Everyone talks about end-to-end encryption, but that's only one piece of the privacy puzzle.

I compared 14 messaging apps using the LINDDUN privacy threat modeling framework, evaluating them across seven privacy threats:

• Linkability
• Identifiability
• Non-repudiation
• Detectability
• Data disclosure
• Unawareness
• Non-compliance

The results challenge many common assumptions about apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, iMessage, Discord, Threema, Session, SimpleX, Briar, Cwtch, Matrix, Wire, and others.

If you care about metadata, anonymity, surveillance resistance, or privacy by design, this guide is for you.

Tutti hanno bisogno di fare rifornimento.

La vera domanda è:

Di cosa?

Controllo o libertà?
Rumore o sostanza?
Promesse o utilità?

Alcuni scelgono il carburante più pubblicizzato.

Altri leggono l'etichetta.

European Parliament extends scanning of private messages

So, I have regularly (daily) used security keys for the past 6 months. I have tested four different brands and about 8 models. I always come back to the NitroKey 3A NFC.

It isn't the best built or the easiest to use. But it is the perfect balance for me and how I operate. Log in, tap the key, continue with my business. Open-source firmware, no proprietary blobs.

I highly recommend it.

My friend isn’t receiving my messages. Neither am I able to send new texts now. Both our apps are updated and our WiFi signals are good.

Guess what a decade of subscriptions costs

Spotify over ten years: $1,560. Netflix: $2,400. Two questions, two brutal answers — and two free self-hosted replacements (Navidrome, Jellyfin) that end the meter.
