@iuvi this seems like a good way to do it at first glance.

• Granted I've not used #sshuttle myself, but I found a decently written #howto for #SSHtunneling.
• Also @nixCraft made a good post explaining #SSHtunnels and also some even more condensed writeup to get you started.
  • Obviously you need a #Server on the "outside" of the #IronFirewall of #Roskomnadzor's realm, but any #VPS with decent bandwith should work.

I'd still recommend to use @torproject / #TorBrowser through that #SSHtunnel for added #privacy.

• OFC for applications that need #UDP and/or don't like #Tor you'd still be able to use them regardless, but for #Messaging like #XMPP+#OMEMO (@monocles / #monoclesChat, @gajim), #IRC & #PGP/MIME (i.e. @delta & @thunderbird) tor just works.
  • I wished @tails_live / @tails / #Tails would've support for #SSHtunnels built-in for extra-hard cases when even private #Bridges ain't an option.

Still #Russia fighting against #VPN useage whilst also being reliant on #CyberCrime & #CyberWarfare from russian soil makes it basically impossible to ban #SSH.

• After all, this would also prevent their agents from communicating since #Gonets¹ and Gazprom Space Systems either don't have global coverage or are too slow to be used for any decent communication resembling realtime beyond narrowband communication.

@CCC ich hoffe die gehen auf #XMPP+#OMEMO ( z.B. @monocles / #monoclesChat) & #PGP/MIME (z.B. @delta / #deltaChat) ein und wechseln nicht von einem #proprietär|em Silo unter #CloudAct in ein anderes!

• Nein, @signalapp / #Signal ist keine Alternative!!!

Para los que usen @monocles , el cliente XMPP en el móvil, advertir que cuando queda en segundo plano consume una buena cantidad de batería. En mi caso incluso más que la ejecución continua de la vpn de Proton. Con quitarle el permiso de ejecución en segundo plano, solucionado.

Deixo aqui este primeiro rascunho.

São bem-vindas sugestões, correções...

Obrigado!

@aliceif make one with

• @zulip
• @RocketChat
• #JitsiMeet
• #Mumble
• @delta / #DeltaChat
• #PiperMail / #MailingLists
• @gajim / #IRC
• @monocles / #MonoclesChat / #XMPP+#OMEMO
• #Tox

plz…

@ayke @wyatt also some stuff #IRC isn't the best way to do it anyway.

I'd consider #XMPP+#OMEMO and #PGP/MIME groupchats instead as @monocles / #monoclesChat & @delta / #deltaChat make those easier.

• That being said I treat #IRC like #Habbo or the #Meatspace for that matter.

  • If there's something important, people will notify me about it anyway…

Non-permanence and no logs is a feature, not a bug!

@marxistvegan I don't dismiss the problem but I also think we should stop accepting #TechIlliteracy and ignorance as cop-outs.

• People gonna learn shit then! If they can spend hours micro-optimizing their Browser or wasting it on fragile hacks to deshittify Windows, then they can also have the patience of 5-15 minutes for some hands-on setup.

I'm not even asking #TechIlliterates to go to a #CryptoParty or use #Tails, but merely following step-by-step guides for easy-to-use and -setup options like #DeltaChat & #Thunderbird and/or #monoclesChat & #gajim respectably.

• Also Proton, like Signal, are snitches if not a #HoneyPot!

@novet @ambiguous_yelp I'll never trust any #SingleVendor and/or #SingleProvider solution, but demand real #E2EE with #SelfCustody and #SelfHosting capability as #FLOSS with reproduceable builds…

• Something #Signal can't and won't deliver as a matter of principle!

Unlike #monoclesChat, #gajim (#XMPP+OMEMO) & #deltachat as well as #Thunderbird!

@nono2357 I disgree re: @signalapp / #Signal because it being a #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider 'solution' that by @Mer__edith 's own admission is hard locked-in at #aws and thus doubly subject to #CloudAct makes it a horrible choice, as they also collect #PII (in the form of #PhoneNumbers) and still peddle a #Shitcoin that even #Cryptocurrency expert users like @techlore can't even get to work.

• Sorry, but I'd rather stick with real #E2EE ( = self-custody of all the keys) and use @delta / #deltaChat, @monocles / #monoclesChat & @gajim cuz that I can fully #SelfHost and thus control!

Monocles chat es similar a conversations, tiene algunas opciones más de configuración y personalización.

#xmpp #monocleschat :xmpp:

@gtronix using @signalapp / #Signal which is subject to #CloudAct and not just able but willing to comply with any data requests (remember, it's not real #E2EE if you don't hold the keys!) is criminally stupid!

• Might just self-d0x by posting everything on #Shitter or #NSAbook!

Use #PGP/MIME (i.e. @delta / #deltaChat & @thunderbird ) or #XMPP+#OMEMO (i.e. @monocles / #monoclesChat & @gajim ) or stop entirely.

• Don't be a #UsefulIdiot by acting like an "unofficial employee" of the #AmericanGestapo!

Lo de las stories y los posts en la app de #monocleschat al final nos va a causar más dolores de cabeza de lo que nos merecemos xD

Today, on Digital Independence Day, the new monocles chat update has finally been released on F-Droid ( https://f-droid.org/ ) 🎉 . Try it out for free and use the sovereign and independent XMPP between different messengers.
The Playstore update will follow as soon as possible!

#DiDay #did #DigitalIndependenceDay #monocles #monocleschat #xmpp #fdroid #messenger

Veo que en la última actualización de #MonoclesChat han aparecido nuevas funciones, con stories y feeds. Ahora me pregunto si esas funciones solo se aplican entre usuarios de #Monocles o es que todo #XMPP ya las incorpora.

@patcharcana the problem is that a #VCmoneyBurningParty aka. #Honeypot like #Signal has OFC money to burn and advertising budget.

• There are better options that don't demand "#KYC" via #PhoneNumber and/or do worse bs…

  • Like @monocles / #monoclesChat & @gajim (or any other #XMPP+#OMEMO client) and
  • @delta / #deltaChat as well as @thunderbird for #PGP/MIME.

All it takes is like 5' to get #TechIlliterates setup and connected.

Liebes Tagebuch,

Dear diary,

what a day!
A new version of #Conversations_im and #Quicksy is available.
Additionally, a new version of #Snikket (Android) has been released with much better user experience.
And, not to forget, on Codeberg, a new version of #monocleschat (including stories, feeds and a phone log) is available.

#XMPP is evolving...

Today, the next release of monocles chat is finally ready and published, and will be available in stores in the next few days. It is a huge update with three fundamental new features:
Stories, Feeds, and Phone log.
In addition to many other improvements and features such as account sorting and improved message deletion, this update also brings new support for multiple XEPs. Thanks to the standardization of XMPP, it is now possible to interact socially with other XMPP platforms and messengers. The new features bring more functions that are fully compatible with the XMPP web platform @movim Create your stories today or make a post for your contacts in monocles chat or Movim.

#monocleschat #monocles #movim #xmpp #chat #messenger

@fromjason so from one proprietary platform subject to #CloudAct with "#TrustMeBro! security & privacy" to another.

• I'm not angry, just disappointed!
