Ask HN: Why can't I host my own email
nostr (https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr) seems to be a minimal possible solution. It doesn't seem to be much in use though, so I guess once that happens a few issues will come up.

Facebook to allow calls for violence against Putin
Nostr [1] seems interesting. I don't trust the idea of "relays" on the long term but it seems like it should be possible to develop alternative ways to distribute the content, and it can be a way to bootstrap the network in the short term. Though at this moment it seems a bit too bare-bones, and it would need some interesting application built on top of it to make it usable.

Towards a Greater Federated Architecture: What does a next-gen Fediverse platform look like? How features might help the network move forward?
https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr comes to mind as so far the best example of p2p social networking.

- /u/Mark_Bear reddit account suspended. What happened? He was one of the most frequent commenters on this subreddit and seemed to know what he was talking about regarding Bitcoin.

Ask HN: Getting Started with Web3 Development
I don’t know if this is the answer you’re looking for because it’s not tied to a cryptocurrency but take a look at nostr: https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr
It’s a protocol that allows nodes to gossip event messages amongst each other. The event relays can be used as a backend to provide data to your web/desktop/mobile apps.

The Nostr Protocol - NIP01
Nostr stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays". It is a new type of social experience on the web where "dumb" relays can be used to send messages from one user to another, in a secure, censorship resistant manner.

Mozilla names new CEO as it pivots to data privacy
That isn't alarmist, but almost all privacy features in Brave are already in Firefox as well. Looking at this page:
- Chromium customizations: Not necessary in Firefox
- Client-side encryption for Brave Sync: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-firefox-sync-keeps-...
- DeAMPing: I think AMP has been dead for a few years now
- Limiting network server calls: I think this is a bit tangential to privacy, limiting calls is generally good but it doesn't mean you're transmitting less information. Brave's post comparing different browsers' first startup network calls is from 2019, not sure how Firefox performs today.
- Query parameter filtering: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/a...
- Better partitioning for better privacy: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Privacy/State_P...
- Referrer policy improvements: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/03/22/firefox-87-trim...
- Fine grained / temporary permissions API: This is nice, I don't think Firefox has this.
- Social media blocking: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-prote...
- Bounce tracking protections: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2020/08/04/firefox-79-incl...
- Limiting the life of Javascript: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-rolls-o.... Not explicitly mentioned but I believe Firefox does have this 7 day limit as well, in addition to other protections.
- Private windows with Tor: Firefox doesn't have built-in Tor integration, but the actual Tor Browser is built from Firefox.
I think Firefox also has one or two features that Brave does not, like Multi-Account Containers, and some paid services like https://relay.firefox.com/.

Mozilla Monitor Plus: automatically remove your personal info from data brokers
> In a sense, it sounds like the advice of the services is less subscribing to them than trying not to have a few e-mails that map to your personal identity.
Firefox Relay is a great way to do that :) https://relay.firefox.com
Integrating that with Monitor is pretty high on at least my personal wish list.

Ask HN: How can we help Firefox not to dissapear?
> In what ways has mozilla meaningfully dared to try and expand their revenue streams?
I think that Mozilla VPN is pretty nice. It's based on Mullvad VPN, so they seem to know their audience (given that Mullvad has a pretty okay reputation among many tech savvy or privacy conscious folks, a lot of which probably use something like Firefox as well): https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/vpn/
I guess there's also Firefox Relay, for those who might benefit from something like that: https://relay.firefox.com/
Not many other products to give them money for come to mind, though.

Ask HN: Streaming Player Replacement for Roku?
I've been dragging around a similar concern. My solution might be to use Mozilla's Relay for the email and Privacy.com for the credit card.
https://relay.firefox.com/
https://privacy.com/
That won't stop the data collection but it should mitigate how useful it is. Maybe?
