It might be a good choice for a digital nomad with a short-term horizon, but if you want to stay somewhere else for more than 183 days per year, you will be considered a tax resident in that country, making your Dubai Golden Visa worthless.

My conclusion about the Estonian E-Residency program is that it is essentially useless, unless you want to become an Estonian tax resident by physically relocating to Estonia. And there is a good reason why you would like to do that[1]: &gt

My key point was "unless there is a good reason not to". And in many cases there is a good reason not to use E2E encryption, like the example you have given. But in the case of Ntfy, E2E encryption would be a perfect fit, and elim

Private messaging is one of the primary use cases for E2E encryption in the entire tech industry.

E2E encryption happens on the client side, not on the server side. Therefore, no need to trust anybody, as long as the software is open-source.

Why couldn't the entire system be E2E encrypted by default, though? In 2022, that's my standard expectation from any service. Even such things as Pocket / Instapaper / Raindrop should come with E2E encryption by default.
