@GuillaumeRossolini @dzwiedziu no, WhatsApp most certainly doesn't and I don't consider it real E2EE if you cannit exercise self-custody.

  • Which you don't in either case!

I wish everyone could afford your level of naivity and trust, because that's how I almost got killed!

Native apps are coming to the App Store and Google Play - re/notes first, with re/task following shortly after. The same end-to-end encrypted notes and tasks as dedicated apps, built from this same open-source code.

This week on AegisLink (solo dev, building in public):

✅ Hardened the ratchet: state updates are now transactional — a crash mid-decrypt can't corrupt the session
✅ Locked down CORS on the relay
✅ Push delivery verified end-to-end (payload always encrypted; FCM only sees "wake up")

«Sicherheitsrisiko — Signal-Chefin Meredith Whittaker warnt vor KI-Chatbots:
@signalapp Chefin @Mer__edith hat sich gegen die übermäßige Verwendung von KI-Chatbots und KI-Agenten ausgesprochen. Diese könnten ein massives Sicherheitsrisiko darstellen, etwa, indem sie die Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung aushebelten.»

KI-Kritik von populären Fachpersonen wird leider noch selten ernst genommen.

Sicherheitsrisiko: Signal-Chefin Meredith Whittaker warnt vor KI-Chatbots | t3n

Signal-Chefin Meredith Whittaker hat sich gegen die übermäßige Verwendung von KI-Chatbots und KI-Agenten ausgesprochen. Diese könnten ein massives Sicherheitsrisiko darstellen, etwa, indem sie die Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung aushebelten. Schon seit Jahren warnt Meredith Whittaker, Präsidentin der Signal-Stiftung, vor dem KI-Hype und möglichen Gefahren für die Datensicherheit. Der verschlüsselte Messenger Signal verzichtet daher bewusst auf die Integration von […]

Defend the open Internet 🌐

Digital ID checks behind the social media ban and beyond blow a hole in free expression and privacy.

VPN restrictions and encryption-busting device scanning are due to follow.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/116778581774705880

Tagging the first version of the relay will be a proud accomplishment for me. It means officially publishing an #ActivityPub relay, here only to maintain your identity and activities when your devices are offline.
It brings custom domains for self-identity, #E2EE DMs, and multi-device support, while each device runs its own AP server. Not tied to a single platform, it supports microblogging, images, or even videos in one click.
Full sovereignty, without installing an instance on a VPS.

Encrypted ≠ Private.

Your messages are encrypted — but who you talk to, when, and how often usually isn't. That's metadata, and most "private" apps still log it.

"We kill people based on metadata." — Gen. Hayden, ex-NSA/CIA.

AegisLink keeps zero metadata: no IP logs, no timestamps, no contact graph. Anonymous by default. Open source.

🛡️ AegisLog #1 (12–18 Jun)

🛠️ Shipped: large E2EE groups (up to 1024), owner-signed roles, group voice channels, on-device post-quantum crypto (ML-KEM-768).

🐛 Fixed: server CI was red for days (Jest ESM vs node:sqlite). Green again.

🔐 No one adds you to a group without your consent: invited → you approve → then you're in.

🔜 Next: PQXDH to transport + server.
