Made some changes to the blog, from now on, all images are loaded from our selfhosted git.privacytools.io.
This way you don't have to allow connections to github anymore(which is where they were hosted before).
:)

@cypherpunk @privacytools those will be covered in a blog post that i am still writing.

@hrthu @jaiden4079 You should retry, tor has become a lot faster. you also have to use a one hop service, that way you get all the security goodies and better performance, but you lose your services anonymity.

Ive just published my next blog in the Slicing onion series. This one is about how Tor relates to vpns and other tech. And its called: Onion recipes; VPN not required.

I hope you all enjoy it, and be sure to give feedback if you have any :)

@nyvoter I would like to have a creditavle source for that ridicoulas claim, lmao.

@Notforyourdog works fine here

@espectalll @one thats the power of open source, you don't like it? Fork it, and do it yourself :).

@jaiden4079 ssh over tor v3 onion service with client auth, lets go.

@switchingsocial@mastodon.at Wheter is "secure" completely depends on once threatmodel, i wrote an article on that:

Its a step up from sms, but seeing how it has god awfull homegrown encryption, doesn't use end to end encryption by default, and doesn't even support e2e for groups or desktop, makes it god damn awfull in my opinion.

I guess people liked my blog...?

@BurungHantu big oof

@supernova @JoshuaJosephson Haven't checkee, it was just a mere observation.

@BurungHantu Well thank you :)

@jj well currently Briar does not allow you to remotely add contacts, which is rather crappy for usability. However, the dev team is currently hard at work to make this work in a few months. After that, briar will likely replace ricochet.
