Holy based. I always thought it’d be funny to get into a little cyber war with someone, so thanks for the laugh.
Using podman-compose, I usually have a section like:
volumes:
- ./local_folder:/container/folder
Specifically, I have to use either an absolute path or a relative path with “./” to prevent it from treating a directory as a volume name.
Pretty good privacy. It’s an unexciting name for a public/private key encryption program.
I believe WhatsApp uses the same protocol (or at least the same crypto algorithms), though I’m not sure if they were involved in its development.
Good point on the metadata. Signal has the “sealed sender” thing, which (I think) helps with the metadata problem somewhat.
My practical answer: Nah, it’s probably not going to nuke your files.
My software engineer answer: Never trust us to not make a mistake. It doesn’t take much to accidentally nuke a directory.
As the other commenter mentioned, your best bet is being selective about which services you use to communicate.
Unencrypted (plain text) is the worst, since data is easy for a third party to sniff (think of it as a wiretap). For example, HTTP and SMS are unencrypted.
Encrypted is a good start, since third parties can’t sniff your traffic, but the server handling your communications can usually see everything that passes through it. For example, HTTPS is an SSL-encrypted variant of HTTP, and services like Facebook messenger are encrypted, but Facebook can still see all of your messages, since it’s stored on their servers.
End to End Encrypted (E2EE) is the golden standard. Only the endpoints (i.e. you and your friend) can see the content of your messages, and all traffic is encrypted in a way that even the server cannot view it. Signal is end to end encrypted, as are many other modern messaging platforms (WhatsApp is E2EE in theory, as is Google Meet, but we can’t verify this ourselves).
Well, not the highest one. This was a state supreme court, fortunately.
Agreed, for me containers are really nice for playing with new software without dirtying my host install.
I’m using droidify and couldn’t find signal in there either.
I think it’s cool in concept, but it’s more of an activism tool than a convenience tool. I’m my experience at least, it didn’t block as much as I’d like.
Lol, I’ve already got a fedora server and desktop, a debian home theater PC, and some sort of Linux running on an old laptop (I think it’s Ubuntu right now - I use whatever the current project needs). No windows in my household!

This should do what you’re wanting.
As an aside, is digital ID a gating factor in us bring forced to digital currency? Stores are already refusing cash, so we’re practically digital already.
I tend to disagree with a lot of Californian politics, but hot damn are their pro consumer laws the best. Can’t wait for 2026.
As I understand it, the social credit score was never actually put into place. It was mentioned once as an idea, and people took that as a commitment to implement it.

I’m actually almost completely unfamiliar with Nginx, short of a few hours of tinkering. NginxProxyManager is a direct competitor to Caddy, with a graphical interface, SSL cert creation and auto-renew, etc. I’m not going to say to switch from Caddy, since there’s probably no major benefit, but it’s much nicer than trying to figure out Nginx reverse proxies by hand.
