<p>Happy Birthday to <a href="/tags/instantmessaging/" rel="tag">#InstantMessaging</a> and <a href="/tags/realtimecommunication/" rel="tag">#RealTimeCommunication</a> with <a href="/tags/xmpp/" rel="tag">#XMPP</a>!</p><p>Emerged from the <a href="/tags/jabber/" rel="tag">#Jabber</a> <a href="/tags/community/" rel="tag">#community</a> in 1999 and originally designed to provide an open and <a href="/tags/decentralised/" rel="tag">#decentralised</a> alternative to <a href="/tags/icq/" rel="tag">#ICQ</a> and <a href="/tags/msn/" rel="tag">#MSN</a>, XMPP evolved to an independent alternative for todays <a href="/tags/chat/" rel="tag">#chat</a> apps.<br><a href="/tags/rtc/" rel="tag">#rtc</a> <a href="/tags/whatsapp/" rel="tag">#whatsapp</a> <a href="/tags/signal/" rel="tag">#signal</a></p>

<p>Lately I&#x27;m having issues with <a href="/tags/signal/" rel="tag">#Signal</a>. Messages are delivered up to 2 hours later. It looks like it happens more often on mobile networks compared to WiFi, but delays are experienced on the latter too.</p><p>What would be a valid IM app alternative? No 🇺🇸 products preferably.</p><p><a href="/tags/instantmessaging/" rel="tag">#InstantMessaging</a></p>

<p>As a Muslim researching about <a href="/tags/cybersecurity/" rel="tag">#cybersecurity</a>, I wondered: what does Islam teach about privacy?</p><p>Turns out, a lot. Here&#x27;s a hadith from 1400 years ago: “When a man peeps into your house without permission, and you throw a stone at him and injure his eye, you will not be blamed.”</p><p>Digital surveillance is the modern peeping. Your phone is your house.</p><p>I wrote about this + my journey from Telegram fanboy to Signal advocate here:</p><p><a href="https://kaifisahil.substack.com/p/your-chats-are-not-really-private?r=6p8e80" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="kaifisahil.substack.com/p/your-chats-are-not-really-private?r=6p8e80"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">kaifisahil.substack.com/p/your</span><span class="invisible">-chats-are-not-really-private?r=6p8e80</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/privacy/" rel="tag">#Privacy</a> <a href="/tags/signal/" rel="tag">#Signal</a> <a href="/tags/encryption/" rel="tag">#Encryption</a> <a href="/tags/islam/" rel="tag">#Islam</a> <a href="/tags/digitalrights/" rel="tag">#DigitalRights</a></p>

<p>If you want to send me a private DM, my <a href="/tags/signal/" rel="tag">#Signal</a> username is drahardja.81.</p><p>Please send me an @ here too, so I know it’s actually you.</p>

<p>Sudden realization that <a href="/tags/signal/" rel="tag">#Signal</a> and <a href="/tags/tailscale/" rel="tag">#Tailscale</a> are, at a really high level and if you have really bad eyesight, essentially &quot;the same thing”.</p><p>Per recent boost about how Signal is largely just key exchange and contact lookup. What else is largely &quot;just” moderating key exchange plus a bunch of endpoint client work?? Exactly!</p><p>For the hard of reading: this is 50-75% joke.</p>

<p>End-to-End Encryption is good but metadata protection counts as much. Names, group descriptions and memberships, avatars, who talks to whom ... </p><p>Both <a href="/tags/deltachat/" rel="tag">#deltachat</a> and <a href="/tags/signal/" rel="tag">#signal</a> go to great length to protect all the metadata that WhatsApp grants itself gratuitously. <a href="/tags/matrix/" rel="tag">#Matrix</a> stores similar scales of metadata on their servers, even if you can choose which server stores it.</p><p>Everything is better than <a href="/tags/telegram/" rel="tag">#Telegram</a> which additionally stores message contents in all group chats/channels and most 1:1 chats.</p>

<p>For my White Town band chat, I&#x27;m thinking of bunging <a href="/tags/phpbb/" rel="tag">#phpBB</a> up on my own webspace. At the minute we have a <a href="/tags/whatsapp/" rel="tag">#WhatsApp</a> group but obviously that&#x27;s yet another Meta product. I think running a lil forum just for the six people in the band will be cool! </p><p>Mast Geeks - is this a good or bad idea? </p><p>Have you got a better replacement for WhatsApp that isn&#x27;t <a href="/tags/signal/" rel="tag">#Signal</a> or <a href="/tags/telegram/" rel="tag">#Telegram</a>?</p>

<p>I&#x27;ve seen a lot of people talking about leaving <a href="/tags/whatsapp/" rel="tag">#WhatsApp</a>.

<p>The Fourier Transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a function of time (or space) into a function of frequency. It decomposes a complex signal into its constituent sinusoidal components, each with a specific frequency, amplitude, and phase. This is particularly useful in many fields, such as signal processing, physics, and engineering, because it allows for analysing the frequency characteristics of signals. The Fourier Transform provides a bridge between the time and frequency domains, enabling the analysis and manipulation of signals in more intuitive and computationally efficient ways. The result of applying a Fourier Transform is often represented as a spectrum, showing how much of each frequency is present in the original signal.</p><p>\[\Large\boxed{\boxed{\widehat{f}(\xi) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x)\ e^{-i 2\pi \xi x}\,\mathrm dx, \quad \forall\xi \in \mathbb{R}.}}\]</p><p>Inverse Fourier Transform:<br>\[\Large\boxed{\boxed{ f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \widehat f(\xi)\ e^{i 2 \pi \xi x}\,\mathrm d\xi,\quad \forall x \in \mathbb R.}}\] </p><p>The equation allows us to listen to mp3s today.

<p>WRT <a href="/tags/discord/" rel="tag">#Discord</a>, there&#x27;s an effectively unsolvable conundrum we can&#x27;t really face, folks. We&#x27;d all like the high moral standards that are found in the <a href="/tags/opensource/" rel="tag">#OpenSource</a> community, when done right: nobody screwing each other over for their PII, and other forms of leverage (walled-garden lock-in). Geeks get this, normies don&#x27;t. (This gulf is very hard to cross, IMHO, without resorting to actual educational curriculum explaining it in schools.)</p><p>But then we have conflicting desires: we *also* want the buttery smoothness to a secure messaging ecosystem - total convenience, total functionality, *complete with a level-playing-field, &quot;Net Neutral&quot; infrastructure to run it on*, with no lobbied government or tech-bro interference skewing the traffic rules (QOS Rules). Good luck with that one, without strong gov&#x27;t control, and solid grassroots lobbying behind it.</p><p>Lets be honest: <a href="/tags/signal/" rel="tag">#Signal</a> is so great *because tens of millions of dollars were charitably spent on it*. Moxie didn&#x27;t do his genius work *for free*. Where are tens of millions of *more* dollars going to come from, to make a Discord alternative? Would that be nowhere? Look, there&#x27;s no quick and easy answers to Discord enshittifying. I&#x27;ve looked at <a href="/tags/xmpp/" rel="tag">#XMPP</a>, <a href="/tags/matrix/" rel="tag">#Matrix</a>, <a href="/tags/deltachat/" rel="tag">#Deltachat</a>, <a href="/tags/discourse/" rel="tag">#Discourse</a>, <a href="/tags/flarum/" rel="tag">#Flarum</a>, <a href="/tags/phpbb/" rel="tag">#PHPBB</a>, <a href="/tags/zulip/" rel="tag">#Zulip</a>, <a href="/tags/mattermost/" rel="tag">#Mattermost</a>, etc. and *each has its warts*. You&#x27;ll dislike each of them, for different reasons. Each paints itself into a different corner. *There were no tens of millions of dollars upfront, at an early design phase, overlooked by qualified Computer Scientists, to prevent this, in each and every case.* <a href="/tags/irc/" rel="tag">#IRC</a> doesn&#x27;t bear mention in this comparison. None is the perfect replacement or answer. *None had those tens of millions of dollars which Signal had.*</p><p>Alas, they don&#x27;t stand a chance to be the all-singing, all-dancing solutions that the techbros can finance, *along with their predictable, rotten lack of a moral compass to accompany the slickness.* Every non-geek teenager will side with the techbros, owing to 1) convenience, and 2) that&#x27;s where their friends are, *which mean the world to a teenager*.</p><p>So in summary, we are doomed by our own psychological limitations, as a demographic. The psychological predators - the techbros - can&#x27;t help but prey on the normies, and the normies can&#x27;t help but turn to the predators, who at least offer convenience, if no other thing. And the geeks who have a moral compass stand in the middle, ignored by-and-large, feeling anxious and powerless, not having any tens of millions of dollars behind their altruism.</p><p><a href="/tags/infosec/" rel="tag">#infosec</a></p><p><a href="/tags/cassandrasyndrome/" rel="tag">#CassandraSyndrome</a> <a href="/tags/actuallyautistic/" rel="tag">#actuallyAutistic</a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@autistics" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>autistics</span></a></span></p>
