• rpgp: Pure Rust Implementation of OpenPGP

  I’ve read this response before, and I don’t think it’s great: it makes claims about time-testedness and simplicity that on first glance apply to PGP, but in reality are either outright wrong (the results against MDC instead of true AEAD are in, and it’s a fail) or misleading in their conclusions (a “simple” packet structure that encourages EXPTIME parsing is not actually simple). The assumption underlying much of... - Source: Hacker News / 25 days ago

• What are your thoughts/advice on a completely on-premise communication system?

  You could use delta chat https://delta.chat/en/ and a totally LAN only email server. Source: 5 months ago

• Add-on to change Thunderbird UI to be more like Spike "conversational email" client (?)

  And if neither of those blow your skirt up there's another project I recently heard of but haven't tried yet called Delta Chat. Not endorsing it as I haven't used it but came across it researching the current state of encrypted messengers. Does everything over email and makes your email look exactly like a chat. Has encryption if you set it up with your recipients and disappearing messages if the other person... Source: 5 months ago

• Bookwyrm – the federated social network for reading books

  > I don't think people fall back to SMTP when a chat product goes away, I think they find a new centralized proprietary chat product. ...after they told their "friends" (i.e. Other users of the failed app) via email about that hot new app that is totally going to be the place to be. That is what I mean with "SMTP abides", it is there and will be there while the centralised proprietary churn comes and goes. SMTP... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• WhatsApp forces Pegasus spyware maker to share its secret code

  Just so you know: https://grapheneos.org/ and https://signal.org/ do exist! - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• What are you shocked people are still doing nowadays?

  Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp. Source: 5 months ago

• A Practical Guide For Safety And Reporting Crimes For Our Community

  A question I often get is "Well are my text messages safe" The short answer is... Maybe? Depends on what type of phone you use, your carrier, and a bunch of other factors. One way to avoid this is to use an end-to-end encrypted text service like Signal if that is a concern of yours. VERY IMPORTANT NOTES: Telegram and WhatsApp are not secure. The way to think of this security is that if is retained by a server... Source: 5 months ago

• Signal Public Username Testing (Staging Environment)

  The linked page is on signalusers.org, but Signal's regular home site is https://signal.org/. I'm looking all over signal.org for some link from there to signalusers.org, as that would make me more relaxed about the authenticity of the latter -- i.e., that it really is run by the same people who run signal.org. Yes, maybe I'm being paranoid. But we're talking about an app whose whole purpose is secure... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Breaking Global Communication Barriers

  WhatsApp and Signal: Of course I’m going to conclude with the point to point encrypted communication apps Signal and WhatsApp. Most of our clients around the world communicate in these apps more than they make phone calls or send emails. Set up an account in each app and start leveraging the text, photo, phone and video features to have easy and fast conversations with your global contacts. See https://signal.org...
