I’m looking for something that can do chat, video calling with support for guess links and chats. I need it to work in the browser so I can send people a link to a chat session. Bonus if it has a simple mobile app and calendar integration.
Anyone know of something that isn’t Nextcloud Chat?
Jami is a stability and security nightmare
I wouldn’t recommend it
Please tell us more about the actual security problems!
Have you actually dug into the internals? It is pretty bad. Large poorly maintained code base with poor cryptography. Theoretically it is fine but I’d rather use Signal.
Im using it for 3 months now and I did not notice any stability issue. One time I experienced a long delay in receiving a message.
Do you have any details on why its a security nightmare?
All communications are peer-to-peer and end-to-end encrypted.
It is a massive code base which doesn’t seem to get a lot of maintenance due to lack of developers. Jami also lacks a security audit which doesn’t build confidence
From a security perspective it uses dTLS which isn’t great for metadata sensitive applications. Message delivery is also finicky since it depends on peers working reliably.
Care to expand on that? I am seriously considering that as part of my post-skype future.
I would look into Jami, Signal and maybe Simplex Chat
