we were discussing signal in another yarn last week. i’m looking at building a service that would let a potential signal user for a small fee purchase an e.164 sip number to use for registering signal or other mfa situations. of course sms-based mfa is rather insecure due to the triviality of ss7 network exploitation but i’m sure not all of us have operative-level threat models.

i’m looking to build this in golang since it’s wicked fast and as always keep it open so that people can fork and stand up their own system should they choose to.

what are your thoughts?

@mutefall@twtxt.net This sounds like a cool project! 👌 Who will you use as the backing SIP provider?

@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com In the same vein as privacy/security, I’ve always had this idea of spinning up a service that lets users create random/unique email accounts, or throw away email accounts. Basically to thwart SPAM.

@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com and well…. it’s Google

@mutefall@twtxt.net Can you link me to singlelogin? I’m also aware of solutions in the “throw away email” space, I don’t currently run one yet, but I’m thinking about doing so at some point as part of my greater effort towards Self Hosting all the things™ 😂
