ricochet is a metadata-free chat app with file transfers - it has been audited and uses onion routing in a novel way.

I don't really understand the point of this project or similar efforts like securedrop, while understanding their motivation just fine. moving information from point A to point B is a very, very small part of the whistleblowing process

awesome - I enjoyed reading up on your work! stuff like this makes me wonder if variable fonts will become a popular method for animating certain things on the web (maybe in the context of UI kits like font awesome, ionicons, etc). it still

what's the difference between this and react-vue?[1] I would prefer to be using weex, but that project has seemed stagnant ever since it became part of the apache foundation. or at least, they haven't really updated their site or

awesome. this is clearly an early proof-of-concept but I'll keep my eye on the project. I'm also hopeful for weex (like react native for vue). despite moving from alibaba to become an apache foundation incubator project, it has a

it's kind of like the viability of unpopular social networks. people want to be where their friends are. if more people I knew used perl6, I would use perl6, because it's a beautiful language.

ricochet[1] is my preferred option for situations that would require something like tor messenger (which is very few situations, but I digress). I like that the UX has a built-in threat model (e.g. "do you really want to click on this?

awful advice. use a threat model, which may or may not include commercial VPN services. I can think of many situations in which I'd prefer a commercial VPN provider to a private one, or even to running meek on a tor bridge. there are a
