If you’ve got a nextcloud somewhere, you already have everything you need running. Install required extension and login in antenna pod. Works nicely, can recommend it.
- Comment on Life Without a SIM Card 2 weeks ago:
Good point. The author argues that:
they buy the device on your behalf so your real name never gets attached to it.
However it is relatively easy to attribute a sim card to person simply based on its usage. You also leave the same movement patterns on the mobile network. I don’t see a benefit here compared to just using a sim card from a service provider that does not sell their customer data.

Bummer… no mention of the drawbacks whatsoever.
- Comment on Brazilian court gives Apple 90 days to allow sideloading on iOS. 5 weeks ago:
Hopefully the court was clever enought to specify that the side loading must not be more difficult than installing via the store. Apple will for sure make it as complicated and user hostile as possible so they fulfill the ruling without having any practical impact.

Learned something new. Thank you!
- Comment on Why doesn't Signal forbid third party clients or at least offer a client certification program to ensure security? 5 months ago:
Signal forks can have unexpected behaviours like retaining deleted messages and also they don’t get updated at the same rate that Signal get updated.
There are ways to save messages before they are deleted even if the stock app is used. Do not ever rely on this feature to work in a “save” way.
Every couple of years I hear a story about hackers disturbing signal with backdoors, which would be impossible or very hard to be done If they blocked third party clients. (Ex: 1)
That is a problem the users who prefer 3rd party clients have to deal with. Obviously if you care enough to not use the official build, you of cause have to take care of using a trustworthy source. That is not “your problem” though.
The amount of people who use third party Signal clients are very few anyway.
That sounds a lot like “I don’t use it, so none else needs it either” argument. In my opinion, none of your arguments above are a good reason to combat 3rd party clients.
