  • The New York Times that analyzed more than 3.2 million Telegram messages from over 16,000 channels

    They even admit that they did this research on public channels which never had encryption available to them on Telegram.

    That’s like going on a bunch of open Discord servers and doing the same kind of research and coming to the same conclusions, even though Discord doesn’t even offer end-to-end encryption.

    Arguably, Discord does more moderation of the types of groups in question, but at the same time, moderation is difficult, and acting like groups don’t “fall through the cracks” of Discord’s moderation is naive.

    Telegram sucks, in my humble opinion, but I agree, this article seems more aimed at creating the narrative that only criminals use anything that has any encryption offerings, not that criminal activity happens anywhere and everywhere.







  • I already have a MagicMirror and Immich set up, and I’m debating trying to fix the tablet I have, or trying to get a new one like the chap who started this thread.

    However, I had nearly literally the same plan in mind for it. I have a friend who does woodworking who is open to making a frame for it once I’m done. Throw MagicMirror and MMM-ImmichSlideShow on there and it’s a digital picture frame.

    EDIT: Also, if the tablet is too underpowered (like my old one) you can always run MagicMirror on a different machine/vm and just run Electron to load the page from that machine remotely, reducing the overall load on the tablet itself. If I fix my old tablet, this will have to be the solution because it’s too underpowered for MM on it’s own.
