Hi,

I'm looking for a E2EE and decentralized (or self hosted) videoconferencing that would have the following feature

  • video or voice-only call
  • share screen
  • files transfer (optional)
  • text chat

( all of it E2EE )

I'm considering Jitsi meet, that seem the meet those requirements

Do you know better alternatives or do you have remarks about Jitsi ?

Thanks.

Hi,

SimpleX github conversations closed ??

I wanted to post this as a conversation then convert into an issues on github but it seem the github conversation of this project are closed... (we can't create new one) Do you know why ?


I've installed simpleX onfez android phones. it work smoothly. but for one of those phone (Android 14) the messages are only received and send when I restart the apps then no more. in Your settings\settings\Network & servers\network connection

The WiFi dot is red !

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

 

To the developer working on SimpleX,

Why are you still using Microsoft Github ? (and by extend Reddit ! )

I had myself a question for the maintainers. I was planning to use the discussions and to do so, create an account :'( But it seem that Microsoft really doesn't like Tor:

Cheers.

 

Hi,

Does anyone, know if SimpleX plan to embed Tor ? ( To not need to install Orbot )

Thanks.

Thank you very much @jet@hackertalks.com & @Quexotic@beehaw.org

The EFF article is really interesting for everyone. ( I was aware of this )

Indeed no one should assume that his packets are not intercepted along the road. But conceive an software that on top of that, specifically route the traffic trough his server not make it better (on the opposite in my opinion)

Even if the owner of those server do not process the data... ( This is relying on blind trust) those servers might be breached. (in addition to the systemic data recording, like in the EFF article )

Let put it simple, is SimpleX offer on the actual Internet (can't wait the next gen, GNUnet or anything similar) a similar level of Trust & privacy than Briar ?

 

Hi,

I've just tested SimpleX. Great piece of software, all the options are really well thought ...

Sadly it's not P2P (all the messages pass by servers... ) is there a way to make-it P2P ?

Thanks.

A little update.

I've just tested simplex on Android.

it's very well thought out ! The features make sense. UNFORTUNATELY it's not P2P ! all the messages pass by their servers :'( with Briar it's P2P.... weirdly they claim their way is better than P2P ! any comment on that ?

In my point of view, if messages are stored somewhere it's mean the can be process[^1] !

Cheers.

Hi,

I'm looking for an instant messaging ( IM ) ~~apps~~ software/protocol that run on Android and computer

and meet the following requirements :

  • Open source !
  • E2EE
  • Messages are send in direct ! (not passing by a server)
  • handle group
  • Truly private ! ( That's the tricky part )

 

The closest that I've found is Briar

  • +can work without internet ! (bluetooth, local wifi, files !)
  • + use TOR
  • - Mutual party have to exchange key (or your can introduce someone)
  • - sending media suck for now, poor image quality
  • - no call or voice messaging

 

I've been looking for alternatives:

  • ~~Session~~
    • Sadly it keep ALL the conversation into server !!! so it's a no go.
  • speek
    • I didn't try it yet, any feedback ?
  • simplex
    • it look very promising ! (didn't tried it yet)
    • + seem to handle multiple profile in one !
    • + do not require that both party send an invitation !
    • ~~! I didn't found (yet) if the messages are send in direct or pass by a server..~~
      It's not P2P all the messages pass by servers.. too bad.

All post about alternatives or experience with the one that I cited are welcome.
