Because the main reason I’m self-hosting is to have control over my data. This includes a lot of metadata about my infra/services/devices which Tailscale is uploading all the time to their servers. Besides that, they’re on the Enshitification road, which made me to search for 100% self-hosted alternatives. And yes, I’m going for EU based companies when it’s a viable option.

A mobile app would be nice for CryptPad otherwise, it does the job.

I really wanted to keep it after deciding to switch from Tailscale, but it’s mobile app is draining my phone’s battery. It also disconnects without automatically reconnect. Now, I’m in the process of setting OpenZiti up.

How’s your experience with NetBird’s mobile app?

Best security: avoid it

+1 for Termix Next on my list is to test the integration with https://github.com/warp-tech/warpgate

Can uploads to Proton Drive be automated?

You/users have a choise. Use privacy invasive chat apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, etc for free or invest some time and/or money to self-host it or use their SaaS option. Either way, you’re far better than using WhatsApp. Signal is a very good option.

If you “don’t care about privacy because if have nothing to hide”, I recommend reading Means of Control by Byron Tau or just watch what ICE is doing with all the data Palantir is offering.

I’ve been using it for more than a year to communicate with my family and a very small group of friends. The video and audio call features are good and I’ve replaced phone calls and Signal/WhatsApp with it. Because it’s XMPP, there are many clients you can use, not just the Snikket app. Overall, I recommend it because of the End2End Encryption features and self-hostable (if that’s a term)

GrapheneOS is the way to go.

WTF is with this site? No option to reject all cookies? Only “Accept all” & “Reject all and subscribe”. I just added it to my blocklist.

Very good question! AFAIK, no.

Here is an article I saved while doing some research on Matrix VS XMPP. (I’m using XMPP) https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/matrix-vs-xmpp/

True. Maybe it was not the best phrasing. It may apply to some email providers (eg. Proton) if email communication happens only between recipients of the same provider, which is rarely the case.

I mentioned this to highlight that if this pressure is put on legitimate secure services like GrapheneOS, then you can imagine that your email data is scrutinized without your knowledge.

French government is trying to crack down on encrypted services. https://x.com/GrapheneOS/status/1993035936800584103 I’m avoiding anything from France for now.

Check Feishin. It works great with both Jellyfin and Navidrome.

Is there a video for this presentation?

Yeah… I’m a bit surprised by the downvotes also. I just shared my experience without saying anything bad about any apps. Anybody is free try any tool they want until they find the one that fits their need. Thanks for the support 🤝

After a loot of research and testing different tools (Briar, Jami, Simplex, Session), I ended up using XMPP (Snikket). The call quality is good, has E2EE, Self-hosteable

Edit: fixed a typo

If privacy is important for you, https://anytype.io/ has E2EE (End-to-End Encryption). You can run your sync nodes also. Personally, I’ve used Roam Research, Doom Emacs, moved to Logseq, then Obsidian, back to Logseq and now I’m using Anytype for two years.

Edit (hit post by mistake): The encryption part was not a must for me also, but then I started using my notes in my work laptop also and I didn’t want my notes stored in plain text on a computer which is not fully controlled by me. I’m mentioning it because over time you’ll have many, many notes and the transition from one tool to the other is very time consuming.

Anytype is awesome!
