[liberationtech] Could you help our lonely 98-year-old WW2 vet neighbor regain access to his Yahoo email?

This appears exemplary to my inexperienced first glance.

This shouldn't be hard to do if you have some systems experience.  You
install Tor and I2P daemon services on the server and follow the
instructions for each for configuring a user network service ("hidden
service" for tor, "eepsite" for i2p).  I don't expect this to be more than
a day's work, although there might be a delay if you run into a hitch and
need to wait for a reply from someone for help.  I am not experienced with
administrating high traffic servers to know the kinds of concerns involved,
though.

Judging by your exhaustive reply on this list, I'm guessing you might have
the capacity to make a final tweet explaining that twitter is no longer
updated and directing twitter users to your mailing list.  This could help
people who make use of twitter find your important active service.

I wouldn't prioritize that concern right now, unless you expect tor users
to find your service via your personal website.

This service looks like such an important part of building avenues of
safety for technologically minded human rights dissidents, in this era of
mobile phones.

It would likely be helpful if payment via cryptocurrency were accepted some
day.
