I have a good friend, for real, that is slowly going #blind. Is there a good plugin for #thunderbird
to read emails without involving a #bigCorp ?

New blogpost: Blocking searches and removing other people's toots: my Mastodon server and the Online Safety Act
My attempts at trying to close off some of the loopholes in my Mastodon server:
nginx configuration to limit access to the search tool, which can be used to essentially proxy content from other servers
