K reloaded<p><strong>Note to self: Heul doch!</strong></p>
<p>Ich kann, will und werde es nicht verstehen, warum die Menschen um mich herum immer noch nach Motto „Dann haben die halt meine Daten. Na und?“ verfahren, und es erst einen Trump braucht, um sie zumindest von US-amerikanischen Datensammlern gaaanz langsam wegzubekommen.</p>
<p>Aber Mail verliert ohnehin an Bedeutung, seit es mehr oder weniger verschlüsselte Messenger gibt, die einem die ganze Arbeit mit der Verschlüsselung abnehmen.</p>

Charlotte Aten<p>Getting started with XMPP/Jabber and PGP for federated, encrypted messaging</p><p>This is a short thread where I explain how I started using the XMPP protocol and PGP encryption for secure messaging. I am not a security expert, but I am a mathematician and I am confortable with the Linux command line. This guide is for people who want to use PGP for secure messaging easily. You will need to be okay with typing commands into the Linux command line in order to do this, but I will tell you exactly what to enter.</p><p>Part 1: XMPP</p><p>Mastodon is like email, but for social media. You sign up for an account with a server, and then you can talk with any other accounts that are signed up on other servers, as long as your servers are getting along. (No one wants emails from the sketchy spam server, and we want to be able to choose between Yahoo, Gmail, etc.) XMPP (a.k.a. Jabber) is the same thing for text messaging.</p><p>Just like signing up for an email/Mastodon account, you need to sign up for an account. You can find a list of servers at <a href="https://list.jabber.at/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">list.jabber.at/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> and will probably at least need to provide an email addess when making an account.</p><p>Once you have made an account, you need a client. On Linux, I've been having a good time using Dino (<a href="https://dino.im/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">dino.im/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>). You can then enter your account name and password to log into your XMPP account and start chatting! There are both public rooms and you can also message directly with your friends.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/PGP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PGP</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/XMPP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XMPP</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Jabber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jabber</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Dino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dino</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MonoclesChat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MonoclesChat</span></a></p><p>(1/4)</p>
