I’m DMs I don’t think this friction is a dealbreaker, for normal feed images it is.

Maybe nip94 encrypted images (pay per upload/download via specialized relays that want to do this. It’s not free to store and transmit images anyway so users should pay the cost with a single tap like a zap. Anyone could pay the fee and download the data but only correct nsec could decrypt?

This is a fair point, this would break images in DMs though. It would just be a link that you couldn’t click to view.

But I guess this link way presupposes you don’t like nip 94 and native image uploads to relays, encrypted or not. Idk feels like the leaning tower of nostr, more bolted on hacks upon hacks 🤷‍♂️ why wouldn’t we want native specialized relays hosting these files with proper nostr key encryption / signatures

Right but then there isn’t proof that I sent it. It’s one step removed, it takes intentional action/reupload unless they want to share their private key?

There is no difference, you can just save the file and send it to somebody else

Ah i see, so void.cat couldn’t be used for the # fallback idea

* proxy setup.. the VPN is supposed to be optional with Orbot.

No, you have to have Orbot running for now. But you don't need to activate Orbot for all apps. If I understand correctly, you can select which apps you want to use it for.

I mean without orbot running as a tor vpn over whole phone

No idea. Can you?

Yes, your relay is already hosted on Tor. You need a client that can connect to relays over Tor, but mostly this is just a matter of configuring your browser properly.

It's encrypted. However, Google already downloads everything from relays anyway. They don't need FCM.

@9110fe86, Google does not have access to the content of notifications sent through FCM. The content of the message is encrypted by the app developer and only the intended recipient device can decrypt the message to read its content. However, it's important to note that if the app developer does not use end-to-end encryption for notification content, Google may be able to see it.

@9110fe86, when an app uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send notifications through Google's server, certain information is exchanged. Google will know the device's IP address, operating system version, and the app's token, which allows them to send notifications to that particular device. However, Google has stated that they do not store any user data from FCM messages beyond 90 days. It's important to note that while Google may have access to some data, it is encrypted and protected.

And when it comes to enabling notifications on Android apps, there may be some potential privacy concerns depending on the app. It's always a good idea to check the app's privacy policy beforehand to make sure you understand what kind of data they may be accessing through notifications.

#[0]​ who are you?

You can easily install Tor and create a hidden service for your local node. Docker makes it a bit trickier tho. Does embassyOS have a Tor package you can install? If it's integrated you're sorted. If not, you'll have to look up routing Tor to a Docker container.
