Awesome. Will I be able to follow it with free libre software such as jitsi / big blue button ? Or does it involve non-free software like zoom?

@simon Why not just use a sensor? For example with an arduino or raspberrypi.

@pvaneynd

It sounds like a parody. Chatgpt wasn’t available two years ago and Eliza is 70 years old.

@bmerberg

Substack is a non-free platform similar to linkedin and facebook (although smaller).

In my humble opinion you should consider writefreely, writeas or ghost (pro?). Writefreely and ghost are free/libre software and can be self hosted. Writeas and ghost (pro?) are the hosted versions.

Writefreely/writeas integrates with the fediverse. Ghost (pro?) is similar to substack.

I agree. Would be nice to make javascript optional.

Soapbox/rebased does not provide an official docker image and the installation guide is pretty straightforward.

@charliebrownau @wrongthink @adamcr

What do you think about forgejo and forgefed? Free libre software + decentralization through activitypub.

@wrongthink @charliebrownau @adamcr

You have a link to that covid passport tool?

You are talking about nym the mixnet or about nim the programming language regarding this covid passport tool?

@charliebrownau @wrongthink @adamcr

I also do not like github but it is hard to avoid.

I do like to promote alternatives such as forgejo

I am assuming you do not like rust because it depends too much on github ?

@charliebrownau

We want to be able to communicate with people who have different perspectives, skills and backgrounds.

See the “our reasoning” section of https://soapbox.chamba.social/about

@charliebrownau @graf @ryo

We are using soapbox / rebased. The installation guide is good: https://soapbox.pub/install/

I would also prefer an official docker image for soapbox/rebased (with docker-compose or ansible).

Yeah I like it. I follow techrights.org a bit. They are the only ones I follow that I can follow through gemini.

I like the fact that is without javascript and without cookies. Very simple and functional.

@charliebrownau @adamcr

Freenet, tor, i2p, gnunet are all interesting projects.

Libreplanet has a talk on nym as well. I am curious about that talk. Nym is another mixnet I think. Waiting for the videos to get released.

Pixel6a seems expensive but in price per year (divide by years of security updates you will get) it is cheaper than or equal to most phones.

The bigger problem is that I personally do not want to promote Google or give them any money.

But for an activist, whistleblower, journalist who wants to protect his privacy/safety and needs a phone this seems like a moot point. Best is of course not to have a phone at all.

Briar on top of grapheneos without a simcard is a pretty easy combination to get some level of protection for some threat models.

Thanks for sharing!

I hadn’t heard about ribbit yet.

There is also https://beechat.network/ which uses xbee or zigbee. It supports mesh networks and supposedly post quantum encryption. Low data rates.

@charliebrownau @adamcr

Personally I would get a pixel 6A if I had to get a phone right now. Multiple years of security updates so the price per year is actually quite low for a relatively modern device that can run grapheneos.

Alternatively the pinephone (pro) with mobian is also really nice for testing or development.

I like deltachat for the use case of connecting people who are already connected through e-mail (and are willing to install deltachat).

But there are other chat alternatives that I also like:

• matrix for connecting communities (with various clients available)
• simplex and session for providing some metadata protection
• brair for providing a tool that is useful for activists, journalists and whistleblowers right now (in combination with grapheneos, WiFi and opsec)

@aral Ah its you guys. Nice!
