Pedes, if you are using any web-based platforms like Gmail, Hotmail, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, etc., someone is watching every word you write, every video you make. Going forward, pedes need to communicate privately and the way is distributed, decentralized, and cheap.

Take any small Linux-based computer. A Raspberry Pi as cheap as $5 will work, though one with an ethernet connection (Model 1B+ and later) makes it easier. Install your favorite version of Linux (I use Raspbian). Install Postfix (the server), Dovecot (the receiving server), and Roundcube. (Roundcube is what you log into to see your e-mail, like Gmail.) All this software is free and open source. Add your own domain and security signature. Now you can send encrypted e-mails to anyone from your own tiny server, using zero outside infrastructure and leaving zero breadcrumbs. If they receive them on their own Raspberry or other computer from behind a firewall, there is zero chance of anyone seeing it but them. All anyone will see is gibberish if they intercept it.

In fact, it occurs to me that us techpedes should come together to create a premade PedeCommunicator based on this. Plug it in, log in, you're set. We can integrate a messaging service like any of the chat functions too.

EDIT: I did not make this explicit in OP, but this sets up a private e-mail server on your own home network. You can either use the Pi directly, or log into it from any of your other devices using a very familiar [internal] web-based interface. It looks and feels just like logging into any normal e-mail website. So you don't need to be an expert in Linux to use this. Set it up in a corner with a battery backup and just forget it. Linux computers don't need to be rebooted or constantly updated with security patches.
