I want my secure comm codebase to be at least source available for verification, preferably open source.
asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev · 47 pts · 1y
No thanks. I don't see the source code anywhere.
Zoldyck@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 1y
Is it open source?
cosmicrookie@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 1y
The thing about messaging apps is, that they are worth nothing, unless the people you want to message also are using it.
marcianojones@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
This i know. But the majority will not move by itself. I told my fam that im no longer on whatsapp and if they want to get in contact they should either msg me through signal sms or just call.

Sorry, it's not worth much if it's closed source.
marcianojones@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1y
I dont think its open source. But if foss is what you are after then this might not be for you.

Apparently, they are considering going open source.

I am also considering farting on the mother of everyone who reads this comment.
Emperor@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 1y
Good luck with that - her urn is on my safe.
Crackhappy@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 1y
That does not make her un-fartable.
Emperor@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 1y
It makes it trickier and you won't know which urn is hers.
Crackhappy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Hmmm. Now I just need to know how many urns you have.
NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 1y
You know what they say "one good urn deserves another"

We have Matrix.
paperBark@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 1y
Matrix, XMPP, SimpleX, Molly (signal fork without closed source blobs) lots of good opensource options out there.

@marcianojones
Who is behind it?
knux@fedia.io · 1 pts · 1y
Skred is supported by the french radio "Skyrock" (who also created Skyblog on 2002, a free-speech blog platform, closed recently). We developed Skred as a secure messaging app to provide a sovereign service.

I cannot tell you.
Crackhappy@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 1y
Then what use are you?
marcianojones@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
You can look for yourself cant you.

Use https://lemmy.ml/c/simplex https://simplex.chat/ European (minority US VC), OpenSource, most secure and not centralized and multiple Profiles, routing over multiple servers Its what skred aims to be: "you don’t need any email address or phone number to use it. Skred is open. No subscription is necessary, there’s no operator, no SIM card and no tracking." https://simplex.chat/

Comparing to SimpleX, Skred is operating without servers for exchanging messages via the WebRTC protocol. A signaling server is used to send pushes to devices which will be able to established a peer-to-peer connection and do their stuffs ^^
rirus@feddit.org · 1 pts · 1y
So it cant recieve messages if your chat partner went offline after sending it while you were offline?
knux@fedia.io · 1 pts · 1y
You are right. Both partners needs to be online at the same time. That's why the sender will provoke a push that will wake up the recipient when it becomes online. This recipient will in turn cause a push that will wake the sender and then the connection will be established. Usage of WebRTC is explained here: https://www.skred.app/skred-peer-to-peer-secure-communications-using-webrtc/

"It's French"...
I'm sorry. Maybe it's alright, but that doesn't inspire confidence.
