In case you missed it, I **FINALLY** published the #StateOfTheBird for April 2026!

I'm not sure why @news isn't showing up for me on @mastodon.social so I can't boost it, but here it is anyways. If anyone has any ideas on why that might be, please let me know!

Retrospective Our last State of the Bird covered March 2026 was published on April 23rd 2026. This post is super late as I kept forgetting about it and then I had a whole bunch of health stuff to deal with. April wasn’t as busy as March, but we still got quite a bit done. As ment...

Hab übrigens doch noch einen öffentlich verfügbaren Server gefunden, wo man den Onion #TOR Endpunkt für #XMPP Chat nutzen kann: https://xmpp.is/

Die Kontakte müssen aber glaub ich auch auf Onion Endpunkten registriert sein. Zur Not dann einfach zwei Acounts nutzen, einen im normalen Internet und einen für anonym im Tor.

Mit dem bei #Tails Linux mitgelieferten #Pidgin funktioniert aber #OMEMO Verschlüsselung scheinbar nicht, also #Gajim extra installieren.

Bisschen Tricky, aber könnte es nun präsentieren. Briar wäre aber einfacher.

#LXMF Protokoll ist auch sicher und verschlüsselt, aber weiß nicht wie Anonym. Ansonsten scheint mir das für Personas der Tails-Zielgruppe besser geeignet.

Leider kann sich aber MeshChatX noch nicht über TOR-Verbinden und I2P ist nicht in Tails.

IMO ist für Tails-Nutzer und Whistleblower aktuell keine einfache Möglichkeit zur Chat Kommunikation verfügbar, zumindest nicht auf aktuellen Stand der Zeit.

@brettm We've had this in @pidgin as well with the Novel and Sametime protocols. They gave us the code to maintain but no way to test it because they didn't give us access to any servers. So of course it all bitrot..
