Nostr Web Client

One of my favorite small hacks for improving my privacy that I learned this year is sending my images and videos to myself on Signal as a note to self. This strips the metadata before I share them online. Thank you very much, Mr. Matt nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqnz0fd0 🙏

The only downside is that on my end, Signal seems to strip some of the original color from the media and make it look a bit greyer. A temporary workaround I’ve been using is applying a vivid filter before sending to Signal, though I’m not sure it fully preserves the original color.

Has anyone else run into this issue and/or found a better workaround?

If you have an Android you can use the open source Aves image gallery app to srtip metadata from images and videos.

Signal reduces resolution by default. You can turn it off.

Thank you, for the tip. Is this what you are referring to? I just switched to high.

Yep! Hopefully it prevents any changes.

GM Didi. Since I believe you use an android (GrapheneOS), I would try Scrambled Exif (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.jarsilio.android.scrambledeggsif/). I use it ALL the time when I share photos. It shows up as a location in the Share Menu of most apps.

we tested zaps on this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at hashtagnull@parablenine.com, over a period of 2 minutes. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
