I switched from Google Authenticator to Ente Auth recently and am very, very happy. It works great.

I haven't tried their other apps yet, though. I intend to take a look at their images app.

    My answer to this is to use a custom domain with an email aliasing service.

    I've gone through about half of the 400 accounts in my password manager and moved them over. I'll migrate the rest over the next week or so.

    So, I'm switching from Gmail to Proton for now, but if Proton starts to get worse or Tuta catches up on functionality or there's a better provider that emerges or I decide to try to self-host, it's one easy change at the alias provider to redirect all of my mail to a new email provider.

    I like your logic here. Torrent index -> alternative platforms -> YT proper.

    Assuming the torrent index becomes decentralized, there are really two categories where it makes sense to build this in:

    1. The YouTube frontends, as you mention

    2. The self-hosted downloaders that already exist, like Tube Archivist

    I think the second category is where you get all the seeding traction. Sure, it would be great if the Android frontends also participate, but there are thousands of NAS devices that are already downloading YouTube videos for a single user. If there was an addon that allowed all of these users to share content automatically, I think there would be a lot of buy in / seeding.

    I'm looking to use the T-Mobile DIGITS app over a VPN, preferably using WireGuard.

    It appears that t-mobile.com and DIGITS are unreachable via Mullvad and Proton but, bizarrely, work completely fine via ExpressVPN.

    Sadly, ExpressVPN does not support WireGuard.

    Does anyone know of a VPN provider, other than ExpressVPN that is not blocked by T-Mobile?

     

    I just started my de-googling journey recently, and so the mechanics of notifications were still unclear to me, and I found this video super helpful.

    It explains how most mobile messaging apps (including privacy-focused ones like Signal) rely on Google and Apple's centralized servers to deliver push notifications, which exposes vast amounts of user metadata.
