Buying a domain. There might be some free services that, similar to DuckDNS in the beginning, work reliably for now. But IMHO they are not worth the potential headaches.

DuckDNS pretty often has problems and fails to propagate properly. It’s not very good, especially with frequent IP changes.

Random guy with no affiliation to crypto and only a vague understanding of monero from another instance here, who saw the post on /all.

Most people stumbling over posts like this probably see yet another shady cryptocurrency and aren’t interested or even actively dislike it, resulting in downvotes. Calling people “grudgeful bitfags” and “overly-sensitive leftist fediverse dwellers” probably doesn’t help all that much either, neither do comments that attribute a general disinterest to a “very successful psyop by the CIA to make crypto look like a scam”.

Why do you keep stating blatantly false info as facts when it is obvious that you’re knowledge of the topic at hand is superficial at best?

In this comment thread alone you’ve stated that:

• to avoid “Google Android”, one should use Lineage OS (?)
• Apps on Lineage are some kind of separated on Lineage OS and not abandonware (??)
• Lineage OS is not terrible for security, because you haven’t found anything wrong with it besides that small little, insignificant detail of an unlocked bootloader (???)
• DivestOS has “all the same issues” as GrapheneOS(???)

Genuinely not trying to stir up shit, I’m curious. Why?

It’s great that it works for you and that you strive to spread your knowledge. Personally, I’m quite happy with my DNS filtering/uBlock Origin and restrictive browser approach and already employ alternatives where feasible in my custom use case.

Thanks for your offer, though!

15-20 years ago, I’d have agreed with you. But apart from a select few news sites and exceedingly rare static sites, what percentage of websites most users use day to day actually function even minimally without JavaScript?

I’m convinced that in practice, most users would be conditioned to whitelist pretty much every site they visit due to all the breakage. Still a privacy and security improvement, but a massive one? I’m not sure.

Very happy to be convinced otherwise.

if you’ve flown for 12 hours with all that entails to go to the US (for a reason) and are presented with the choice of unlocking your phone or be denied entry, you will cooperate. Especially if you moved all your sensitive info beforehand.

Only do that if you know how to properly secure your server and your (V)LAN, if you host from your residential connection (and your ISP supports it).

It’s a very nice feature of a pretty polished frontend I haven’t heard of before, I’ll be sure to try it out!

Ah, so the “100% private” part is purely the recommendation engine.
