privatelife - privacy, security, freedom advocacy
This community is meant to advocate privacy, security and freedom in an concise manner, free of prejudice bias, free of politics, free of cultist thoughts.
Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say. - Edward Snowden

READ THE RULES
-
Opinions are welcome, facts more so. Attack arguments, not people. Hating, baiting, trolling, flaming will be dealt with strictly.
-
Discuss closed source software with caution. Advocating for it strongly (cult brigading) can be treated as violation of this rule.
-
Editing titles of article links is strictly prohibited, unless and until the summarisation remains accurate to the context of the article or paper. Such link post will be removed without questioning.
-
Targeting of any country, person or nation is strictly prohibited without valid reasoning. Evidence if not presented against the specific company/corporation/individual will be treated as personal attack and/or hate speech. This will result in a warning, then ban system.
-
NO PERMA BANS! Ban system will work as follows:
1 day --> 3 day --> 1 week --> 2 weeks --> 3 weeks --> 1 month --> 3 months --> 6 months
Severity of the ban system will be dealt with based on degree of violation and circumstances.
-
NO FACT-LESS EVIDENCES, NO FALSE RHETORIC Evidence has to be credible. The onus of this lies on the claimant. The same applies on the user who questions proven evidence. Violation of this rule will be dealt with strictly.
-
Copycat posts serve to litter the community, increasing quantity and decreasing quality of posts. As such, posts will be removed. Repeated attempts will receive warning.

I can audit code jerk
Fine.
I'm talking about people who only debate on matrix/reddit about why this privacy service is more trustworthy. Then when I told them to self-host they reacted aggressively.
@[email protected] or @[email protected] can audit for you.
Seriously, that’s what you’re missing. Bob the non-coder can trust Microsoft not to plant spyware in MS products, or Bob can trust some portion of the public (limited to ~8 billion people) to audit the code. It’s easier to trust the public than it is to trust a corporation. It’s not just about quantity of eyes, but having eyes that are more aligned with your interests.
I'm sorry if I made the guy question his life so hard, he deleted his comments.
You summoned me for auditing code? Call me crazy but I'm in, I would actually do it and hand out free threat level and security analysis for you specific use-case / system.
I've been in the industry for 20+ years.
Sounds good.. will be interesting to see if @[email protected] takes you up on the offer!
We are actually in touch
Hopefully he asks you to audit a tool you might enjoy using or contributing to.
That would be indeed awesome.
He actually did not delete his post.
Why are you attacking me then. There are dipshits all over the place in IT spectrum. You won't see a lot of industry professionals chilling in matrix spaces debating noobs. You had one impression and now you are telling all of us to get a grip. I think you yourself should get some fucking grip.
Curious why do you put yourself in the class of privacy racers.
Because I'm a privacy advocate
!!!
Do you think installing and start using privacy-tool-of-week would improve your privacy?! Do you think proton mail is trustworthy?
Protonmail is now FOSS?
I saw the clients are open source, but what about the server??
Anyways, if you put your data on others' hard drive, NOTHING will guarantee the data can be erased on demand.
But well, when the clients is open source, PGP-encrypted messages are mostly safe.
Except if you get the key from their web client.
