This would effect Mullvad, right?

Also, has briar given up on its desktop client?

🤔

Could you explain/elaborate to a know-nothing (me) on the following from your link?:

Caveats of federation: Metadata leaking

When using federation, Matrix’s room states (containing a lot of Metadata) get replicated and stored indefinitely on every homeserver any user connects with or connects to. While this is a feature for enabling distributed chat rooms, it comes at a serious privacy cost.

To avoid this, you can either disable federation, or make sure that your users signed up with no linkable identifiers other than their user names.

Last time I tried SimpleX, you had to scan a QR code to go from Desktop to mobile and vice versa, any chance of them changing that? Otherwise it did look promising.

If I set up Filen to sync my home folder to the cloud and I change VPN countries while it’s syncing, is that likely to cause any technical or security problems?

EDIT: My tests would seem to indicate not, but what does everyone else think? Best practices?

This is looking pretty promising so far, thanks to all who responded 👍

Thanks! They claim to have zero knowledge and E2EE . . . does End 2 End Encryption mean that my data is encrypted “in transit” as well as “at rest?” Was never quite clear on that.

Hey, if I cross post this to proton@lemmy.world, maybe Andy Yen will see it, it will light a fire under their collective asses, they’ll drop everything else they’re working on, labor long and hard, night and day, until the Linux client for Proton Drive is ready! Whaddaya think? 😉

Thank you! 🙂

Probably not at the top of anyone’s list, and a little bit old, but do you have any thoughts about the following?:

If the Reddit mascot’s name is “Snoo,” then the Lemmy mascot’s name is . . . ?

If I had a phone set up like that, and, say, ICE or TSA took it, what would they be able to get from it? And I know that legally they can’t make you give up your PIN, but what’s to keep them from just beating it out of you? Cops of any stripe rarely if ever face consequences for their actions, especially in the US.

Is that one a paid service? Have heard good things about it but never tried.
