This is the first thing I have heard from her about what she’s working on since she had her “wings clipped”. Hope she is still doing good..

Revolt is kinda “centralized”. You can host your own version, but they seem to actively discourage you from doing so.

https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/blame/dev/LICENSE <-- that's ... a rather specific and recent change. Is there a story here ?

MoCA is a way to send wired Ethernet up to (300mb/s, at least the version i have) over coax. Verizon fios would provide these devices to send internet to set top boxes over existing coax cabling, but you can get a pair of these devices and send Ethernet in on one side, and Ethernet out the other side.

I have noticed however, it adds a bit of latency to the connection, which may be trouble.

Delta Chat just a clever chat interface over SMTP/IMAP, and thusly every user can use their own mail server for sending + receiving messages. Any encryption is between the end devices, and to cooperate, they'd have to produce a compromised build that leaks those keys.
