I'm looking at coming up with a better name for the working group for PierMesh and looking at Zulip for chat instead of MatterMost, if anyone has suggestions on either please let me know (cross posted from the MatterMost server)

Selecting A Chat Application

Some questions came up today regarding the plethora of chat applications we have. A quick look at my workstation’s dock gives some sense of the size of the menagerie.

Left to right these are: Wire, Signal, Slack, Discord, Keybase, Element, and Telegram.

So what’s going on with all these?

The first two are Wire and Signal. Wire is the first choice for one on one or groups where there are serious security concerns. This is a Swiss company with the attendant statutory privacy protections and it has passed numerous security audits. Signal is similarly solid, but it requires sharing phone numbers, which opens a can of worms so Wire, which permits using up to three handles in the client, is the first choice. We moved from Signal in 2017 but it has been making a comeback, because there are some groups that are centered there and won’t move.

Slack and Discord are in the #3 and #4 slots. Slack is a business oriented cloud based service that faces competition from a self-hosted alternative called MatterMost. Discord is a gamer oriented cloud service that has begun making inroads in social movements and OSINT pursuits. Slack has been very popular within the cryptocurrency world and in general it’s the lingua franca for business. Slack offers a large pallete of apps that can be integrated, and it’s the only one among these various platforms that does.

Next come Keybase, a fascinating take on communications with a distinct flavor meant for software developers. There are group chat features similar to Slack, including the ability to create teams. It’s got an internal files sharing method similar to Dropbox in that you can make things stored there available via the web. There’s a Git software version control function and a built in cryptocurrency wallet for Stellar’s LUMENS. The system supports cryptographic verification of external identities such as social media accounts and web sites. Sadly, it was abandoned when Zoom purchase the company in 2020.

The last two are Element and Telegram. Element is a client for the Matrix chat network, which was formerly known as Riot.IM before selecting a less provocative name. It’s open in a fashio similar to Keybase, it’s business oriented in a way much like Slack, and the group for which I installed it broke up a couple years ago. I keep it around, thinking I should know more about it.

Telegram is most like Wire and Signal in terms of features, you need a phone number and you can talk one on one or join shared channels. This became popular as a lighter, more open option than Slack for cryptocurrency, and it’s become sort of the Mos Eisley cantina of the internet, chock full of criminality and radicalization. The founder is Russian and the company moved from there to Dubai to avoid entanglement with their government. There are times where I have the application open because there are things I need to see, but I’m a silent observer, I don’t actually use it for personal or professional communications.

Which one should you use? That very much depends on what you’re doing. Here are the list of names again, this time with a use case for each.

Wire – Trusted for activism due to being a quality product from a good jurisdiction, and business grade service is available.

Signal – A 21st century replacement for PSTN voice and SMS.

Slack – Businesses will find the integrations they need here.

Discord – Gamer-centric communities use this, so if that’s your target market ...

Keybase – A visionary jewel that we hope will revive due to Twitter’s chaotic conditions.

Element – I have no clarity here so I’m going to spend some time with it.

Telegram – Full of crypto and extremists, your gateway to the red light district.

This is not an exhaustive list but these seven are leaders in the field. If I could make a wish here, I'd like to see Keybase freed from entanglement with Zoom, and back into ongoing development.

CAME OUT OF MY DADS PRINTER AT WORK TODAY..........

[image description: a picture of a printed message on a piece of paper. before the message is a picture of pope john paul II smiling and with his hands raised in the air. below it reads:

Hi,

if you're reading this message, it's highly likely that your printer is exposed to the public internet via port forwarding. This means that *anyone* on the internet with some technical knowledge can send print jobs to your printer - or worse, try to exploit it and use it as a part of a global botnet.

If you didn't intend for this, please look into disabling UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) on your router, or remove the port forwarding rule for the port 9100.

Troop Messenger

While data is essential to all industries, government agencies and large corporations place a high premium on enterprise risk management.

Let's examine the following business collaboration solutions that provide chat room software and meet these organisations' internal communication needs.

Data-sensitive and regulated businesses such as Governments, Defense, Large Enterprises, Manufacturing, Pharma, etc., need a secured chat platform, unlike web-based chat software for their internal office communication to collaborate without compromising on the data they communicate. The self-hosted chat server Troop GRIT is powered by Troop Messenger's chat engine. They have complete control over the program thanks to this self-hosted messenger since they may direct talks through their databases and networks.

You can get a customized version of hosted messaging to suit the operations of your ecosystem. As this self-hosted chat software supports Air-Gapped Networks, you can be assured of not having any third-party intrusion to access your standard or critical data.

The Deployment suite for Linux and Windows help you with detailed instruction to set it up on your on-premise servers with detailed documentation. This on-premise chat application guides you on the prerequisites for operating systems, databases, and server specifications. This self-hosting chat application will help you on; how to install docker, register, and configure SSL certificate and firewall policies.

Besides providing all the standard and productive features of SaaS, Troop Messenger the self-managed office chat messenger, comes with Trumpet, File Deck, TM-Monitor (with Lawful Interception), UNITs, User Authorization, etc., as advanced features. End-to-end encryption, Multi-factor authentication, LDAP/SSO, and Role-Based access controls are the exclusive features for user security.

Mattermost server will be live tomorrow (🤞) so again, let me know if you'd like to join (also I will need an email to allow you to register), the idea is this will be the main place to discuss PierMesh as a project for people who are contributing to/want to contribute to PierMesh. This is also the channel I'll give access to the code early on though I'll need to do some configuration on the gitea server to get people set up with the private repo when it's up (also I will set up some docstring based auto generated documentation and do some cleanup so access to the code is actually useful)
