I always find this to be handy: https://learnxinyminutes.com/
It is useful as a cheat sheet.
In addition: if you have experience in multiple "imperative" language (read: non-functional / non-prolog / etc) it's easy to pick up another language using that site alone.

iOS supports DoH/DoT natively via work profile. Create one yourself here: https://dns.notjakob.com

Have you looked into https://github.com/slackhq/nebula? It uses X509 cert for auth.
Although for my home lab, using X509 is more of a minus than a plus due to complexity involved.

There's a similar site that shows towers and coverage around the world! And everyone can contribute data too! Sadly you can only contribute on Android but not iOS.

Yes, but if you goal is to hide your identity, this really wouldn't work. Everything is still tagged to your identity, i.e. @mydomain.com.

CloudFlare had a much more elegant solution: the Alt-Svc HTTP header [1]. It is entirely transparent to the user. Security is guaranteed because it uses the original SSL/TLS certificate for exchange (that is, on top of the usual safety guarantees provided by a Tor hidden service).
Sadly they stopped doing that a while ago [2]. If anyone has insider knowledge about the reason behind, I would be really interested to hear about it.

How about 802.1x? It's still safe and I can do many fancy networking tricks (VLAN, etc) with it. But it's not compatible with a lot of "IOT" stuff including Chromecast.

I don't think Tailscale's use of 100.x.x.x address space conforms with the RFC, but I don't think that there are any better alternatives out there. Do note though, once people start abusing the 100.x.x.x space, it will become "just another private IP space" and lost its significance:
RFC6598 requires that, when used as a routable address, the device must be able to do address translation across router interfaces when the addresses are identical on two different interfaces.

@Jorge - is there a way for me to build "relays" out of ESP32/RPi Zero?
@HN Crowd - is there something I could do to prepare for possible censorship? I was thinking of mesh Internet over the air, something like DN42 but over wireless links

As a Hongkonger, can I ask what's the best technology for:
1. Censorship-resistant chat: Something DHT-based preferrably, I am looking at Status.im right now
2. Mesh Internet over the air, something like DN42 but over wireless links
