Yeah with a docker container running 24/7 and a phone app it’s much better. they also have a setting where deleted files on phone are simply moved to archive on the server.

Having setup both, ive found syncthing to be much simpler. I would probably not go through the headache of setting up https and databases for next cloud again…

How can you ever learn the risks of exposing ports if all answers are “if you don’t know you shouldn’t do it”?

The post explicitly recommends ONLY exposing the wireguard port, not 80/443/22 which one should usually not do anyways. Very different things!

Yeah it’s good to have a system separate from the main server. It’s always so frustrating having to debug wireguard issues cause there’s some problem with docker

Ssh behind a wire guard VPN server is technically more secure if you don’t have a key-only login, but a pain if the container goes down or if you need to access the server without access to wireguards VPN client on your device.

Do you program domino logic on a electric board or on a computer?

So it’s the assets of which game?

FO4 settlement mechanism is amazing. It’s literally a 1st person city builder. I can’t think of any game similar to that yet.

Sorry I was trying the parse the “I’m” at the end of your comment

Use syncthing to sync and monitor your backups.

Syncthing backup server for your important files.

Cloudflare, namecheap, GoDaddy, domain.com, they all offer dns I think. Some of them are supported by Dyndns; you can find a list of supported providers.

And for the old school folks willing to pay, there’s Discourse.

When Whatsapp was sold to Facebook in 2014, they had 55 employees. Considering the app had considerably less features and did not focus so heavily on encryption and privacy, Signal can be considered even leaner than Whatsapp.

Now, for the actual breakdown, they have at least the following technical teams: desktop, android, iOS, server, calls (ringrtc), core (libsignal). If we assume a team has usually 5 people (manager, Sr SWE, Jr SWE, QA, maybe PM), that’s already 30 people. On top of that, they have an in house support team (don’t know the size but I wouldn’t be surprised if they have 10ppl on the payroll considering the number of signal users) and management (CEO, CTO, CSO, VP), which will quickly add up to around 50.

Sorry I misframed it. I mean that since there’s no need to reveal phone numbers, there could be an opportunity for spammers to increase spam by creating many accounts, and Signal should preemptively find ways where such spams could be reduced. However, I realized after posting that the article says we still need to sign up to signal with a phone number. However, there’s still the risk of impersonation (by writing someones username with tiny changes) and people trying to add vulnerable users by username (which they might be using on other platforms) instead of phone number.
