Re: Zoom Acquires Keybase
#453For years people have been begging Keybase to allow them to pay them for the service and Chris Coyne always refused. Now they've lost their independence and they're owned by a communication company that has [edit: the majority of] its dev team in China. I use Keybase to talk to my friend in China since it's one of the few services they don't block. This is a pretty disappointing outcome.

It's just casual nativism/racism - acceptable on HN as long as it's about China.

Lucky for us it is open source? I was hoping to use it to replace Dropbox but they kept not taking my money... small wonder they went for the acquisition.
> it is open source Not exactly. The clients are open source, but the central server isn't. See https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/6374 . It might be possible to reverse engineer the server, but it would be a lot more involved than just forking the project.
The best scenario would be if this led to keybase open-sourcing the server as well. I have no idea how likely that is.

#455Keybase has been pretty okay with free-speech groups like: https://keybase.io/team/det_disp
I wonder if Zoom will change that or not...

Well, yeah, duh.
What do you expect them to do? Hire a PMC and fight a war with the police when they come around to raid the server room? Go into hiding so that the security agency can't steal the upgrade signing key from them?
We can't expect all of the internet to operate like Wikileaks and The Pirate Bay. If the justice system is broken, then the people aren't safe.

The GUI search should work fine these days. (It was broken about 6 months ago due to the room lists getting too big, but was fixed in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/6019 ). It's true you have to pick a server to use, but we try to provide decent defaults (although it's true matrix.org has been overloaded recently). We're trying to simplify onboarding via P2P Matrix - by default, you'd start off entirely P…
I last used it for the recent (Thursday, April 30th) Rust Zurich meetup. I've got it installed via apt, and updated to riot-web version: 1.6.0 olm version: 3.1.3 Search didn't find the room. /join did. Also it just took me over a minute to find the version number, because the client settings are hidden in a dropdown menu under my user name, not in the gear icon (tooltip "settings") on the upper left or the hamburger…
Well, if search didn't find the room, it sounds like a plain old bug. (Or was the room marked ex-directory?) If you can file details at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues we'll dig into it.
And noted, in terms of the version number being in the wrong place on Riot/Web.

What was the main difference with this a drop box though? It's encrypted?
The data is stored after encryption by client which are open source (and by using boring© crypto schemes).

There's also Fractal[0] which uses GTK+ instead of Qt, and is maintained by the Gnome foundation and planned to be used by the Librem 5 AFAIK. [0]: https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/fractal
Unfortunately, can't find it in the Fedora's repo
I know it isn't ideal, but Fractal is available through Flatpak and Snap

#460> Ultimately Keybase's future is in Zoom's hands Well, that definitely translates to uncertainty and ultimately the death of Keybase.
I saw that coming when they shoehorned a pointless cryptocurrency that nobody uses into it.
I deleted my account when the crypto-spam emails started to arrive.
