Gitea looks good. What lets them a bit down imho is that they are using Cloudflare.

I'd say it depends what "best" means. There is Codeberg, Gitea, Gitlab and others. Last year or so they started Radicle (http://radicle.xyz) which is decentralized, but I don't know how far they are.

There are very good Github alternatives.

I thought the same. It would also be interesting to know the environmental harm caused by GAFAM et al.'s server farms harvesting the world's data for the benefit of just a few.

The site https://women-in-tech.org may also be interesting.

It's definitely time for Searx MetaSearch or projects like https://yacy.net/

There are plenty of fictional currencies if it's this what you look for, though mostly not crypto. Just search for "fictional currencies" or "currencies science fiction" or so. I agree, however, with mekhos' answer if I may say so -:))

It would help if we knew what your use case is. What do you do with phone? Do you depend on some special apps for messaging or something? It may also be valuable to know where you're located? US? Europe? Asia?

Just read the BBC article, see the link I postex above. The US government was directly involved when they started Cloudflare. Cloudflare's CEO leaves no doubt about that.

There is a BBC article on Cloudflare's beginnings, saying, ". ..when he (Cloudflare's CEO Matthew Prince, ed.) got an unexpected phone call from the US Department of Homeland Security asking him about the information he had gathered on attacks.

Mr Prince recalls: "They said 'do you have any idea how valuable the data you have is? Is there any way you would sell us that data." "

(see https://47a824e91bd781c66916f216129b096363daefb2-m.eu-proxy.startpage.com/npd/dcc/xxx/ST/m54xdoDgc5nRTxiNsIgZF4aWuw//////////news/business-37348016)

Cloudflare blocks Tor by default. Technically it is a man in the middle (which is VERY unfriendly to say the least). It decrypts your data. It is a big step towards the centralization of the web.

Will it also be available on f-droid or the like, or maybe as direct apk download?

[–] tardigrada@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

In addition to all the good recommendations, what's about Tor browser for both desktop and mobile? Browsers aside, for mobile I'd also suggest using Orbot and maybe also NetGuard from f-droid.
