Nope. I believe people should carry, or rather deserve, more dignity than that.

my mom and a bunch of other people

People who aren't very close to you are one thing, but wouldn't your mom of all people be wiling to install Signal?

Have a source?

I can agree with this, at least.

If you want to keep everything inside a singular Nix configuration while still using Docker, you can check out the NixOS option virtualisation.oci-containers - essentially, a declarative way of managing docker/podman containers (similar to docker-compose) but with Nix.

Wouldn't just using a temporary phone number service work? From what I remember, you just need to recieve a text message and put it into Signal during registration. From skimming through the post, there's no mention of this option.

I would agree somewhat, except I think Bitwarden verifiably doesn't store unencrypted password data. Of course, I think that a self-hosted solution is pretty much always more secure than one that isn't, but the convenience Bitwarden provides is real.

I'm not sure - conduwuit does seem to have more active development but it's not as though conduit is dead either...I also can't find any other reasons to use conduwuit mentioned on its repository, so I'm just going to stick to conduit.

I’ve been using Conduit within a docker container for a while now, and it’s worked pretty well aside from the mautrix-signal bridge (this was fixed in version v7.0.0, I think). Other than conduit, I tried out dendrite, but the latency in sending messages was unbearable.

I’ve previously had issues with Matrix being incredibly slow and unreliable with federation (I’m self-hosting). However, that’s pretty much in the past now and I seem to have somehow resolved that issue.

I’d just like to add that you can use a temporary phone number service to sign up to Signal as you only need a phone number to register, not to actually use Signal.
