I use Signal but I keep signal use to personal IRL contacts. I don't use Matrix as much anymore but if you have a matrix room I'd join in. I'm on the more advanced side of the privacy lifestyle so my communications are highly compartmentalized. Simplex is a bit clunky still but for smaller communities it's not terrible.
Do you have plans to make a Simplex group soon? You mentioned on the pod it's where you two first met. Would love to chat and Simplex is the most private option imo.
I recommend it every time this question pops up and I'm surprised more people aren't privy to it:
Rent a VPS as your public gateway. Connect the VPS to your server with a simple wireguard tunnel.
The only thing on the VPS should be a reverse proxy with SSL/TLS pass through.
Send the traffic at the VPS reverse proxy to a reverse proxy on the main server. Configure this proxy to use letsencrypt certs.
The benefit and importance of the SSL pass through reverse proxy, is that it allows all data in transit to remain encrypted until it reaches your physical server. Traditionally, most would suggest the one and only reverse proxy exist on the VPS but all traffic would then be decrypted on the VPS. This could obviously compromise your traffic if the VPS provider snoops or your VPS is compromised.
Cloudflare tunnels decrypt on their hardware as well, which is why I always recommend avoiding their services.
I've used Tuta for years, paid account with multiple custom domains.
I prefer them for their principles, but their clients are extremely frustrating. Emails load very slowly and their email search is basically unusable.
I've resorted to downloading old emails and using other clients to import and search through them. I really wish they would improve their email search.
SDR is Standard Dynamic Range. This is how most media is viewed and has been viewed for decades, typically in the Rec709 color space. 99% of consumer devices display in SDR.
HDR is a newer technology that expands the dynamic range passed Rec709 color space. It requires an HDR capable screen to display HDR content and most content is not distributed in this format, although this has been changing in the last few years.
I personally find HDR kind of a gimmick, but my point is that HDR != HD. SDR/HDR describe contrast ratios and how many colors are rendered. SD/HD describe resolution.
The chart does show them downgrading the plans from 4K/UHD to HD though.
The wiki entry has a chart which shows all plans have access to HD content. Is the chart wrong or did the contributor confuse SD with SDR?
Either way fuck HBO.
FBI, open up!
Jk. Thank you for your service
Yeah pimeyes absolutely needs to be shut down and laws need to be in place to protect private citizens from having their information sharable and searchable without their explicit consent. "Publicly available information" is always the line people use to defend these services. I'm arguing that our modern capabilities needs to be adjusted for. Things shouldn't be so publicly accessable in the first place and personal data aggregation should be a much more vetted and potentially licensed business. Can we talk about what other purpose these facial recognition databases serve other than to stalk, expose, or extort people? If they required proof of identity and only allowed searches of your own face then I could understand the value.
I operate an invidious instance. Google has really cracked down the past two weeks on YouTube front ends. Its extremely frustrating.
Invidious devs are finalizing a workaround so hopefully things will be working again in the next week or two.
ELI5 please. What are the benefits over unbound?
Got an alternative that isn't youtube?
Thanks this sounds perfect. Just need to figure out how to get an invite. I hate that they can only be contacted over discord. Ugh
