So I upgraded and tested not adding a trusted proxy (using Traefik in front of Jellyfin) and nothing broke. Was it supposed to break or is it just that its insecure? Am I less secure by not adding it as a trusted proxy?

everyone does their own thing, but semantic versioning is specifically:

• Major: Incompatible changes (breaks existing code).
• Minor: New, compatible features.
• Patch: Bug fixes, small improvements.

it’s only gotten better. now you can run it in your browser and play local files

MLS only deals with encryption and key management, which is great but that’s been a “solved” problem since TextSecure (now Signal) introduced the TextSecure Protocol (now the Signal Protocol) in 2013.

What I’m aware is missing with RCS / MLS compared to Signal (someone with more recent knowledge please correct me):

• Sealed sender so only the recipient knows who sent the message.
• Not storing metadata or logs.
• No built in crash reports.
• Private contact discovery.
• Published government requests providing evidence that they don’t have any data.
• Open source client.
• Looking at the Google Play store, Google’s Messenger shares precise location data with third parties, Signal doesn’t.
• Also on the Google Play store, Google’s Messenger app list a lot of data collected. Signal only lists phone number.

RCS still leaks metadata like a sieve. Encryption, considering the platforms that exist today (Signal and SimpleX), should not be the minimum requirement. Plain-text messaging should not even be possible in modern secure messaging platforms. The platform should be open source and be engineered to mitigate the collection of metadata - like Signal and SimpleX.

H.265 is patent encumbered. Blame the 2 or 3(?) patent pool holders (for-profit corporations, unlike non-profit -and-slowly-losing-market-share Mozilla) for not making it free to use for everyone.

This is why AV1 is preferred, it saves bandwidth and there’s no threat of being sued into oblivion.

But then you’re indirectly giving the enemy (Google) power by increasing their browser market share, which in turn lets them dictate the future of the web.

just tell people to join mastodon.social. problem solved

Which is a great workaround but then all your private notes are on Google’s servers, accessible to anyone with enough admin rights on their end. All apps should be end-to-end encrypted going into 2025. There’s no reason security AND privacy shouldn’t be included.

I’ve never seen constant login reminders, but I’ve only used it in a browser, and the Android/Window/Linux apps are you seeing it on iOS? Maybe its a bug? If you go to settings in the app and then click “Help and support” > “Report an issue” you can open a github issue. I’ve had really good success in getting issues resolved.

technically yes. they just recently made the sync server open source - https://github.com/streetwriters/notesnook-sync-server - but their documentation for it is still pending.

I’ve been following their progress for a while and can say that they appear to be following through on all their goals. and are very responsive to issues on GitHub. but don’t take my word for it, check out their roadmap to see when they release the self hosting documentation- https://notesnook.com/roadmap/

but I thought apple were the good guys /s

not sure tbh. one time I did an uninstall/reinstall and that fixed the issue.

I couldn’t get work to pay for it so I found a better, cheaper alternative, Notesnook. It’s open source (client and sync server), you can publish notes, and it’s end-to-end encrypted.

did you try clearing your browser cache? seems to fix a lot.

https://cryptpad.fr as an alternative to Googles online office suite.

end-to-end encrypted and open-source collaboration suite.

still really early in development but if you primarily work from the browser on a desktop/laptop, it works well enough. I’ve struggled with getting sheets working on a mobile browser but I really like that you could completely self host if you want or just pay them to do it for you.

Reddit/Twitter have had years of development and tons of funding. you’re comparing Applesnto oranges. give the little guys (Lemmy/Mastodon) some time to catch up? that they already work as well as they do compared to massive corporations is pretty impressive. And just to counter your experience, I’ve had zero issues with Mastodon. Lemmy has a few minor UX bugs that will eventually get ironed out.

Last I checked Threema was at least just as good as Signal. Unfortunately Threema is a paid app, which makes it really difficult to for me to recommend as there are many opposed to paying for apps for various reasons. I stick with Signal and even being free (I do donate monthly) I’ve struggled to get people to switch. I find Signals approach of being donation funded to be more equitable and accessible.

loops is still very early in development. people need to tamper their expectations.

deals with Microsoft or any other competitor who may want to silence alternatives.
