I am using Android until I can find an alternative

You mean you're considering something like PostmarketOS? Just wonder where people are looking for alternatives.

I don't think they would at least because the share of people who can use it is not that large. Where I am, only one carrier out of the big four has it, and only Samsung phones support it (Google as well, but they're not officially sold so not quite as popular).

A blurred house in a row of unblurred ones would attract more attention.

I assumed that when it comes to SMS 2FA, simswapping is a threat much bigger than interception of the contents...

XMPP is very much a valid option nowadays too! Much easier and lighter to host than Matrix, too. I use it with my mom - Conversations is just as easy to use as Whatsapp, and maybe more pleasant.

It seems like where I live, RCS is not supported on all carriers (not on mine) - but most importantly, not on all phones. The one carrier that has it says it only works on certain Samsungs (I guess also Google Pixel, but they are not officially sold, even if not unpopular). So even though they're not paid separately like SMS, I don't think anyone would be switching to it from Whatsapp or Telegram.

I had some! It's the rescue services warning you that the ice is starting to break and you shouldn't walk on it.

I wonder: would the 1GB Raspberry Pi 3 be okay for this? The more powerful ones are very expensive, $60 is already kind of a lot, so would hope maybe it could work for 1080p video (or 720p m3u streams)?

Edit: have tried by now, and it is indeed just enough for my needs.

Yeah, I am very much aware of this. However, I prefer not to trust the encryption that happens on their servers instead of my client, so I'd consider the non-e2e mail as fully open. As for bridge - indeed it solves the problem, but it's exclusive to paid plans, which is not what I had experience with.

I mean depends on your location. Chances are it is fine for you.

I mean of course you can use mail and other services - but you'd need another VPN/proxy, which is what we're used to. But I only wanted the VPN, and that is indeed unusable

Blocked by the government I mean. Inaccessible. Somene I know tried Stealth and it doesn't seem to work either, at least on the free tier.
