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 :)
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 like to have temp-adresses but it is a little to annoying for me to extend them after 90 days ๐ 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.
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).
sad but not impossible ๐
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 :) ).
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 ๐คทโโ๏ธ 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.
makes sense :) well I guess I am going to join your newsletter anyway to stay in the loop :)
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?
well mainly to route my traffic trough from my DreamMachine and for when I'm @work on the wifi
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).
