How are your Guards doing with your NickServ correlated with your Tor chat?
#Cwtch looks a lot better as a messenger. It just needs the #Rust !

Have you ever tried to get a rusted bolt loose? Might as well be written in weld.
-----------------------------------------------------------
How many people still use #IRC ? Is it considered trusted and a known quanity because it has been arround for a long time? #Whonix removed it because it is unmaintained. #Tor blog mentions Hexchat in the #oniux announcement. You will have troubles authenticating and never get to the Palladium #onion if you try oniux hexchat. #old or #new : who to trust? When it comes to technology, treachery of the old and fidelity of the new?
@torproject - what works:
oniux element-desktop
https://forums.whonix.org/remove-hexchat-unmaintained
https://github.com/whonix/anon-meta-packages
--> logs out of Matrix server frequently, though. #Cwtch just needs #Rust instead of golang ; )

But to have oniux, you need #Debian #Trixie and Whonix is still stable.

#Pidgin is still maintained

so @cwtch l keeps crashing due to memory tagging errors. is it possible to fix this without having to submit a PR to the project?

if not, are there common things to look for in the source etc that could be patched to fix it?

tagging @sarahjamielewis and @GrapheneOS

#cwtch #grapheneOS #memoryTagging #MTE

@neil Im concerned how this will affect decentralised social media like #simplex https://simplex.chat #briar https://briarproject.org & #cwtch https://docs.cwtch.im these services r so decentralised there aren't even servers that facilitate users directly its more like a participatory network infrastructure, its undeniably user-to-user but what are they going to do charge every simplex relay operator? Or every node in a briar mesh? Or r group moderators liable instead?

I really would like to have a better understanding of the differences (not so technical, but also pros and cons) of decentralised messaging services, in comparison
The FAQ page at the "Quiet" wiki at

#^https://github.com/TryQuiet/quiet/wiki/Quiet-FAQ

has a section comparing #Quiet to many of the well-known messaging apps (#Deltachat and #Simplex are not part of the list; #Signal, #Matrix / #Element, #Briar, #Cwtch, and many others are).

#^https://github.com/TryQuiet/quiet/wiki/Quiet-FAQ#how-quiet-compares-to-similar-apps

The list includes centralized, federated, as well as peer-to-peer messengers. The language is respectful of all the other apps, and not very technical. For each app, it explains the implications in practice of technical design choices, and describes how those compare to Quiet.

You can yourself contrast the points made about all those apps to understand their differences.

@cwtch I really would like to have a better understanding of the differences (not so technical, but also pros and cons) of decentralised messaging services, in comparison:
@cwtch
@element
@delta

Do you know if that exists?

I'm on @signalapp , love it, but I realise that another centralised solution might not be the ultimate solution...

And I need to think wisely before bringing all my people to a new platform 🙃

Thank you!

#cwtch #matrix #deltachat #signal

Open question/food for thought, especially for people living in EU/EEA jurisdictions, about #privacy: How would you go about personal messaging in a worst case scenario with #ChatControl?

Just go on with your life (either because you and your friends already use a very hard to block, secure messaging service, or because you accept surveillance)? Fire up your own IRC server as an Onion service? #Cwtch? #Briar? Start writing a lot of letters on paper, because your handwriting is a great cipher after all those years behind a keyboard?

@desirable_dialogue well you are correct, however it always depends on ones risk model. Does #Cwtch has postQuantum encryption? Briar doesnt, and even if it had it's not usable enough for your average person, also you have to set up a Mailbox to receive messages while offline. Cwch really seems interesting thanks for sharing I didnt know about it. But if it does not have post quantum encryption for some risk models that only leave Signal, SimpleX and well iMessage(claim they have it).
