Ntfy is a good lightweight option indeed.

Yes

And are you selfhosting and have them join you or how and where do they get their accounts? When the encryption keys don’t sync, who’s doing tech support?

I mean, my mother is 78. It’s all kind of challenging.

Better at connecting with the people in my life, the people that I want to stay in touch with on a regular basis.

Why?

Belgium isn’t a country, it’s an experiment. I love it. I wish we could just see our fellow countrymen as people who just want to have a stable and secure life but somehow we’re on this journey to split the North from the South for the last 70 years.

Life is good but we all struggle under the continued issues that are challenging the EU and the rest of the world. Covid, Ukraine, Trump,… They are pulling us down.

Being a Belgian is a privilege and I feel like all Belgians should realize that more often.

In stead of the Netherlands, give Belgium a try. Visit Gent, Bruges, Leuven, Brussels…

Somehow, I’ve got HR fighting for me. What a great country to live in.

Your mom uses Matrix? You could set up something with random people you just met? Because we’re at that stage with Signal. It’s private and convenient. If I want to have some soort of anonimity I’ll use different platforms, indeed.

My contact coulds find me by phone number. I changes my status on WhatsApp and half of the regular contacts decided to use Signal. If I want to use SimpleX I would have to invite them all and just hope they’ll adopt.

I don’t need my phone number to be private. I want my communication to be private.

They offer encrypted messaging, not anonimity. They offer a way to keep your conversations private. It’s not an opsec tool, it’s not a tool to be used by the military. It’s a platform for regular people that don’t want to get spyed on or don’t want their conversations to be used agains them when legislation changes.

"Nullum crimen sine lege, nulla poena sine lege’’

They are. Just depends on where you live

Sir, we don’t do mental health here.

The Jack vs. The Ninja scene is what I show people when I want to give an example.

Some youtubers like Networkchuck and Chris from BigBearTechWorld. Especially the last one convinced me with his structured and kind style. His Discourse forum is really helpful.

Legendary. Love what they are doing. I have issues with getting people on their platform because of the cartoonish style.

Mullvad will coat you 5 bucks a year. If you don’t pay for it, you’re the product.

I WFH 2 days a week and commute to three different offices according to where they need me. WFH is for concentration, office time is for collaboration.

Globally? Have they read GDPR?

So, i don’t need much from a launcher but gestures, custom icons and folders have been apart of my smartphone for so many year they’re a must.

I believed that one day I would find myself in a situation where I would have to save myself or a friend from being buried in quicksand.
