Hi, Ralph Krämer schrieb am Thu, Feb 13, 2020 at 02:46:58AM +0100: > why telegram and not signal or threema? Now that's easy to answer: * Signal refuses connections from forked clients like LibreSignal, i.e. might be "open source", but is not "open". * Threema is no free software (not even open source) and hence can't be trusted anyway. But Telegram has issues, too: * The server-side code is not open source. * End to end is not default and also cumbersome, because it's device to device, not user to user.

Whow, just whow After years of this mailing list slowly rotting away, someone takes an approach and tries to give back life to the group. And now suddenly, people are crawling from beneath their rocks and have much better ideas, on how this could have been done all along. Crawl back under your rock, please. You had all the time in the world to do something and didn't. I applaud Max for his initiative.

Re: [swinog] Telegram group
Hello, I usually remain silent and read interesting threads but on this topic I would like to express a few things. I'm part of those to conceive Internet concepts such as distributed and federated protocols as the core values of the system. I also think it has become very important to fight for data ownership design concepts and interoperability, key to Internet, but seriously in danger. In these perspectives, I can only support free software projects, and encourage decentralized and distributed schemes. I am not surprised to see people arguing for either Telegram, Signal, you-name-it. This is the failure of messaging apps to be interoperable. Early protocols such as IRC, and best example, SMTP was meant with interop goal first. XMPP is good protocol set to try to provide a generic messaging system. Lots of clients and servers exists and each server can interconnect, and each client can connect to any server they can register with. Matrix is very interesting, while I think, as a modern comm protocol it should require e2ee by default. I won't argue for a specific project or protocol, but I would like to express that I wish people favor interop, decentralized, and help supporting such Internet strengh. -- |_|0|_| julien Mabillard |_|_|0| OpenPGP 1E47 513E 8B00 8BC5 E874 23E4 54A4 32FB 260A 2D41 |0|0|0| xmpp/omemo: j...@tls.mbuf.net ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

> Is there an IOS/Apple app for IRC that acts like an messenger app? (eg > persistant connection)? There is, but it's probably not quite what you were expecting: ZNC Pair that with a regular IRC client and you're good to go. Suggestion: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/palaver-irc/id538073623 And yes, this is exactly what you'd have been doing when you wanted a persistent IRC connection on *any* system: Use an IRC bouncer. Even if that bouncer is just a screen or a tmux session on a shell server. ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

Everyone has his/her own favourite messaging app/system, and unfortunately we can't make everyone happy. I picked telegram because that's where I already participate in a series of other groups ranging from a handful of people up to a couple of them with around a thousand people, and it works. It has its ups and downs, but in general it does its job.

Re: [swinog] Telegram group
Hello .*, I was waiting for the chat system discussion to start, it's good that we IT communities are so predictable :-). My 4.99 rounded Rappen: 1) I fully understand Massimiliano's approach to "just do it" and not to think too much about the medium 2) IRC has the "disconnect/no history issue" 3) If I was to have an opinion on a chat system (hehe) I'd say we should go with matrix, as it is IRC with history+images+end-to-end-encryption, however I might not have an opinion here 4) I'm waiting for the person pointing out XMPP is the same principle 5) There is matterbridge [0] which we heavily use at ungleich, which can bridge almost anything to anything. In case we want to bridge irc to telegram to matrix to xmpp to slack and whatsapp, it's an easy thing to do. Simon, you made my evening!
