The fact that it’s an option that even remotely works is my point. They sell hardware. They don’t support software. The community does that. There is something to be gained from having a uniform platform for learning self hosting responsibly.

A Raspberry pi isn’t particularly great at any one thing. It’s greatest strength comes in bundling everything you need in a box at an affordable price. Once you know where your pain points are then you can build/design a system that overcomes those shortcomings.

Having a starter kit would be an easy way to get more people in the space. Would it cost $35 of course not. Level1Techs made their KVM to meet their own requirements and then the community benefits. To me, this project has that kind of energy. Or at least the potential for it.

Raspberry pi was able to do it with $35.

Nah. Arbitration uses a theoretically third party arbitrator.

Third party chosen by the employer. If your boss forces you to sign an arbitration agreement you don’t get to pick the third party. They do.

“They’re the same picture”

Is this just arbitration codified into law.

To bad we can’t send trump on a wagon to Mexico

That’s what I said. The person I replied to said that all messages are encrypted* with the asterisk being only if you specifically enable it. I clarified that it doesn’t apply to group chats though. I don’t use Telegram so the loss of functionality is actually a bigger deal to me than the argument around E2EE. Can you explain what features are lost when you enable it? It’s a messaging app so I’m curious what you sacrifice for E2EE.

Recent events have taught me that only individual chats are encrypted*. Group chats don’t have that feature.

Read the nfo file for directions. Open it with a text editor. You probably missed a step.

There is so much nuance to this argument that this conversation just glosses over. Replace “big crypto” with banks and it’s the same thing.

We also might be able to fill in some gaps in the internet archive that way someday.

I don’t think we will have the internet archive long enough to find out

I mean yes but that’s like saying Bitcoin is used by criminals to buy drugs and weapons. The problem is that’s not their only use.

Backing up data is just as important as restoring it. Good luck getting the NSAs copy.

I feel like that was intentional

So E2EE but they have a copy of the keys to use at their discretion. Cool, we have digital landlords now.

E2EE* plaintext with extra steps

My car has an aux cable to connect to my phone. The cable died again so I’ve been rediscovering the radio and I’ve been been hearing commercials for whatsapp. They advertise E2EE as a feature. What you are saying is a contradiction to that. Is it possible to have E2EE AND have them sell your convo to third parties?

Cue George Carlin

He can pay, the problem is that he doesn’t want to.

Let them fight

Housing costs money so evicting them is actually saving money. /S
