@davep @mapto @yawnbox @Mer__edith Granted #MIL / #INTEL - espechally in the #USA - have bespoke pipelines (they tend to use @RocketChat ) and for #Videocalling there are many #WebRTC based options like #WebCall & #JitsiMeet …
You don't expect a Motorcycle to be good at hauling trailers nor do you expect a 40t truck to be perfect for cruising around mountain passes.
@Mer__edith yes, and your shitty #App doesn't even run good to begin with.
And I dare you to defend that #Signal needs camera access outside of videocalling!
My [reservations](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114234551915193036) and [criticism](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114862595629371002) re: #Signal are not just valid, but the reality is *even worse than I thought*: - The fact that @signalapp@mastodon.world requires not only their shitty #Android #App, and a #PhoneNumber but literally won't allow people to use their shitty #Desktop-App unless they have an Android device with a camera pointed at it makes it utterly unuseable for certain users *who don't have a fucking #camera in their Android*… Seriously, do they expect folks to deal with that shit? - It's already worse in terms of #UX than #telegram and #discord and that too makes #XMPP+#OMEMO clients like @monocles@monocles.social / #monoclesChat & @gajim@fosstodon.org / #gajim easier and faster to onboard #TechIlliterates onto. - Whichever asshole decided that a *replacement for #SMS* should mandate #PII like a #PhoneNumber & not be natively cross-platform should be banned from doing any #tech in their life. Trying to circumvent this shit and helping folks with it makes me so fucking angry that I'm now explicitly refusing to support it! FIX THAT SHIT, @Mer__edith@mastodon.world, and if it means you need to kick some devs in their crouch then consider this a necessary *"investment"*… #sarcasm #TechSupport #TapesFromTechSupport #Enshittifucation #SignalSucks #TelegramSucks #Messengers
@Mer__edith except @signalapp chose to add that bloat (just like choice was made to add #MobileCoin!) and force it onto your infrastructure instead of doing what even AAA Videogames do and let the users host it…
@Mer__edith@mastodon.world There are options, it's just that @signalapp@mastodon.world is too incompetent to do so (according to your wording) or rather *chose not.to take these routes*… - Also *you chose* to integrate #bloat like #Videocalling and do #centralization instead of proper #PeerToPeer communications! But since you don't pay me to fix it, it ain't my problem! - So consider this the worst or best sales pitch. I'm shure you'll be able to tell me in case you actually care, [cuz I do!](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114935952643402592)
@tobi Was ich empfehle ist nen #SSH-Tunnel als #VPN, #XMPP+#OMEMO oder #OnionShare für #Messaging und #WebCall bzw. #JitsiMeet für #Videocalling & #Telefonie.
Für'n "Lebenszeichen" / Beacon würde ich ntfy.sh nutzen.
Gibt es hier Leute, die sich spezifisch mit der Situation in Russland auskennen und best practice Empfehlungen haben oder vielleicht aktuelle Informationsquellen, auch zur juristischen Lage, kennen? Welche Messenger empfehlt ihr? Kompromisse müssen bestimmt gemacht werden, aber sollten tendenziell keine zu steile Lernkurve erfordern, sodass die Familie sich das gut aneignen und sicher benutzen kann. :BoostOK: #fedihelp #askfedi #ITSecurity #Russland #Solidarität #messenger #Sicherheit #digitaleSouveranität #DigitaleSelbstverteidigung #UnplugPutin #UnplugTrump
@humanhorseshoes @Uair @verge personally, I love payphones and if I had some money I'd literally setup payphones that do like #WebCall!
First of all, why did you do that, @MattKC ?
"#backporting" a shitty #app like #discord to #Windows95 is not only absurd, but explicitly going against Discord's #ToS.
But hey, maybe some folks just like that. Their time wasted I guess...
Idee: #Telefonzelle, aber statt 08/15-Telefonie mit sicherer Kommunikation per #WebCall, #JitsiMeet & #OnionShare.
#WasFehlt: Hersteller für #TelH78 / #TelH90 - Style Kabinen...
Das Teil würde dann quasi nach jeder Benutzung rebooten um alle privaten Daten zu löschen!
@StarkRG nodds in agreeement In a #classroom-like #setup we'd more likely see some centralized, self-hosted #managment solution like #Landscape or #RustDesk being used.
And if this acts similar to #WebCall and merely acts as a "Rendrevous-Server" then traffic and thus costs should be quite low.
I'd still hope they #OpenSource the #Backend so that there's another competitor to #Dayon and #RustDesk available...

sudo admin user with #Pubkey-only auth on #SSH is likely the way to do some admin stuff.Maybe one day @RaspberryPi will even add #PXE - #NetBoot capabilities to their #RaspberryPi and thus allow for #DisklessWorkstation - Setups, saving a crapton on #MicroSD cards that are prone to get lost and/or stolen...
