# Briar notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Briar is a P2P over Tor messenger that can also peer over LAN and Bluetooth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`my-accounts.csv` has list of my Briar addresses, as there isn't support
|
||
|
|
for multiple devices. They possibly should be in aminda.eu, but I don't
|
||
|
|
know what would be a good way to show them as browser integrated CSV
|
||
|
|
viewers are rare and I don't think these would be in so much demand.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Briar doesn't hold as big place in my heart as IRC or Matrix to have a
|
||
|
|
dedicated page either and my HTML table tendency is effort even if the page
|
||
|
|
wasn't given a navigation menu entry.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Naming
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I tend to name my accounts `Aminda-HOSTNAME (%Y-%j)` e.g.
|
||
|
|
`Aminda-Lumina (2022-153)` where `%Y` is year in 4 digits and `%j` the day
|
||
|
|
of the year (001 to 366). However the older the Briar account still in use,
|
||
|
|
the more random naming scheme there is.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is by no means a security feature, anyone can name their device like
|
||
|
|
that, it's more of convenience should there be older and newer me on same
|
||
|
|
device in contacts lists. This doesn't either mean that I will remember
|
||
|
|
this scheme or updating these files.
|
||
|

||

|
* TODO: what ports does it want opened in firewall for LAN peering?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I install it from Flathub and at the time of writing it doesn't support
|
||
|
|
groups (where only creator can add users), forums (groups where everyone can
|
||
|
|
add new users) or blogs.
