It took more than a year, but I finally managed to move all of my contacts from centralised platforms onto the secure, private and decentralised SimpleX. It is now the only instant messenger installed on my devices. 🕺🏻

I'm trying to think how I would block simplex and the first thing that came to mind was looking up all known simplex servers and adding them to a block list, can't the exact same thing be done to chatmail servers?

I'm aware tor entry nodes can be added to a block list. I wish more projects would consider I2P, I wish it was more known in general it should fix the issue of blocking entry nodes/servers because everyone is a node, add traffic obfuscation on top of that and it should have been safe from the Iran internet blackout

I just confirmed the official simplex client has a hidden profile feature, right click a profile from the profile selection to bring up a hide profile option, you can then give it a password (i think each profile can be given a different password) and then to reveal it you type the full password into the profile search box

We should aim to use the most private secure and anonymous means possible, even if we don't need them personally because theres safety in numbers. If only people who's life was at risk from the state used simplex or something else with quantum resistant encryption then the users of those apps would make a pretty good shortlist for surveillance.

SimpleX bietet Funktionsumfang und Bedienkomfort auf Augenhöhe mit Signal, Threema oder Matrix – kombiniert mit der Sicherheit, dem Datenschutz und der Anonymität, auf die Whistleblower, Journalisten und Aktivisten angewiesen sind. Damit eignet er sich nicht nur für diese gefährdete Gruppen, sondern auch für dich.
Kommuniziere simpel mit SimpleX. :simplex:

Wenn über alternative Messenger diskutiert wird, dominiert eine begrenzte Auswahl die Debatte: Signal, Threema, Matrix. Doch eine Alternative verdient deutlich mehr Aufmerksamkeit: SimpleX. Nicht wegen modischer Versprechen, sondern aufgrund einer radikal anderen technischen Architektur, die fundamentale Schwachstellen herkömmlicher Systeme adressiert. [...]

为了确保没有开启“代理”也能交流，需要将“接收通过”、“发送通过”全部从smp10.simplex.im、rb2pbttoXXX.onion等规范为单一的smp.fedditlab.de，否则会导致未开启代理的一方无法收到/发送消息。

如图，通过删除+重新添加联系人，从图一切换到图二。

终于差不多配置完了SimpleX的基本

安装并修改了coturn服务，用了acme.sh和letsencrypt，动用cloudflare zone DNS权限API申请了证书通配证书“*.fedditlab.de”，增加https；
stun:ip:port1
turns:xxx:XXX@stun.fedditlab.de:port2
美化成
stun:?.fedditlab.de:port1
turns:xxx:XXX@?.fedditlab.de:port2

openssl s_client -connect ip:ssl_port -servername stun.fedditlab.de -showcerts验证证书

修改了docker smp-Server，注意修改ADDR需要sudo rm smp_configs/smp-server.ini，@ip改成了@smp.fedditlab.de，增加https；

修改了docker版Xftp-Server，注意修改ADDR需要sudo rm xftp_configs/file-server.ini，@ip改成了@xftp.fedditlab.de，增加https；

可以通过复制粘贴我的URL，添加我为联系人：

@decentral1se

Rn I'm arguing that its a safer choice because it is resistant against quantum attacks. But techlore has a review of simplex

@seymour

Privacy and anonymity is stronger the more people employ it. Strength in numbers as I said in another comment. If your advice is for only people fearing the govt to use simplex then anyone caught using simplex could be suspecting of evading the law.

#FLOSS #E2EE #PSA #Privacy #Anonymity #SimpleX

@novet

Security audits are important, simplex has one from Trail of Bits.

If the argument is that it wont get more security research done into it until there are more users then thats an argument to use it for non-critical communications and to promote it until it becomes more popular on merit and then gets more security research.

About signal: I have a second hand story that a direct action team was all arrested because one phone was compromised which listed every phone number in the signal group. Now signal has usernames which adds another step: the police have to subpoeana signal for the phone numbers associated with the username

@novet

Afaict simplex has all the same privacy and anonymity benefits as deltachat, and it might even have more features: simplex has calls, live-text, file transfer, voice messages, out of the box tor integration with client settings and onion address support, tag-sorting for chats, GUI theme customization and export including custom photo backgrounds.

Given that both simplex and deltachat have very similar threat models and architecture its difficult to see why anyone would choose to use deltachat over simplex when simplex has quantum resistance and deltachat does not

#FLOSS #E2EE #PSA #Privacy #Anonymity #SimpleX #DeltaChat #QuantumResistantEncryption

@novet

In that case it can be solved by incremental shifts to using it whereever possible until it becomes more popular on privacy and anonymity merit.

Otherwise you're employing a fallacy of the tragedy of the commons

Hi @delta
You wrote :
> With #chatmail user identities are cryptographic and reside on end user devices only

Is it similar as the solution developed by #Jami #hubzilla #simplex or #nostr ? A kind of p2p with relay network?

@Milk31

Well I'm using what's best *for now* most users and even devs don't seem to consider Store Now Decrypt Later as a threat even when I talk to them about it so I'm sticking with the messenger that is safest.

#FLOSS #E2EE #PSA #Privacy #SimpleX #QuantumResistantEncryption

@Milk31 @escape_velocity

It has no quantum resistant encryption to protect against Store Now Decrypt Later attacks

#FLOSS #E2EE #PSA #Privacy #SimpleX #DeltaChat #QuantumResistantEncryption

@rakoo @delta

I'm glad to hear that I will have to take a closer look. Classical encryption is still a deal breaker though because of Store Now Decrypt Later attacks, SimpleX uses the double ratchet algorithm developed by signal, maybe DeltaChat could too idk if that's helpful.

#FLOSS #E2EE #PSA #Privacy #Anonymity #SimpleX #Signal #DeltaChat #QuantumResistantEncryption

@delta Reminds me of SimpleX, if you can add quantum-resistant encryption and easy multi profile management and throwaway (incognito) profiles like simplex then the privacy and anonymity features would probably be on par and I'd consider switching to get away from the far right dev team.
