I share a simple Dockerfile and scripts i wrote, to easily create a Matrix.org alerts/notifications bot on your homeserver!

It is surely very handy! i use it for maintenance alerts, polling for software releases, pretty much anything you may need to be notified on your Matrix Client 😀

+1 reasons to avoid using Windows https://www.wired.com/story/sigred-windows-dns-flas-wormable/

Although i respect the security experts a lot, and Signal has pretty much the best UX of all Competitive Messaging Apps...

All the points i wrote, makes Signal not the most secure choice for me, but it's a much better choice than using commercial communication services, such as Wh..'ImTiredOfTheName'.. App

Therefore, making home-server hardware and software security + federated communication the best choice for a global service security.

All this thoughts are obviating that software can have vulnerabilities and can be logically compromised as well, here, the software security and open source software comes into play

Although Signal App (and server?) is open source, it lacks the ability to share power to multiple parties, therefore sharing data security responsibility

As long as there is just one point of failure to safeguard the information of it's users, there is always a huge security risk.

Of course, a real home-server, with the only protection being a simple house door, is no issue for getting information compromised by a simple theft.

However, the probability of getting targeted to steal your information is way way smaller, not to say is practically null.

I think Signal Messenger App still lacks of something that is pretty much the core of information security, the ability to federate.

How can one deal with non-free wireless usb drivers on Linux?
