This was basically Blondies Pizza back in the day. Also the nitter thread is from 2019.

I’d say run a local imap server rather than dealing with the weirdness of storage shares across multiple OS’s.

If we told just anyone, it wouldn’t be private!!!

Srsly any phone app is inherently insecure because the phone itself is insecure. And there’s lots of metadata leakage, like the phone broadcasting its location. There is no “go to app”. It all depends on what you are trying to do and who you are trying to communicate with.

If this is for live disks or mirrors (not backup), LUKS is reasonable. Backup is different from mirroring since one of the things it protects you from is accidentally deleting files. If you delete a file from your main drive, it also disappears from the mirror drive, so mirrors are not backup. For encrypted backup, I’ve been using Borg backup which is quite well thought out, though confusing at first. The backups go on a remote server which is ok since they are all encrypted.

The PFS comes from deleting the secret DH parameters after you are done using them.

The codecs are built into the client (I’m using linphone) and they all sound like crap. Provider is vitelity.net but I have a twilio account so could try that. Also, they only work at all when the phone is online by wifi. Using the phone’s mobile data is total fail. Too many dropouts etc.

This forwards to an (oh the irony) blogspot post, https://articlesgallery8543.blogspot.com/2023/10/lets-decentralize-web-together.html It encourages people to move off sites like facebook towards sites like lemmy. Great but I think we knew that already.

Voip call quality is terrible, it is near unusable over mobile data IME, it adds latency etc.

I guess an intermediate measure might be to make all your phone calls through a forwarding proxy (e.g. implemented with Twilio API) so that all the mobile carrier sees is that your phone calls all go to the same number. Similarly you’d give out a VOIP DID number that forwards to your mobile, so all your incoming calls would appear to come from the same number.

Don’t know about Signal but the way PFS usually works is there is something like a Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange. Each person generates a random (private) number, remembers it, crunches it mathematically into a public number, and sends the public number to the other person. Each then combines their private number with the public number that they got from the other person, and this (because of how DH works) cleverly gives both people the same secret number they use for the encryption, but the secret can’t be reconstructed without knowing at least one of the private numbers. Finally, the PFS part is simply that each person permanently deletes both the shared secret and the private number they generated for that exchange (they will create new ones next time they want to communicate). That means there is no way to reconstruct the secret and re-decrypt the message.

Of course, authentication also has to be added to all this.

For more info, probably easiest to look up Diffie-Hellman key exchange online.

Aha, thanks, not sure how I managed to miss it before. Hmm.

Site is https://steamdb.info/ (database of steam games) if you were wondering.

I only read a few paragraphs so you are more persistent than me. I wonder if it is AI generated.

To change the main sidebar they apparently first got control of an admin account, oops.

“Thus we join television in leading people to kill thoughtlessly.”. --Emacs manual, in earlier days.

This seems like a mistake. It’s a discussion forum, it should be possible to have long conversations.

Thanks, yeah, or maybe the devs will see it here on lemmy.ml. I’d rather not make an account on that Microsoft site just to file a feature request. I find it unfortunate that Lemmy is hosted there while at the same time unironically mocking “embrace, extend, extinguish” in its own memes community, heh.

The only way I see to block a community is to visit the community first, which is an annoying interruption because of the additional screen navigation, plus you end up ironically visiting the very community you want to block. So I’m asking a way to block the community after seeing the main page link. That is, add a “block community” button similar to the existing “block user” button. The community name and instance (lemmynsfw.com) together are usually informative enough to tell me whether I want to block.

I didn’t notice a setting in Jerboa, and the porn was visible on the front page of lemmy.world. I don’t want “hide NSFW” which hides it everywhere. I only want to hide it from the front page. If an on-topic post in some relevant community happens to be NSFW, I still want to see it.
