Radical servers comparision {#radical-servers-comparision-1}
|
||
|
|
===========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document pretends to show a comparision of the radical servers. At
|
||
|
|
least the one I\'ve used. I\'ll dig onto their privacy policy, what they
|
||
|
|
provide...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Riseup
|
||
|
|
======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RiseUp is an anarchocommunist radical server. It provides, for
|
||
|
|
registered users: E-Mail and XMPP. For unregistered users, it provides
|
||
|
|
mailing lists, VPN, pads, filesharing...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
E-Mail
|
||
|
|
------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Their E-Mail servers is **really** good. You can have infinite aliases.
|
||
|
|
So you can use your riseup account without having to give your real
|
||
|
|
address. (You can delete adresses anytime)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
XMPP
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Riseup. I love you and all. But please, fix your XMPP server, it\'s
|
||
|
|
unusable:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Can\'t use HTTP File Upload
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Does not support avatars in MUC
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Does not support MUC
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Does not support message carbons
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In other worse. Their XMPP could be **MUCH** better. I hope they fix
|
||
|
|
it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Privacy policy
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- No IP address log
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Awesome. I don\'t do this either.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Keep \"From:\" and \"To:\" E-Mail headers to prevent spam
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is okay. I mean, even if you use PGP, the emails header cannot be
|
||
|
|
encrypted. Those logs are removed after a few days.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Last logins are in quarters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Meaning they just log that you log once every 4 months. Which is good.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Data is encrypted. And only Riseup can decrypt it. Cool. Feds cannot
|
||
|
|
break onto Riseup\'s
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Riseup and government
|
||
|
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
According to <https://riseup.net/en/about-us/policy/government-faq>,
|
||
|
|
Riseup would rather nuke their server than giving information to the
|
||
|
|
government.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you do illegal things in Riseup (drugs, cheese pizza) (which, btw,
|
||
|
|
violates Riseup\'s TOS), riseup will most likely work with the feds to
|
||
|
|
stop you rather than nuking the organization.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Conclusion
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Riseup is literally the best thing you can do for E-Mail. **BUT** you
|
||
|
|
need to be invited to it. And no. the writer of this won\'t give you an
|
||
|
|
invite. Don\'t use this for XMPP.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Snopyta
|
||
|
|
=======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Snopyta provides way more services than Riseup (which doesn\'t means
|
||
|
|
it\'s better)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
According to the privacy policy. \"No data will be ever shared\"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Searx
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I use the snopyta searx instance as my search engine. And I haven\'t had
|
||
|
|
a single problem with it. They **DON\'T** log any IP address or search
|
||
|
|
queries. But they really have to update the Searx version. So we can use
|
||
|
|
the morty proxy feature.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
XMPP
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I haven\'t used it. But a friend has. And he haven\'t had a single
|
||
|
|
problem with it. So I guess it is good. According to the
|
||
|
|
conversations.im compliance test. It has 100% of compliance.
|
||
|
|
Recommended. IP addresses are not stored in the server. Nice
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
E-Mail
|
||
|
|
------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Idk. I haven\'t use it, they aren\'t offering more accounts. But,
|
||
|
|
according to their privacy policy:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Emails are stored plain text unless you use PGP or something like
|
||
|
|
that. But the drive where the mails are is encrypted. The sent and
|
||
|
|
recieved logs are cleaned every 24 hours.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mastodon
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I use the <https://social.snopyta.org> mastodon instance. By default.
|
||
|
|
nothing is stored in the server unless you create an account. According
|
||
|
|
to the mastodon privacy policy everything you post is stored in the
|
||
|
|
server (Including private messages). So don\'t use it for sensitive
|
||
|
|
things.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DNS services
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nothing is logged. If there\'s some abuse, logs will be kept, but will
|
||
|
|
be nuked after 24 hours.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Conclusion
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use it for Searx and XMPP, maybe Mastodon if you want. They provide
|
||
|
|
more services. But they're require an account or are no too privacy
|
||
|
|
oriented. (RSS, for example) They also provide this pastebin which
|
||
|
|
uses AES256 encryption. And according to them. They have no way to
|
||
|
|
decrypt it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don\'t trust their \"no logs\" policy, alright, they provide a
|
||
|
|
hidden service (.onion) for everything. So use that instead!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These are all the services I\'ve used for things. If I use more
|
||
|
|
services. I\'ll add them here.
