Ah yes, I am using gpg-agent with my Yubikey - decryption would be tiresome without. Well, org-agenda at least seems to support it through Emacs lower-level functions. Search is a bit more complicated, but should be well possible through ho

Emacs can use GPG to encrypt files at rest pretty transparently. Just save a files with the extension `.org.gpg` and it should get encrypted automatically with Spacemacs (I personally use https://github.com/hlissner/doo

While I personally dislike to see an App Store coming from the Modi government, I wonder if there's at least some virtue to the idea of publicly funded App Stores e.g. in the European Union. Of course there's a risk of easier dist

Depends on your definition of "safe", but there's an official Onion service for Facebook for example: http://facebookcorewwwi.onion

Exit nodes aren't used if one connects to an onion service. And for all we know, the NSA snoops traffic at all major internet exchanges, so tor exit nodes might get extra attention, but so do e.g. people who's search history sugge

Most slowness comes from exit nodes which you don't need to access onion services. There're also single-hop onion services, which should be a bit faster while sacrificing server anonymity if i understand correctly

That's a good suggestion as well. If the plan is to run this instance as a non-profit for local users, it might also be possible to ask local ISPs to sponsor a box. That could help keeping traffic local and latencies low.

I am by no means an expert on that topic, but I would assume that while a big cloud instance could go far with regards to CPU and memory, network bandwidth/traffic could quickly become an issue with several 1000 users. Depending on the

Depends on the instance I guess, but a few dozen users on a cx21 seem to be no trouble at all. As someone else already mentioned in this thread, Jitsi does no transcoding server-side and is pretty low on resources.

Yess, "sane" is context-specific, but it's useful to err on the side of more security and less performance, rather than the other way round.

I think those countries stance against liberal ideas like gender equality, lgbt right and so on as well as a rather authoritarian form of government at least in Russia and Hungary might make western European fascists a bit jealous as well.
