be tracked) and > is e2ee with open source Rust internals -- https://delta.chat/ > > > On Fri, Mar 11, 2022 at 2:04 PM Autonomous via sudo-discuss > <sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org> wrote: >> DuckDuckGo is now running down-raking censoring algorithms.
