It’s just a really good product. I search for something and get the results I’m looking for. You don’t have to like it, but I like the product enough that I would take the time to recommend that others give it a go too.

Your threat model will determine whether spending extra on Njalla is worth it over simple Whois protection from your registrar.

My experience is that I tried to use it years ago and it didn’t work, so I continued using Signal. Straight up could not receive messages. That’s probably fixed now but if I wanted to move away, I’d try SimpleX instead.

They updated the YT plugin which doesn’t require a full apk update, only a plugin update.

I like GrayJay. It has a PeerTube plugin.

Cloudflare’s CAPTCHA is Turnstile. I’ve found it very useful. It doesn’t use pick the image or type the text, it’s just tick the box. You can even set it to invisible, then the user doesn’t need to even do that, the challenge is sent to the browser and is completed automatically.

In terms of privacy, it’s is still Cloudflare, but at least it’s not intrusive to the user experience.

Cloudflare’s Turnstile has an invisible mode that you’re probably using in a lot of places and aren’t aware of it. It provides an invisible challenge to the browser and requires no interaction. I would say no input require in quite user-friendly.

Yes, both SL and addy.io have the feature to enable/disable individual addresses.

They both will automatically create an address on-the-fly. Give a service whatever@domain.tld and it will automatically be generated and sent to your mailbox of choice.

First purchase a domain. Cloudflare is definitely the cheapest but there are other options out there if you don’t want to use Cloudflare.

Use an alias service like SimpleLogin or addy.io. addy.io has a cheaper ‘lite’ (limited) plan, SL has a cheaper ‘premium’ (unlimited) plan.

Or why I shouldn’t use Jellyfin over Emby.

Firefox is very good compared to a lot of available browsers on Android. I have a bug where I can still interact with the tab switcher when I am in the app switcher. This is so annoying so I’ve had to switch to Brave.

I highly recommend crDroid. It’s super customizable and has a good battery life / performance ratio.
