Sent this to @bthall via #Wire ... he's younger than my kids, so he might not know about those days.
-
@strypey So there's a lot to unpack in that document. The #Session onion routing protocol involves using a #blockchain called #Loki to make it difficult for an adversary to control a significant fraction of the nodes and prevent exposing the IP addresses (and therefore identities) of a user and his/her contacts to the same person or group. (As you noticed, Session is not yet using onion requests.)
There's also swarms and attachments and message storage (including attachments), online vs offline messages, multiple device support, spam resistance, a modified version of #Signal's encryption protocol, group chats (3-500 member "closed" groups are end-to-end encrypted like the rest of Session; "open" groups are not, and require an account on a special group server [self-hostable])
Note that all this stuff happens under the covers. It seems that Session will handle most of it without the user ever seeing it. I'm going to query some family members and see whether any would be willing to try this as a secondary channel (for now #Wire is our primary channel). Just adding offline messages is a clear advantage over #Jami, but the lack of audio & video chats is going to limit its usefulness.

Despite being invited to ride along on store trips in the early evening, I almost always decline. I want to be available on #Wire for a videochat with #GS-3
-
Weather and traffic conditions took what is normally a one-hour trip to my sister's house and made it more like 3-5 hours, so we did not go. Some of us will try to get together tomorrow at the same place.
I was initially pretty angry, because conditions were better when I was ready to begin our trip (3.5 hours earlier) and the delay was avoidable. But that dissipated when I talked to my grandson #GS3 via #Wire videochat.
-
"Talking" (via #Wire text chat) with all three kids. We're discussing ways to speed up server delivery to #sonTwo by using in-family resources.
-
Trying to get through to #GD1 and #GD2 for a videochat on #Wire. The younger of the two has an hour until bedtime, so if they don’t pick up soon, we’ll have to do it another day.
-
Wrote a book on #Wire, so that @amic would be caught up on all that's happening.
-
#GD2 (age 8) must have had trouble getting up for school. She used to send me messages on #Wire as late as 21:00 US-Central. Now, she sends her good night message promptly at 19:00 +/- 5 minutes.
-
@kelbot Since my IRL contacts are pretty invested in #Wire, I'm interested in what you find.
-
A telephone intensive day. Conference call, follow up calls from all over the country. Mark called about a tech issue his office is facing. I told him our office has the same issue, as yet unresolved. J-O called to ask my opinion on some comments he made during the conference call (and a follow up e-mail he sent to management in HQ). Missed #sonTwo’s call because I was on the phone with K and texting with S (both are on medical leave).
Called son back.
#Wire messages with both #GD1 and #GD2, both of whom are enjoying their school year so far.
-
I should find my notes about my experiences with #Ring / #Jami and #Matrix. I have not written any notes about #Wire (which I use daily) or about #Tox or #Briar (easy; no contacts will test either, so I have no experiences with them).
-
Hmm. I was sure I saw this feature, too.
I recorded some audio to send to my granddaughter #GD2, but my #Wire for #Android app doesn’t have an upload button for it. I know it is still there on the Wire for #iOS app.
-
@amic Just got in and opened #Wire.
-
I talked to my “no answer” kid ( #Daddy_A ) for a few minutes recently because of birthdays. It was good, but uncomfortable. I ended it pretty quickly.
Our last actual phone call before now was Christmas of 2017. (But we do communicate over #Wire regularly and sometimes via #SMS.)
-
@rw A few family members complain that I can’t see their calendar events, but the biggest annoyance I have with not being a #Facebook user is all the people that say “did you see what cousin so and so just said?” and then stick their phones in my face.
If I wanted to see all that random garbage, I would still have an account.
Yes, but how can we get in touch with you?
Let me count the ways:
* call
* text
* !XMPP
* #Wire
* #Ring / #Jami
* e-mail
* in person
* contact any of my sons, nephews, siblings, my youngest niece, the cousin that lives in TX, or my mom and ask them to forward
-
Because we were both doing maintenance around the house, #sonTwo and I split our call into three. I messsed up and put the part in backwards, so I'll have to redo my task. Family day at Home Depot, I guess.
#sonOne was at work, so we had no phone call this week.
#Daddy_A and I chatted on #Wire at the same time as Mark and I were conversing via SMS.
Finally, co-worker S called and we were on the phone about two hours and forty minutes (talking about $EMPLOYER and life after $EMPLOYER).
Full day. I'm going to go to bed now. #TZAF
-
Good morning. I’ve already had my daily #YoCo ( #yogurt / #yoghurt and #coffee ), navigated around a online forum conflict, had a couple of personal conversations over #Wire and #XMPP, been greeted by an excited three year old (sister’s granddaughter), and tuned in to @sir’s coding stream. #TZAG
-
@bob #Tox was one of four things (Tox, #Ring, #Matrix, #Wire) I tried to get family members to try out a couple of years back. None of them ever did, so I cannot say whether Tox is useful (being that I have never actually used it).
-
@geniusmusing #NextCloud is planned to be part of the next generation of FOS (family online services), but the whole thing will have to wait until I have *time and energy to set it up (unless I can persuade #sonOne or @amic to set up and run it).
* time and energy — I was discussing (on #Wire) the greatly reduced energy and motivation that three years plus of travel and overtime has brought with #sonTwo and #Daddy_A and @amic earlier today.
-
@geniusmusing #Wire is currently not #federated (though the client and possibly the server are now FOSS), but it offers an easy noob-friendly encrypted chat. Out of the ones I’ve tried, this is the one that I’ve been able to get some of my family members to use. (Some of them also used #Ring, but there were some problems with a version upgrade forcing people to re-request connection to their contacts, and none of my contacts made it past that.)
