- "I don't like where one of their board worked" (find someone high up in the cryptography ecosystem who hasn't been involved in this sort of thing somewhere in their career)
- "I don't like where their funding comes from" (US govt regularly funds secure software because they depend on it for their own operations, see: Tor)
- "An alarming number of people think their chats were leaked". It's easy to state things without sources. Also an alarming number of people think Facebook listens to them through their phones' mic. People are bad at opsec. Not news.
- "No reproducible builds. They closed a GitHub request from the community." Well, except Android is reproducible, and they explicitly state on that closed issue that they don't do feature requests via GitHub and asked the reporter to raise in the proper channel.
- "Telegram is the only service with reproducible builds". Telegram barely has encrypted chats, reproduce all you like, that doesn't make the chats secure. Signal has E2E encryption and verifiable builds for Android, that's a strictly better security position.
There is an approach to use tmux inside tmux without using different set of keybindings. That's what I have been using for couple years and I really like the setup. I have the following binding in my local machine:
bind -T root F3 \
set prefix None \;\
set key-table off \;\
set status-left '#[bg=#C678DD,fg=#2C323C](pass-#S)' \;\
set status-style bg=#E06C75 \;\
set window-status-current-style bg=magenta,fg=black \;\
refresh-client -S;
bind -T off F3 \
set -u prefix \;\
set -u key-table \;\
set -u status-left \;\
set -u status-style \;\
set -u window-status-current-style \;\
refresh-client -S;
This way, pressing F3 in local machine disables the prefix and I can use remote tmux as if it is local. When I want to get to local tmux, I press F3 once and I am back to local tmux. I use highlighting to easily show that local prefix is disabled.
when using `sway` from community you will get sway running with `wlc` compositor instead of `wlroots`.
`wlc` does not work with dynamic external monitor connection (which was a deal breaker for me, maybe other issues).
`wlroots` solves that.
I setup sway couple days ago from source (with wlroots instead of wlc) and agree with the statement that sway now has the best hidpi support on Linux. I have UHD 15.6 inch laptop monitor and use FullHD 21.5 inch external monitor.
Setting the scaling properly was super easy, and the performance is much better compared to my previous Xorg setup. The only thing missing for me currently is tray icons support.
