#signal #privacy #expiration
I can't believe that. There is no fonctionnality to delete messages (text, images, videos) older than, for example, 6 months, one year, two years, and so on.
Ephemeral message is not a solution: max is 4 weeks, and only for new messages, not oldest.
That's completely crazy isn't it?
When When When ?

Why?
Because this mobile phone is out since 2021.
I am angry and will choose another brand next time.

You're right, I was surprised too.

It seems, the issue came from AWS.

Hello,
Is there an issue with signal?

On website https://status.signal.org/ it is green.
on websites : https://downdetector.com/status/signal/ and https://downdetector.fr/status/signal/
I'm not alone :-)

Server connection: not possible
sending message: not possible (logical with server issue)

Remember 2019 so Imagine tomorrow, one day, a crazy decision of a duck, no more windows, outlook, facebook, whatsapp, amazon, and so on.
time to migrate from GAFAM:
- free OS (#linux), and others as mail like @protonprivacy hosted in swiss and so on the list can be long
https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/7/20904030/adobe-venezuela-photoshop-behance-us-sanctions

-When a computer starts and show this screen.
-When the program from windows to test if the computer can run W11 and says no
-You know how to start planning the end of support of W10, you plan a migration to linux 😉 🙂
The answer is easy isn't it?

@itsfoss
🤔 To use or try it windows is needed, isn't it?
My laptop uses linux since decades 😉
The best "Windows subsystem for linux " is to use linux itself not windows.
Any emulation has a consequence: less performance

There should not be no discussion about this.

to install the latest openvpn this is openvpn3
- command add-apt-repository not available, so:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
then
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:djpig/openvpn
- sudo apt-cache install openvpn3

Everything is now OK

start from 22.04.1 LTS
target 24.04.1 LTS
success however some issues were solved.
- "ubuntu desktop" in parameter not available
Solution: install ubuntu-desktop-minimal AND reboot
- remove link from /etc/resolv.conf to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf
I prefer manage myself this file
- openvpn no more there. I need it, this is must, see next toot
- install konsole not a real issue, but I prefer

I need to record (video and audio) from deskstop.(ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS). I tried several tools. The best (from my point of view of course) is "obs studio"
(OBS means Open Broadcaster Software)
"Free and open source software for video recording and live streaming."
greats !

Tout cela est bien vrai.
malheureusement la majorité des personnes n'apprennent qu'une fois tombé en bas du précipice et disent "ah si j'avais su" ....
D'autres, fort heureusement, font des sauvegardes locales et hors site , testent ces sauvegardes et sont bien heureux le jour venu.

Good security resolution for 2024 switch from whatsapp to signal?

WhatsApp really .. works as design
"By using the methods described above, attackers can passively query device information of any WhatsApp user. Thus attackers can determine whether users have companion devices and changes in the identity of such devices by continuously monitoring the device information."

- I have a personal web site and want to publish the #ecowatt status.
- An API was made available by @rte_france
- I wrote a php script that makes the job and create three images (png).
- I'm sharing if it can help.
- See https://github.com/Phil353556/ecowatt-example
Any remark welcome.
