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. + +## Briar desktop + +* 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. diff --git a/briar/my-accounts.csv b/briar/my-accounts.csv new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1f3d3bb --- /dev/null +++ b/briar/my-accounts.csv @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +Device,Address,Comment +Axel,briar://abjyso5cxsbekswk3tlrtvfsscgolxts2xqlahhikvolvdtjr73vk,"Phone#3, to be removed" +Janus,-,Future phone#3 +Lumina,briar://abnu53qsieuhvzo5ji6qkjmzilkiw657w25ii6pbkcznp2v6545w6,"Laptop#2, most likely to be online (and with me during shorter overnight travels)" +Rbtpzn,?,"Family desktop from 2006, unlikely to be online.
