@rysiek I've switched 30+ of my friends/family on Signal becase they were using Facebook messenger for communication, I think I've done good deed

@rysiek My point is: Centralized -> cool if everything is open sourced and you have option to host it but not wanting to because you lack resources or technical skills
Decentralized -> Even better but there is problem of getting end users to use it, because everyone wants 'plug and play' experience and don't want to break their brains of choosing servers they want to use

@rysiek Yes, I agree. I like how people are calling FOSS projects communism, lol

@rysiek Yes, I have and I love principle behind it. But there is that "get your friends on it" and they don't want to hear about it when I say that we need to exchange identities by scanning each others QR codes. They don't even know what identities are. You see problem now what centralized service like Signal solves easily? I would love for everyone to use Briar but that is simply not even close to being reality

@loziniak
For what other service can you say that they run code they represent to you? They can tweak it on their servers however they want to do something you can't see when using it. No service can guarantee you that, Signal included
@rysiek

@rysiek I think that main problem is ease of usage, no end user (eg my grandma) should even know what encryption is but she should be able to easily install and use apps. Briar with grandma? Maybe if I come and set it up for her. Briar with friends in foreign country? No go. I support decentralized services but fact is that they are not user friendly, and average user uses Whatsapp and doesn't know what decentralization is.

@rysiek
Imo yes, look at Signal. I will put trust to service with centralized servers if everything is open source in their code. In that case they are providing you their service and ease of not setting and maintaining things yourself, because not everyone has technical skills to do it. Centralised services are not evil if every bit of their code is open to the public.

@wiktor Its nice thing to have, although no one is sending me PGP messages, I think its important for people to have some proofs that they are communicating to whomever they are communicating with. That was Keybases most important point imo, publicly verifiable proofs of identity

@wiktor Cool, thanks for quick reply. Very nice project overall

@wiktor
How to add picture, should it render itself from some of proofs?

@wiktor
Cool, I'll be adding social proofs now

@kravietz
I may be hosting synapse server for large team, but not before I get my diploma and some fat stacks of money
@rysiek

@kravietz
I also have matrix account at privacytools.io server, but matrix doesn't allow sharing and sync of large files afaik
@rysiek

@kravietz
I still use it for sharing materials for studying with other colleagues, I'm owner of team that has more than 60 users, and we grow by day. My hearth still bleeds after this zoom purchase :(

@hyde ipfs.io, za NextCloud sam znao vec, koristim ga ali ga ne hostujem

@sheogorath Found it, I was missing header for .well-known/openpgp/hu. Thanks

@sheogorath By here I mean https://metacode.biz/openpgp/web-key-directory, forgot to put link

@sheogorath I've set it up. Do you know anything about adding Access-Control-Allow-Origin header? I've tested it here but not getting positive test for that header in nginx config

@hyde Ovo deluje dobro, mozda implementiram u nekoj buducnosti
