I went travelling in the 90s, for a year. I spoke to my family once or twice on the phone while I was gone. One time at Christmas, when I knew someone would be home, and the 2nd time on a date we had agreed on before I left.

It was awesome to be unreachable.

    Opnxng hosts a number of public services focused on privacy by using opensource front ends for popular websites, including:

    • Medium
    • Threads
    • Github
    • IMDB
    • Stackoverflow
    • Tumblr
    • Quora
    • Fandom

    It also hosts tools like:

    • IT Tools
    • Etherpad
    • Privatebin
    • Send

    and a few lemmy frontends like mlmym, Photon, and Voyager.

    Edit: added a detail that they are not hosting the websites I listed, but rather open source and privacy respecting front ends for these websites.
