I’m in the south east and I keep a bottle nearby. Maybe I don’t drink enough during the day.

I see! Thank you for clarifying. Poor couch 😓

That’s fair. I quickly tested standard notes with it firewalled on my phone. it can be used offline and can be set up to require a passcode or biometric verification. Most significantly, the sync server can be self hosted, in case you do decide to pursue this avenue in the future.

The client apps are available on all platforms, including linux distros, though the desktop apps use electron and feel somewhat sluggish (it uses React Native for android and iOS which feels almost equally bad).

I’ve not attempted to use this completely offline but it seems to work acceptably. Bear in mind that the client apps can have subtle nags to subscribe to extended mode, which aren’t present when self hosting.

That said, the default user flow emphasises on the use of an account with an email address, and I’m not sure that’s what you want. I’m wondering if KeePassDX could be used for secure note taking, not sure if keepass entries have some kind of character limit though.

I’m curious about the cross platform requirement given the offline one. I’m wondering if Standard Notes or something similar can be used in a purely offline mode.

I’d hope that practically anything on Android today would suffice given the typical enforcement of either FBE/FDE. Do you specifically need an app that is password protected in addition to Android’s device security, or is this more of an ask for desktop counterparts?

Pluton capable hardware is present on a wide range of contemporary IHV offerings (requires TPM2 hw on the SoC) but OEMs selling devices with these don’t seem remotely interested in enabling it.

Vendor uptake has been minimal, and participating vendors seem to have changed their minds and stopped, though I don’t think this will affect hw implementation as that wasn’t really governed by Microsoft to begin with.

Vendors are no longer actively implementing the pluton spec. It’s not in itself equivalent to Intel ME, whereas something like platform security processor (aka PSP - based on ARM TrustZone) could be considered a closer equivalent.

Pluton is a weird thing. It’s not dedicated HW designed or produced by Microsoft, it’s more of a specification which requires something like TPM2 hardware on a given SOC.

Most vendors do not implement the pluton spec in their offerings.

I feel attacked.

I suppose some instances cut others off as well (I see only 6 total) so you have a fair point

And despite that, if was still newsworthy enough to be posted like 6 times in total 😅

Out of curiosity, how does dwl compare to dwm today?

denender will suffice but the best protection is common sense. If for whatever reason you find yourself needing to interact with sus files there are ways to do so safely in a contained environment

I’ve been using the nightly releases for element X android for some time.

Sliding sync means messages are fetched quite a bit quicker, though it’s not yet feature complete relative to regular element android.

I’ve not yet tested element call on EXA, however, but it’s worked very nicely for me via web.

Would it almost be equivalent to snap on Android?

I’ve heard very little about it. Is there some controversy around it?

Alright, alright, you win.

Heh, I see you’ve played bikey spoony before!

This is a bike 🥄
