Re: Cryptboard.io – Anonymous encrypted web clipboard and chat
#33I use a local and private Dendrite (Matrix) server to exchange strings between computers through an encrypted chat to myself.
at this point why not just ssh to a host and use vim?
i mean, you might have better client os support than a matrix client in most cases :) and if you are running a private matrix node you already have sshd to solve all the constant annoyances and upgrades

It could also work but SSH connections time out while I can leave Element running on the background.
I’m also not aware of those constant annoyances and upgrades.

#35I built something similar but it wasn't intended as a clipboard. Mostly for anonymous chat but I personally ended up using it as a clip board. The difference. We don't persist anything on the server side, it's totally in memory and you can create new streams that have shorter ttls. Website: https://malten.xyz Source code: https://github.com/asim/malten
I don't understand what the "Talk" button is supposed to do on the website.

It's speech to text using the web speech recognition api

There’s a lot of things that cumulatively make this hard. Some of them are “social” more than technical, and some are technically hard because of society. But importantly, people have made webpages that just p2p link two devices (eg wormhole). Generally, no one…
Hello! Creator of cryptobard.io here :)
> I don’t think the use case of this project is to share clipboard data with a VM. Especially not if you’re hosting the VM yourself (“clipboard access” implies you’re using the host). That’s an option in the readme BUT… why do all that? You don’t really need encrypted traffic, or identities, etc.
I have several years experience of working with contractor, who gave us access to their infrastructure by giving remote access to terminal windows server on VMWare Horizon. And there was NO clipboard sharing, files sending or folders mounting features enabled. We couldn't install any software, and user account (and all the machine) regulary was wiped and reinstalled from ground (on weekly basis). So, this service was created exactly for this situation.
Encryption is needed because of data passed into and out of VM is sensitive (passwords, logfiles, partial DB dumps), and my co-workers sometimes used insecure services, like cl1p.net for the same purpose. So, I written this tool in my free time :)
I'll add this explanation to README, as for me it looked obvious :)

#40The interesting thing here is that an identity is represented by an image ("avatar"). Normally you can't get enough combinations with such a scheme and still produce a distinguishable image. Perhaps those long hex numbers shown in the screenshot also represent identity? Another interesting thing here is that the RSA keys are 1024 bits long. It is fairly unlikely that some entity like the NSA is going to expend a Manh…
The avatars make sense as a "checksum", though perhaps not a full representation of the key.
