  Gitea and therefore Forgejo also have container registry functionality, I use that for private builds.

  I’ve only done my “is it even possible” research so far, but these look promising:

  Huh. I was just considering establishing a caching registry for other reasons. Ferb, I know what we’re going to do today!

  From the looks of it, the variety of ways you can purposefully or accidentally destroy your local database, and the several options to automatically delete messages, really gives me the feeling SimpleX is intended to be extremely disposable and deniable.

  After playing with it I just don’t see it being used for anything expected to be convenient or ongoing. Regarding the one device per account thing, I think the whole point is you just protect your one app, nobody is sneaking in your laptop or tablet, no remote leaks possible from a sync engine. On iOS you can link to a desktop app, but your phone must remain not just on, but in the app and on the pair screen. One twitch out, PC disconnects.

  Feels like something for journalists, whistleblowers, protesters, and all the bad ones. It’s a burner app for your burner phone.

  So what’s the opinion here between Signal and SimpleX?

  Signal gets all the attention, and seems more approachable but ties to a phone number which can be a big deal.

  SimpleX ties to nothing but I could absolutely see people I know fucking it up and wondering where their “account” went.

  So, Signal as an common man’s adoptable compromise and SimpleX to nerd out with full “opsec” and disposability? That about right?
