Signal had privacy problems?? Maybe using Google play notifications?

I’m not a fan of having my personal identity tied to it. last I checked signal still requires a phone number.

looks like I might have been wrong originally, but it looks like signal actually does fwd secrecy as well as post-quantum encryption.

keep in mind I’m replacing telegram. I have put off moving for some years but I have the itch to replace it now. simplex also has the closest feature-pairity to telegram out of all the messengers on that list.

also I’m building and hosting this for very nontechnical users. if they heard tor they’d think it was the “darknet”.

my goal is

• keep it secure
• keep it private
• keep it simple

this is great!

then again, this thing will be much closer to LEO than the moon, but it would probably still take billions of people to do it to have any impact.

🤷 guess we’re just going to need to work on surface to air anti-material projectiles.

signal has privacy problems.

xmpp/jabber/snikket have encryption and security problems.

from what I can see simplex has everything I need.

• selfhosted
• e2e encryption
• forward security
• routinely maintained
• does not require user IDs

My hesitation to using simplex is the selfhosting aspect of it. I’ve been researching the simplex protocol (SMP) and have been thinking out ways to develop a serverless version of it, that way you don’t get charged for something that’s not being used if you host it in the cloud.

anyway, just my 2¢.

I’ve been doing research on this and came down to two.

1. simplex
2. delta chat

simplex won because of the robust encryption and selfhosted option.

a close contender was stoneage. I liked all it took was an S3 bucket. I didn’t like that it hasn’t been updated in 3 years.

tech bros/hoes solving invented problems.

unrelated question. if you focus thousands of medium or low wattage lasers to a single point, will their wattage combine to equal that of a high powered laser?

many execs are either on, heavily influence, or will become a part of the board.

when killing a snake you can’t just cut off the head, you have to bury it as well.

I was reading at a college level in 5th grade.

it only provided the opportunity to wreck the smug sense of superiority of my teacher, whom berated me daily for being “difficult” and “undisciplined”.

guess I was unchallenged by your lackluster curriculum you dumb bitch.

I’ll never forget the look on her face when she saw my reading comprehension score came back a few points higher than her own. she even attempted to identify if I was cheating.

one can hope.

I used to think there was a way out of this peacefully.

Now I just want this whole thing to crash and burn fast enough so we can hunt down the billionaires and politicians then get back on track.

game over man!

Problem with dbzero is they don’t prune their own gardens, because why would they? that wouldn’t be very anarchist of them would it? the amount of ml/hexbear/programming.dev trolls on their instance makes dbzero seem similar to ml.

further lemmy.ca has the same problem but instead of communists it’s conservatives/maga. I wouldn’t doubt if Russian and Chinese troll farms weren’t using lemmy.ca accounts to fan the flames of descent between the rest of the world and the US.

sure. letting their shitty buttholes sit on my counter next to clean baby bottles is totally safe.

I’ve noticed over the last 6 years it’s becoming more difficult to order at drivethrus. not because I have changed, but because the kids working there have.

the kids working in that position these days were in or just entering Jr high when covid hit. they lost important years of social growth through almost their entire highschool career.

the future looks bleak.

I had a cat that refused any training. because they were a cat.

had to get rid of her because she was too much of a danger to have around with a newborn.
