If I remember correctly, I chose ravio over freeotp because the later lacked:

• Scanne functionality didn’t work.
• No export / inport
• Freeotp seemed like abondonware

Jokes on me.

Syncthing can backup your photos on Android.

Thunderbird still uses mbox. Maildir is incomplete and experimental.

I really wish we could use maildir.

How does this compare to borg ?

That’s what i do. Work perfectly

Markor + synvthing

Joplin uses it’s own database so interoperability is not perfect. Markor is so effing cool. That’s on Android. On the laptop I use want ever is best suited for the task. Most often, a vim variant of notepad++

You will probably have tradeoffs. And somehow need to script accept that at some point, you need to trust someone. At the very least with firmware. And you probably need to change workflow.

I find cryptpadb works almost as well as Google docs did a few years ago.

Well. I personally am very annoyed that i can’t choose a specific pin for signal. That means my kid can read my messages, because yes… Keeping password from a child is neigh impossible. But my pin for element, fairmail, telegram he don’t know.

So i get a lot of the criticism. For me personally, it’s still a matter of trust. A future malicious molly version might eavesdrop. Signal will probably not do so.

Encryption at rest on an unlocked phone is probably a hard problem. But if somebody is targeting me to that extent, i am probably toast anyways.

I try to create enough usage so that journalists and activists can hide in the mob, and i can hide from fang.

I use element, but do worry about the local server implementation and leak of metadata.

My confidence in signal is greater than my confidence in a random fork. Privacy is hard… So I feel it’s better to trust something less than ideal, than to trust a random dude promising to solve all problems…

That’s just my threat model.

Not sure I trust a random repo here. I dont have the skill to look through the code. In this regard I prefer - after all - gboard. The changes me login credentials get stolen by google are smaller than the chanches I am duped into installing a random keyboard from github. Just based on my threat model and my skillz.
