doc: lint markdown files
Only way to have a unified markdown syntax is to enforce the wanted
syntax by linting the files. Don't rely on the many markdown syntaxes,
be consistent.

signal

Signal messaging app in Qubes OS.

Table of Contents

Description

Install Signal Desktop and creates an app qube named "signal".

Installation

  • Top:
sudo qubesctl top.enable signal
sudo qubesctl --targets=tpl-signal,signal state.appply
sudo qubesctl top.disable signal
sudo qubesctl state.apply signal.appmenus
  • State:
sudo qubesctl state.apply signal.create
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-signal state.apply signal.install
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=signal state.apply signal.configure
sudo qubesctl state.apply signal.appmenus

Usage

You may use different Signal accounts for different identities, such as personal, work or pseudonym. Maintain the signal qube pristine and clone it to the assigned domain, personal-signal, work-signal, anon-signal. If you don't maintain the qube pristine, you will have to apply the firewall rules manually.

Signal might loose connectivity due to upstream rotating IP addresses with the use of CDNs to evade blocking. You will have to reapply the firewall rules eventually.

TODO: Is it worth using the firewall? If you allow all cloudfront.net IPs for region "GLOBAL", what is blocking an attacker from using that to host his malicious callback server? Recently (2023-11-11) signal stopped working with the current firewall.
