Remember how all the data stored locally from Signal Desktop is completely unencrypted?
Since the developers clearly aren't interested in changing this, I've written a shell script that makes it a breeze to encrypt and decrypt your Signal Desktop data using VeraCrypt.
It will also create a launcher for you (an .app on MacOS and a shell script on Linux) to automatically mount the encrypted storage before launching Signal, and automatically unmount it when exiting.
Just run the launcher instead of the app, and pretend that the password prompt is a Signal feature :)

Some of the best things in life are totally Free. Here’s another great example especially for young people in USA who recently had some books banned in their neck of the woods:

Time for the poll that keeps coming into my head whenever I see the name #GeorgeSantos:
Friends of #Mastodon and the #Fediverse, who are you MOST LIKELY to believe is an actual living being that exists in real life?
Oh ffs. From @AFP: Vaccine misinformation spawns 'pure blood' movement. The movement spins anti-vaccine narratives focused on unfounded claims that receiving blood from people inoculated against the coronavirus "contaminates" the body https://u.afp.com/idgH

There have been 39 mass shootings in America in the first 3 weeks of 2023.
That number was 36 yesterday.
End the filibuster. Pass gun control. Now.

@AlliFlowers @TransitBiker Absolutely.I swore off Apple after a terrible customer service experience and because of its monopolistic App Store, but the privacy first approach (though still far from what I’d like, better than android/google) won me back over.

BREAKING: Senior FBI official who led 2016 investigation finding no link between Trump and Russia, Charles McGonigal, has now been arrested for taking and laundering money for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.
The Kremlin infiltration of America goes VERY deep.

@atrupar @cautionarytale@mastodon.world Ted Cruz: If you’re my friend you can do whatever you want. But if you’re a <choke><gag> Democrat <choke> then you must be above suspicion.
@dx @TransitBiker True. Android has its own issues.
@dhstokyo @LibertyForward1 If it doesn’t work in our favor, we must get rid of it.

Republicans want to throw women, doctors, and pharmacists in jail for the crime of letting women control their own bodies.

BREAKING: #GeorgeSantos finally admits the 500K loan to his campaign was NOT a personal loan.
Santos has all but admitted to breaking campaign finance law. RESIGN.
@dx @TransitBiker I agree about the consistency, but that’s on app developers rather than the os.
@DemocracyMatters Even Cornpone Kennedy has his limits.

Parts of the state don't have access to clean drinking #water but of course #Mississippi has money for #surveillance in schools & colleges https://reason.com/2023/01/19/mississippi-bill-would-mandate-surveillance-cameras-in-schools-and-colleges/
@Penguinflight@mastodon.online @tom_armstrong @cstross @SwiftOnSecurity @GayDeceiver That explains everything.
@harrymccracken Doesn’t it just? It’s all Mastodon was missing.
