very few, and one has to try so many times... I gave up. I guess RSS feeds whenever possible. though that consumes disk if local, so I'm really reluctant...

Ohh, that's an android app. I use PC/laptop to check on subs... Thanks any ways !

That's so sad. So perhaps it's time to say goodbye to reddit frontends, :( I'd prefer to setup rss feeds, but even those are getting rate limited now a days.

Sadly, even with the movement to lemmy, several interesting technical subs are still strong on reddit. The thing with local feeds, is disk space, and self-host is something I can't do at the moment. At any rate, with the last libreddit front end down, I can't even easily get the subs I was locally subscribed to, :(

Oh well...

It depends on what you want. I encourage people to use Jami (distributed, so might be a thing, if not self-hosting your own service, since what is said decentralized in reality is a set of centralized services). If too hard, then XMPP + OMemo. And only then, Matrix (by design it gives up more meta data than XMPP).

1.- jami 2.- xmpp + omemo 3.- matrix 4.- signal

It's hard no one cares. Where I live everyone uses whatsapp, and unfortunately what comes closer, and still without enough users base is signal on my list, and it's the last. Jami is distributed, which makes it best in class, and there are good efforts trying to make it not to steal the whole battery, as opposed to briar. I which more people were interested on not using centralized stuff, not even what has been called lately decentralized, which means centralized but with several central points (only if everyone self hosts it would be decentralized, which is not the case). Currently I use Jami and signal, though I've tried all those, plus briar, plus tox, even telegram...

Perhaps @[email protected] could think of lemmy besides mastodon, hehe

searx and searxng are not search engines, and searx is more private (searxng collects info from users, which searx never wanted to). AFAIK duckduckgo is neither a search engine on its own, it uses blink...

are there archive pages for cgtn or other such domains? I'm not sure if because behind the office firewall, but I can't read the contents, just the titles, :( Perhaps both URLs, the original one, plus sort of an archive one...

ohh, so I can use any torrent client (rtorrent for example), as long as I only use i2p sort of trackers, or so I understand from your post, and also from the wiki, perhaps specifying the binding address and port, or something like that...

Sorry if way too OT, :( What torrent i2p client are you using? I don't like the idea of vuze with a plugin, neither biglybt. I'm more inclined to something like rtorrent (ncurses, and if used with detached screen, then on any ssh session you can remotely monitor, without needing additional remote accesses or web publishing)...
