If you know nodejs pretty well, try https://wildduck.email

Interesting that it is using x-ray, seems like x-ray is still using PhantomJS as the plugin, is PhantomJS deprecated? Would it be using Puppeteer instead?
Hmmm, what happened to the WebRTC using p2p method, where as the member increase so does the bandwidth? Like torrent?
Re:Jitsi Architecture – legacy desktop application (2011) on Thursday April 02, 2020 @10:12AM (#22759145)
So as the group members increased it also increases network usage on the SFU server?
>As for e2e encryption over webrtc via an SFU - yes, this is possible, but its currently very messy (wasm video encoding and encryption streamed over an SFU-bound datachannel with full mesh distribution of the encryption key). There are plans to implement "Insertable Streams" which you will be able to transform (e.g. encrypt) which will allow this to work without the hacks.

So currently Jitsi meet the one on the web site is NOT e2e encrypted?

Very interesting. I have heard that from some people as well. Any tips on how to get started in *nix/FreeBSD/Mac ecosystem? Last I tried was in mono. Any tips appreciated.
Time to make some Spanish ham!
One can always rely on cordova/phonegap type of app with a C++ plugin to address this issue.

Personally, not having web app storing large amount of data is a good thing.

Has anyone try to go the site.

Re:End-to-end encryption in the browser on Monday March 23, 2020 @12:04PM (#22665294)
Well on the site it was said

"We encrypt the content with that random key. In this case, we only encrypt the content once with the random key so we don’t need an iv and can leave it filled with 0 (I hope…)."

Anyone think that is a good idea?

>Personally I preferred Stripe Checkout over Elements, because they take care about the look and feel.

Stripe Checkout force you to gave client email to stripe. With Elements you can just use stripe for card processing (with zipcode of course).

There was an all you can eat sushi place, they charge you for the sushi that you couldn't finish. I thought that was a pretty good way to charge.
Wonder how that hold up against E-Ink reader (almost like paper type of readers).
Maybe these countries are just dealing with prisoner's dilemma.

Any one knows the progress of dendrite? Have not used matrix/riot for a while. It was too heavy to run awhile back. Hopefully they make the client and server more light weight.

There are many cases of people who get organ transplant inherit the memory of the donor. I have heard in more than one places or another. A simple search on the web will yield this:

Here is a link: https://www.medicaldaily.com/can-organ-transplant-change-rec...

We still don't know squats about how memory are stored. And cases like that can be a valid argument for memory and consciousness being a non-local phenomenon. Kinda like how client-server model in CS. ;-) . Are our brain just a browser?

>I know the choice to do business with China is complex and nuanced. But I suggest prioritizing the moral implications--both to the world and to China's citizens--of a Chinese government with ever-increasing power when considering to what extent one should do business with China.
