@chronicledmonocle @Vinstaal0 I used to work for a dial-up ISP. Every IP is registered to an account, if you’re going through your ISP (as opposed to, say, coffee shop or hotel wifi). Though the people who have the information are different (ICANN/registrar vs your internet provider), there’s no anonymity in your home IP address even with CGNAT.

As far as your domain, you should have privacy protection enabled so people can’t find your personal info via whois.

@exu @Wahots Yggdrasil, too.

@martinb @jerrimu I wrote the initial comment with the idea of saving just the username, but then figured “why not?” for the password. If the password is saved in browser memory (and based how I *think* the app functions, it would have to be), then it wouldn’t be much different than saving a password in firefox’s password manager (for example). Assuming reasonable crypto usage by the app, of course.

@jerrimu A usability suggestion, having just tried it out - save the username and room password in the export file to make it more like a traditional chat experience. So when you import the chat file, the username and password are pre-populated along with the room name.

* I can’t speak on behalf of the author, but I could imagine handling it by simply not decrypting _everything_ on startup, and only decrypting an older chat if you click on it or attempt to run a search on everything. Although for a search, I would expect some kind of hashed (and of course encrypted) database that allows a quick search of all prior messages.

@moonpiedumplings @jagged_circle I read your initial question as 1,000 active chat *rooms* (with some large number of users for each), which… seems excessive. That’s what I was referring to.

1,000 individual private 1-on-1 chats (or group chats with 2-3 users), if that’s what you meant (and especially over a long period of time, with lots of inactive chats), seems like a more common scenario*. If that was your question, I apologize.

@jerrimu @jagged_circle lol!

I read this as a very diplomatic way of saying, “Why… would you do that? Don’t do that.” 😏
