This is a reality of any software. Those requirements exists by themselves or in some combinations, but once you want them all, the difficulty grows exponentially.

The Sunbird model works. Their model isn’t that hard to replicate, and have the steps laidout for you to copy. However, it doesn’t offer some perks you want with limitations. For example, you can only have 5 devices linked to 1 Signal account. There is no 2FA, fine grained access control, nor audit log. The search functionality is not particularly good.

There are ways to overcome those limitations but you will need some tech savvy dude with proper security backgroud/training to design, implement, and manage that. It steps into semi-custom developement and integration, and be warned, it is hard to done right, especially anything with security.

Say your organization is doing something like Amnesty International (at least sounds awlful lot similar to me), you want a solution that

• encryption
• shared inbox between trusted members
• minimal meta-data leak to providers (service providers and network node operators)
  • hide who is sending/receiving
• easy to search/indexed
• fine grained access control
• audit log of who responed to who
• multi-device
• single stable address/contact point (how “stable” you need it to be?)
• 2fa?
• easy to use

Am I correct? To be honest, it is quite a tall order. I can’t really think of a solution right now. Email is definitely out of the question because you can’t hide who is sending and receiving the email.

ALPR already exist. The situation won’t get better or worst, no matter what license you release it.

I don’t understand why you need encryption. It seems you are concerned about access control and metadata on the security side. If that’s the case, it is more advisable to host your own email server. However, be aware that once the email is sent, your recipient email system may be hosted by other email providers that you might not desire. You can reduce the metadata leaks by using encryption, but as you are aware, not everybody kin to use it. And to be effective, it must be used by both sides.

I played with something in Zoho before. Forgot what it actually named. In essence, you create a group, then you add members to that group. The group would have an email address. Anyone can send email into the address and everybody in the group will be notified (like forwarded). I believe members can also use the group address to reply.

Hey, I still got one.

I tried, and failed hard. When I bought my domain 10 years ago, I didn’t put efforts in reseaching domain reputation and got a .xyz tld. Now that tld smmes to be abused by spammer and also affecting my mail which go straight into spam folder.

I thought Google Workspace mailboxes aren’t scanned?

Use separate profile for different devices. Make a group when you chat with others.

Being privacy consious and the act of requesting to had your info removed is just put you on their radar as “normies” doesn’t care.

They both are bad in privacy in one way or the other. WhatsApp is collecting vast trove of data about you, though it can’t read the chat itself. Telegram doesn’t have end-to-end encryption enabled by default, means anyone have access to the server can read your chat history, though you’re last subject to data collection.

If you’re doing illicit activity though, WhatsApp is better than Telegram because the chat contents are the evidence those law enforcements are going after, not the connection. They can’t arrest you because you make friends with a criminal, but they absolutely can because you have a criminal action recorded in chat history.

Run Wireshark on the client to see if you actually got the reply.

I recently switched to NextDNS. I used to run my own AdGuard Home with multiple DNS provider as upstream.

If I understand correctly, you want a two component setup. A PWA client for you to read the mail, and a server acts as IMAP client, fetches mails from all you mailboxes. The server will expose an API for tge PWA to access mail content. When new mail arrives, the server push a beacon via the Push API. The PWA would fetch the sender and title, and display a notification. If you clicks it, only then the PWA will fetch the body.

After a quick glance of the demo, I think SnappyMail fit the bill? It seems can be installed as PWA, and my browser does ask me if I want to give it push notification permission. However, I’m not too sure if the fetch logic happens as I laid out.

I asked a similar question before. Some recommended Revolut. Haven’t try yet tho.

Or better, run your own instance, rather than a VPN.

Ain’t google needs phone number to get an account?

Got constant invalid iOS player response lately. Guess this doesn’t work anymore.

Despite the bad title, the article itself is worth a read, though the topics covered are being discussed long ago, but serves as a good reminder.

A point the author raises is about data security in end-to-end encrypted communications when using with AI. Remember that end-to-end encryption is specifically protecting data in transit? It doesn’t do anything after the data is delivered to the end device. Even before the age of “AI”, the other end can do whatever he wants on that piece of data. He can shared the communication with another person next to him which the sender might or might not know of, upload it to social media, or hand it to the law enforcement. And the “AI” the tech industry going forward is just an other participant of the communication built right into the device. It can do exactly the same as any recipients wants to. It can attempt to try to (badly) summarize the communication for you, submit that communication to any third party, or even report you for CSAM as it determines your engaging in “grooming behavior.”

And the author also asked the question, “Who does your AI agent actually work for?” However, this question is already been answered by Windows Recall, the prime example of an AI agent. It collects data in an attempt to “help” us recall things in the past, but it will answer questions from anyone have access to it. Be it, you, your family/friend, or even law enforcement. The answer is anyone.

Libretube with HLS experimental on. You need to refresh VPN location constantly if you use one.
