At the same time, Red Hat released the first version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1. The Army deployed Red Hat’s operating system in its Blue Force Tracker system, which lived in jeeps and tanks on the battlefield. Major General Nicholas Justice, the man responsible for Blue Force Tracker, said later:
“When we rolled into Baghdad, we did it using open source.”1
To this day, the U.S. Army remains one of Red Hat’s largest customers by volume. Red Hat was recently made part of the Army’s Common Operating Environment, which is their enterprise standard.

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).
Apart from dd you can also go for Clonezilla or Rescuezilla. Both not super user friendly but once you get familiar with it makes backups and restore easy and fast for data and boot-loader.
“helped” is very misleading. Companies can’t refuse to provide information they have when served a search warrant / court order. These companies DID NOT choose to provide the info on their own.
You are suggesting all these companies are completely helpless against legal requests. That is not correct. A company should first make clear that the legal request is actually completely legitimate and correct. After that they can look at whether they should provide the information or not.

Insightful point. And it does remind me of the corporate purchase of the Don’t care about cookies extension for Firefox (And the Simple Mobile Tools for Android). Luckily it was forked. https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies Open source FTW!

When I first heard of Beeper I thought it was interesting. But reading later that they were buying really old iPhones to jail break them for bridging with iMessage I had some doubts. Now they’re bought by the Wordpress people, who also bought Tumblr, and apparently selling user data to AI.. And from what I’ve read about bridges there is no E2EE with Matrix (what Beeper seems to use) to Signal bridge.
Haven’t used this services but I keep seeing other people talking about it. From their FAQ : https://jmp.chat/faq
The easiest way is to make a call from your Jabber app, if you are using a supporting app such as Cheogram Android, Conversations, Snikket, or Movim. Simply add a contact just as you would for messaging and then select the voice call option in your app.
