Two brands. One belief : privacy.
We're proud to announce our official partnership with @unstoppablebyhs, PrivateAlps now powers the XMR, BTC & LTC nodes behind Unstoppable Wallet.
Your messages may be encrypted, but your metadata can still tell a story. Who you contact, when, and how often can reveal patterns about your life.

We’re proud to announce our partnership with @deplocloud
Since 2019, We've been committed to giving builders full control over their infrastructure. Supporting open source and self-hosting is a natural continuation of that mission.
Deplo is an open source deployment platform: connect your repo, pick your server, deploy. No Docker config, no SSH, no YAML.
Your code, your server, Swiss infrastructure. No middleman.
You can lock every door in your own house and still get robbed through a window you didn't know existed - your vendor's.
Adobe reportedly had 13 million support tickets exposed. Not through Adobe's own servers - through an outsourced customer support contractor. Names, emails, account details, in some cases partial payment info.
Adobe didn't get hacked. A company Adobe trusted with access to customer data did. That distinction matters more than it sounds - because it means their own security posture was never the weak point.
Every vendor with a login to your systems is part of your attack surface now, audited or not. Most companies can't actually list who those vendors are.
Fix takes an afternoon, not a security team: list every third party with standing access to customer data, ask what they actually retain, and kill access the day a contract ends. Almost nobody's done it once.
It's part of why we build PrivateAlps around a no-third-party-access default - every vendor with standing access is a door. Fewer doors means a smaller blast radius when something goes wrong on someone else's side.
So happy to support @rareuiHQ and what you're building for the community! Great things ahead 🤝🧡
Really happy to welcome @PrivateAIps as RareUI’s Diamond Sponsor.
Their support helps us keep building RareUI, improving the open-source library, and shipping more for the community.
Really appreciate PrivateAIps for backing RareUI and supporting what we’re building.
Roughly a third of breaches now start somewhere you don't control: a vendor, a contractor, a support tool you gave access to once and forgot about.
The vendor gets breached, not you - and your data goes out through their door instead of yours. You did nothing wrong and you're still in the disclosure email.
Most companies have never actually listed every third party with standing access to customer or infrastructure data. Not because it's hard - nobody's asked the question yet.
A supply-chain audit takes an afternoon: list every vendor with access, check what they can see, cut anything you don't actively use. Do it once a quarter and the next "third-party vendor" headline stops being about you.
314 votes against. 276 for. Chat Control still moved forward. Here’s why:
314 MEPs voted to reject Chat Control 1.0. 276 voted against rejecting it. And yet the measure survived.
The temporary Chat Control 1.0 framework is now back in place while the EU continues debating the permanent rules around private communications and encryption.
If this changes how you think about who should control access to your data, that’s exactly why private infrastructure matters.

Before you hand anyone access to your infrastructure, ask three questions:
Do they encrypt data at rest?
Who else can see your data?
What happens to your access when the contract ends?
Privacy starts with understanding your infrastructure
Recent discussions around messaging regulation in Europe highlight an important question:
Who controls the systems handling your data?
Encryption, open technologies, and independent infrastructure help reduce unnecessary exposure and give users more control.
Privacy is about informed choices.

Meta pulled end-to-end encryption from Instagram DMs earlier this year, and under the EU's new scanning rules, those same messages can now be reviewed automatically too.
