Signal uses the same E2E encryption as WhatsApp and is also not Open-Source. One could argue that not being owned by Meta makes it inherently more private, to which I would somewhat agree.
The most private Messaging-App would be some kind of federated Chat, like Jabber or Matrix, that you or a collection of family/friends can self-host.
Unfortunately, nobody uses those ¯\(ツ)/¯
Hosting the images directly on the lemmy/kbin instance creates imo unnecessary traffic to the servers. I don’t know if admins can disable selfhosting images, but considering the low-powered machines almost every instance is currently hosted on, I would assume it would be in everyones self-interest to outsource image hosting (at least for now).
On Jerboa(List View) the link is on the thumbail, maybe it’s the same in the browser version. Keep in mind that the article on heise is in german.
Does this also work in a collaborative way, for example two people editing the same note? I would guess that file locking could be an issue.
Some of my colleagues swear by logseq, but I personally haven’t used it. If the upcoming sync feature would be available to self-host, I might consider switching to it, as it would combine multiple services that we are currently using.
Why are there no sidewalks?
