Privacy With Mumble Hosted Locally
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
THE motivation to have a discreet life has nothing to do with doing something illegal or immoral. Privacy is a fundamental human right; without privacy, many other fundamental human rights are curtailed (that includes free speech). People who want to deny privacy are typically do so for nefarious purposes; nothing to do with preventing terror or protecting kids.
"Eventually, in an ideal world, everyone would manage communications this way."Mumble has been used here (at home) for just over 3 weeks, so I've decided to do video/s on it, based on personal experience with multiple user clients (including guests who use mobile phones). Mumble isn't new to me. Even about a decade ago we already used it for TechBytes, but that wasn't self-hosted at home. It's not that self-configuring a hosted Mumble server is hard; on GNU/Linux (Debian 10 in my case) it's absolutely simple -- as simple as clicking a button!
Shown in the video above isn't the latest version of Mumble; but even years ago the program was already simple enough to use, even for self-hosted chats. To get started with Mumble, download a client and use it to chat. Get familiarised with the interface. At a later point your PC can become the server, i.e. no need to connect to any outside (foreign/public) host. Eventually, in an ideal world, everyone would manage communications this way. Encryption (E2EE, nothing else truly works) should be a universal practice. ⬆
