i wish people would stop viewing this guy as someone who is a guru extreme online privacy.

Bazzell is good at one thing primarily, and that is Real Life privacy/hiding, when one's adversaries on nongovernmental. that is his specialty and what he should be respected for.

Bazzell is not a huge expert in thwarting mass surveillance or thwarting nation-state adversaries in technology. otherwise he wouldnt be giving recommendations that involve closed sourced software or cloudflare lol.

He is a practical guy and knows enough to keep his clientele's privacy for the types of adversaries he is accustomed to going up against (not nation state or federal gov)

there are people on Monero Market who will do it for you. SMS pool and Text Verified are also viable.

you can rent numbers as well for a period of time, iirc

i don't have any info for you but please do this, this is the kind of thing we NEED, on an even larger scale. If you succeed, you should make a post about it.

For alternatives, I recommend to use a community-ran Gitea instance. Project Segfault runs one.

Also check out Forgejo, it's another git software. Disroot has an instance.

Correct. The snakes at the top play both sides against the middle, and while everyone is distracted by the puppet show, they do whatever they choose. Classic high level deception. Divide and conquer. Sadly most privacy bros don't understand basic psy-ops and the art of war and deception.

All of the suggestions here are good but I would not put too much stock in where you get your DNS from if your reasons are for privacy. If anything, using anything beyond your ISP's DNS could decrease your privacy, because now you are giving info to 2 providers (DNS and ISP)

No matter what DNS server you use, your ISP can see every single IP you connect to and doing reverse lookups is extremely trivial for them of course.

My advice is to use a good VPN provider. Any reputable one will also provide its own DNS servers as well.

That's kind of funny, to be honest

Really appreciate your thoughts and time, thanks.

I found out also that Tutanota is essentially the same, except that they do E2EE subject lines between tutanota users, but I am guessing that is because they don't use PGP unlike Proton. In which case, Proton is in the right in this case because they are increasing E2EE interoperability beyond just their own users. So, my comment about honeypotting was really uncalled for I think, and I apologize for that.

The OpenPGP proposal is interesting, but I couldn't find anything on it. All I found was this below, which explains that email headers can't be/aren't encrypted, and subject is one of those, so that's why. I have no clue what Proton was talking about, or where they got that info

when it comes to server-side software, FOSS is of little importance unless you are self hosting. there is zero way for you to verify, unlike client software.

end to end encrypted file sharing server, Send: https://github.com/timvisee/send-instances/

jitsi conference room server, or matrix chat server.

you could run an Oxen node for the Session onion messenger, or a relay for the SimpleX messenger. these are especially important things we need to reduce decentralized messenger dependence.
