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

11 Mar 2022

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).

  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/

  DuckDuckGo is now running down-raking censoring

 The End of DuckDuckGo

 And:
 DuckDuckGo Down-Ranks Sites Associated With "Russian Disinformation". The move
is in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. However, some users are complaining
the action goes against DuckDuckGo's goal of unbiased search results.

  Signal for Android is not entirely FOSS since all
official APKs include closed source Google dependencies including Firebase Cloud
Messaging, Maps, Authentication and Wallet/Payments.
 There's a fork of Signal for Android with proprietary Google binary blobs removed.
Uses OpenStreetMap for maps and a websocket server connection, instead of Google Maps and
Firebase Cloud Messaging.

run (it doesn’t use standard protocols, and the official servers are only available for
official builds), but it’s all public, GPL source code — you could compile and run your
own client/server if you wanted to.
