Any system run on AWS in a single az is not reliable.

Look at Delta chat.

Delta chat is the best. Especially with webxdc’s.

I don’t take anything from someone I don’t trust that also explicitly doesn’t use warrant canaries because he says they don’t work in contradiction to every legal authority.

It’s also an issue that they run the signal server on one single AWS region.

It isn’t hard or even all that expensive to run on multiple regions.

Don’t use namecheap.

Super happy with PorkBun

Delta chat is what I moved to from XMPP after NPM-7.

Maybe pick a billionaire that wasn’t a frequent flyer of the Lolita Express to have this epiphany.

Seriously. He is a deeply bad evil person that paid a lot of money for propaganda, and you fell for it.

Dude got divorced because his wife found out about his involvement with Epstein.

Some things aren’t nuanced at all. Some crimes and shittiness cannot be made up for.

You have it backwards.

There are some very few specific use case that most companies don’t ever meet that makes AWS cheaper. In the vast majority of use cases it is an order of magnitude more expensive.

It’s never been cheaper. It’s so much easier to scale. It’s never been cheaper. Well, maybe at a very low usage rate. But, at scale, it’s never been cheaper.

Buying server hardware is a lot more difficult and with more lead time than just buying a computer. Plus you then have to build your server infrastructure out in a data center. It takes a lot of time, and specific logistical skills. AWS is far easier to scale your services then doing it yourself, especially if you have extremely high peaks that you have to serve.

If AWS was cheaper then hosting, they wouldn’t make money.

They are if you control the network of the egress point which is what the first person said.

And I don’t need evidence for that. If you don’t understand those words, you don’t understand how the internet works.

You literally don’t know what you are talking about.

You’re like a computer novice that is only aware of commercialized VPN products thinking you know what you’re talking about but unaware that the commercialized products are open source things that anyone can run, and you’re only paying for the company to run them on their boxes.

Goddammit.

You effectively have no user id’s with chatmail relays with DeltaChat. Routing of messages uses the default TCP/IP stack and so you can just use TOR if you want to. Mentioning a chat systems ability to use TOR, as if that should be a part of the chat program rather than the system it self seems strange to me.

I’ve run a matrix server with around 250 local users. The schema Matrix uses is fundementally flawed that leads to excessive resource usage, and the DB is very easy to corrupt. Plus, the encryption key management sucks in comparison to DeltaChat and SimpleX.

Federated servers, Multiple device access without the phone app being open, Decades old tried and true backend protocol that would be a problem to ban.

Definitely continue the fight, but in the meantime, migrate to something like DeltaChat.

I don’t think it does.

This is the correct answer and should be the top post.
