can someone explain what this website whats to proof? Why would I upload my private images to some website? would that be as stupid as using google photo in the first place?

How ist Monero a scam?

snikket looks really nice. i tried ejabberd but failed setting it up 🙈🙈🙈 but snikket looks promising.

good points altough the number is note saved. the hash of the phonenumber is hashed so Signal could not hand out your number, just the hash.

I am asking because I want to understand the "hype" about XMPP that and why it is always mentioned when someone is asking for a good privacy friendly messenger :)

kinda funny to recommend Google Keep inside a privacy-community :) but ok, everybody has their threat-modell i guess :D

wow, that look really promising. altough I read, that you are making only your clients open-source. wouldn't it be better to have also the server-side open-source?

Hardened Firefox on my PC and Waterfox on my phone. Reason: mostly because I have been using Firefox for a long time and I want to stay away from Chromioum-based browsers (but not out of privacy concerns :) ).

but why isnt it secure? if you know that the other person is using the same version of omemo it is secure. and if you are self-hosting it, meta-data is no issue either

hm I dont really agree on this. it is a swiss service (i think) but it is all closed source so that is a red-flag for me (if talking about privacy or transparency).

i know Signal and use it with a few friends but i am always on the adventure of trying out new ways of communication and that is why i was wandering if Rocket.Chat could be a good privacy messaging option :)

well I haven't really thought of a threat model jet (but I will do so now :) ). But in general I want a VPN, for when I am on the wifi @work and also to route my traffic through from my DreamMachine.

ok but if I'd recommend a client to the people I want to text with via xmpp I can be certain which client they use. My idea isnt to write with strangers but only with real people I know (friends and family).

makes sense :) well I guess I am going to join your newsletter anyway to stay in the loop :)

I would love to do the same (although not the hardcore step with arch :D) but how would I game and also isn't the support for drivers sometimes really iffy?

do you know theit reason?

i like to have temp-adresses but it is a little to annoying for me to extend them after 90 days 🙈 with proton this is easier since you dont need to remeber that and you can find this option pretty easy when in tge webbrowser of choice.

sorry :) A DreamMaschine is the Firewall from Ubiquity :)

well the thing is, that after reading more into all the option, people gave here, I tougth the same thing. I am basicly only hiding my traffic from my ISP and move the information to another entity 🤷‍♂️ For work this might not make that much sense. All I do there is listen to music and check my back-account so nothing my comoany doesnt already know :D

and at home (after planing my threat model) a VPN does not really make that much sense, since I already use stuff like PiHole and Unbound for my whole network.

but thx for your input, it really made things clearer.

thanks for the link. this looks really promising.

sad but not impossible 🙈
