@debby @monocles @Stuxhost well, @delta / #deltaChat is not using #XMPP+#OMEMO (unlike #monoclesChat & #gajim) but #PGP/MIME on regular #eMail, which makes it way easier to setup in organizations as not "yet another server needed" and also easier to comply with mandatory #archival laws in #business use-cases.

JAZZSESSION IM KUNSTHAUS

Kunsthaus Troisdorf, Montag, 2. Juni um 19:30 MESZ

Bei der Jazzsession am 2. Juni ist die junge Saxophonistin Paula Steimer zu Gast als Opener und wird begleitet von der Hausband mit Urs Wiehager am Bass Christian Oschem an der Gitarre und Christoph Freier am Schlagzeug. Die 25jährige Saarbrückerin studiert seit 2021 an der Musikhochschule in Köln bei Claudius Valk. Als Mitglied des Bundesjazzorchesters war sie schon in Skandinavien unterwegs.

I occasionally post what I call a #5SecondMovieReview - essentially a quick yes/no recommendation with no spoilers. I try to highlight stuff that you may not have run into or seen ads for, at least some of the time.

This doesn't fit that mould, because I actually want to describe the content of this one.

"The Wrecking Crew" (2008) is a documentary about a loose-knit group of session musicians in LA that came to prominence in the 1960s. They recorded a huge slice of the hit early rock 'n' roll records that were nominally by the acts shown on the album covers. Literally everyone who has ever listened to music from this era has heard them play, almost certainly without knowing it.

The music side of this documentary is great, even if (like me) you're not a fan of this era of rock music. I can't stand the Beach Boys and all kinds of pre-British-invasion USA pop music.

But where this really shines is in showing the human side of the events and the business. It's touching and funny and warm.

Highly recommended.

@adisonverlice I think that's dangerous disinfo as @torproject actively works against attempts to fingerprint and track #Tor users.

  • I do consider Tor more private than any #VPN simply becaise they can neither ban users nor identify them.

In fact, Tor has been designed with the explicit goal to circumvent #Firewalls and #InternetCensorship methods like #DeepApcketInspection.

As a matter of principle I'd never vouch for any #centralized, #SingleVendor and/or #SingleProvider solution of any kind, including #Session.

  • Tor is sufficiently decentralized in that it is not only completely #OpenSource but has proven to not have SPOFs in the form of maintainers and is able to yeet proplematic folks (unlike #WikiLeaks!)…

Signal vs. Session: Which messenger actually protects your privacy in a world that’s always watching?

I broke down what really matters—metadata, anonymity, and whether your phone number is giving you away.
