This says a lot about their devs and the security guardrails (not) implemented at their end.

Netbird is king. in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] tuxec 14 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Because the main reason I'm self-hosting is to have control over my data. This includes a lot of metadata about my infra/services/devices which Tailscale is uploading all the time to their servers. Besides that, they're on the Enshitification road, which made me to search for 100% self-hosted alternatives. And yes, I'm going for EU based companies when it's a viable option.

A mobile app would be nice for CryptPad otherwise, it does the job.

I really wanted to keep it after deciding to switch from Tailscale, but it's mobile app is draining my phone's battery. It also disconnects without automatically reconnect. Now, I'm in the process of setting OpenZiti up.

How's your experience with NetBird's mobile app?

A new look for Snikket on Android in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] tuxec 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You/users have a choise. Use privacy invasive chat apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, etc for free or invest some time and/or money to self-host it or use their SaaS option. Either way, you're far better than using WhatsApp. Signal is a very good option.

If you "don't care about privacy because if have nothing to hide", I recommend reading Means of Control by Byron Tau or just watch what ICE is doing with all the data Palantir is offering.

A new look for Snikket on Android in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] tuxec 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've been using it for more than a year to communicate with my family and a very small group of friends. The video and audio call features are good and I've replaced phone calls and Signal/WhatsApp with it. Because it's XMPP, there are many clients you can use, not just the Snikket app. Overall, I recommend it because of the End2End Encryption features and self-hostable (if that's a term)
