  • Why is Signal almost universally defended whenever another security flaw is discovered? They’re not secure, they don’t address security issues, and their business model is unsustainable in the long term.

    But, but, if you have malware “you have bigger problems”. But, but, an attacker would have to have “physical access” to exploit this. Wow, such bullshit. Do some of you people really understand what you’re posting?

    But, but, “windows is compromised right out of the box”. Yes…and?

    But, but, “Signal doesn’t claim to be secure”. Fuck off, yes they do.

    But, but, “just use disk encryption”. Just…no…WTF?

    Anybody using Signal for secure messaging is misguided. Any on of your recipients could be using the desktop app and there’s no way to know unless they tell you. On top of that, all messages filter through Signal’s servers, adding a single-point-of-failure to everything. Take away the servers, no more Signal.






  • To be honest, I don’t know if Proton Drive will do what you want or not. It probably should, if you both share to the same folder, and make that folder “always available offline”.

    But if I understand you correctly, I would use Syncthing to do this. Just set up your phones to share the DCIM folder with each other, and as soon as one of you takes a picture, it will copy over to the other phone (as long as you have a data connection or wifi).
