#Briar is an unusual kind of messenger for Android devices: there are no servers, messages are stored on your phone and sent directly to your contact's phone through TOR, wi-fi or bluetooth.

It's designed for journalists, activists, people working in disaster zones and anyone interested in "off the grid" communication.

The official site is here:

https://briarproject.org

The app is free, open source and available through @fdroidorg and Google Play.

The abuse of update mechanisms to degrade peoples' property provides a huge disincentive to patching. Think of Epson or HP sends out deceptive "security updates" that actually break printers so they can't use third party ink (https://boingboing.net/2018/10/10/printers-vs-humanity.html)

Was nutzt ihr zum Entsperren eures Androiden: Muster, PIN, Fingerabdruck oder Passwort? Und wie lang ist eure PIN/Passwort bzw. welche Größe hat das Muster?

Does your site need HTTPS? https://doesmysiteneedhttps.com/ - JA!

Let's Encrypt ist wirklich eines der besten Dinge, die dem Internet in den letzten Jahren passiert ist.

Welchen Messenger setzt ihr ein und was ist der Hauptgrund?
