I didn't realize that I was on the conversations tab on Amethyst/Garnet (it was the first post I saw & the reply UI is similar to the quote UI when on the feed page) & I didn't bother correcting it when I did notice- my apologies if you get offended easily.
I don't see what the personal attacks have to do with my point. Your initial post was categorically incorrect. These distinctions are necessary for productive discussions to take place, not that I would expect most BTC maxis to understand that
He doesn't understand the meaning of privacy. What he's describing is anonymity (or rather the potential for it). Why do people use terms without understanding them?
I should note that I say this as a (personal) homeserver administrator and someone who has been using Matrix for several years. I've had a lot of fun on the platform, but its encryption scheme is just atrocious from a usability POV
Matrix with normal people is a nightmare because Matrix with technical users is a nightmare
If there's one thing that Matrix does well, it's teaching you the value of simplicity the hard way
Haven't installed it yet unfortunately- got busy with other things (you will hear about one of them in a few weeks inshaAllah) & I'm considering migrating back to Qubes OS as my daily driver which would complicate the firewall setup significantly
PoW. I'm sick of spam.
Opened this app 5 minutes ago and the spam has already annoyed me into thinking about putting a WoT relay online

PSA: Detecting curl piped into a shell from the server's side is way easier than you think.
It's a stupidly obvious attack vector in retrospect, and that alone should be enough to make you think

Scammers using SimpleX? I'm impressed, frankly.
Not being facetious there, I am absolutely immature enough to find MITM attacks funny
Example NTP attack https://gist.github.com/Dbof/178cf3c4b9eee423b293c51380cd311b
NTP is unencrypted by default. While MITMing it is kind of funny, it's not really something you should leave your machine open to
Tip: Start using NTS for NTP. Seriously, it only takes a few seconds to set up.
Mostly just for fun, though VLAN management is a lot easier with this setup. I'm also hoping to play around with Deep Packet Inspection (HakcerFactor's No-NOC networking series got me excited about the possibilities there).
For hardware I just took a machine I had lying around (r5 3600 + 2x4GB DDR4-3200 + GTX 1070) & threw a cheap 4-port NIC in it. Costed me about $20 off of eBay. Access Point is a Linksys E8450 (bought it last year as it was the first WiFi 6 router with OpenWRT support)
