I'm not really applying, but if you don't find anyone else who's suitable for this position, I could help out. Everything is basically already described in my application for c/piracy: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/16413044

But I'm neither a woman, nor a PoC, nor outside of Europe.

Many seedbox providers also offer dedicated servers or seedboxes with root access (or the ability to deploy containers or something similar), that's probably the closest you're gonna get.

I was wrong too, YouTube provides 160kbps audio tracks, just like the free version of Spotify. You only get the full 320 kbps if you subscribe to Spotify Premium. But you need a tool like Votify or Zotify to download from Spotify.

You can try Votify, but it requires Widevine L3 keys

Spotube only gets the metadata from Spotify. It pulls the actual audio track from YouTube, so the quality is nowhere near as good as on Spotify.

Have you been using this one?

I tried it out once, but I currently don't use it, because I just run mollysocket on my own server.

On my app I don’t get rich notifications only “you may have a new message”.

That should only be the case while your Molly database is locked, because the actual messages can't be decrypted, so no message preview can be shown in the notification.

Oh that's the only one I know of. I thought that this is what you're referring to.

We are still in a trust me bro situation

No we're not. You don't have to trust Signal, everything is open source, you can actually verify it.

it’s not really different from Whatsapp or Telegram

That's not true. WhatsApp is fully proprietary and Telegram doesn't use E2EE by default. And even if you enable it, they use a weak encryption protocol.

It's also available on their website btw: https://signal.org/android/apk/

[–] Andromxda 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Well, you can still insert client side decryption into the app.

That's why all clients are fully open-source. You can also use a fork like Molly.

your conversations are still tied to Google

That's simply false. Signal Notifications never include the content of the message or any metadata, no matter if they're sent over FCM, APN, WebSockets or UnifiedPush (via mollysocket). That wouldn't even be possible, since the Signal server sending out the notification doesn't even have the key to decrypt the message. Only the users involved in the conversation have the keys, that's how end-to-end encryption works. Signal simply sends an empty message via FCM (or any other push system), and the Signal app on your device then receives and decrypts the encrypted message and shows you a preview of the message content as a notification on your operating system.

And every build of the Signal client for WhatsApp also supports WebSockets as a fallback push notification system, in case Play services aren't installed or can't be reached. The only reason why FCM is used by default is that it saves some battery, because it only maintains one background network connection for all apps, instead of each app handling notifications themselves.
