There is no single central signal server. Signal uses #AWS cloud, next to Google Cloud, Microsoft Cloud and Cloudflare, all under US legislation. If any of these clouds goes down or becomes otherwise problematic, chatting degrades or fails.
With #deltachat you can choos #chatmail relays ( https://chatmail.at/relays ) which distributes the risk across a wider network. We are currently working on the multi-transport feature to finally remove any central point of chat failure: https://chaos.social/@delta/115362144863345662

Nah, my cloud (which is a 20 y.o. Mac Mini sitting on top of a bookcase) is fine.
It's just a pun on Signal being a secure messenger, but relying on third-party infrastructure.
Nothing wrong with relying on others' infrastructure per-se, I'm not one of those full-on paranoid types โ but the founders of Signal probably are. I mean, now that they have added a third "post-quantum" ratchet, the data is resistant to being brute forced by quantum computers: https://it.slashdot.org/story/25/10/19/0546205/why-signals-post-quantum-makeover-is-an-amazing-engineering-achievement
But this improvement itself assumes that earlier data IS vulnerable to store now, decrypt later attacks โ from this POV using AWS is an awful practice, so relying on others' infra is bad according to them, not me ๐

@Hoss I mean yeah we've been saying we live in roman fall-apart times for a while now, this feels like roman fall-apart time shit.

I feel like nowadays you could have an authoritarian regime control the general populace through strict censorship of videos, images, podcasts, etc. but have total freedom when it comes to long-form writing, because the medium itself is sufficient to gatekeep anything troublesome from the masses.
Rolex will forever be a perplexing brand. I think their hostility to their customers turns on rich people who see something they can't easily just toss money at and have and think it's a challenge.
"We'll let you buy it when we think you've met the bar" kinda shit is where you go to when you've extracted dopamine from every possible source of narcissism and still need more.
And I thought my $600 Garmin was a luxury purchase - all theirs do is tell time and give weirdos in suits boners without requiring the customary double dose of Viagra.
