test: demo slide fit-to-screen options 4+5 on copies

Adds -fit-test copies of the labdesign and messaging decks that apply
container-query font sizing (option 5) and a max-height cap on mermaid
SVGs (option 4) so we can compare overflow behavior side-by-side
against the originals.

Includes a comment explaining why option 2 (custom canvas size) cannot
be demoed inline and would require registering a custom theme via
marp.config.mjs.

Option 2 (larger canvas — NOT applied here): the `size:` frontmatter
only accepts sizes the active theme has declared via @size. The
bundled `default`/`gaia` themes only declare 16:9 (1280x720) and 4:3
(960x720). To get a 1920x1080 canvas you must register a custom
theme via marp.config.mjs / --theme that contains
@size fhd 1920px 1080px;
and then reference it as `size: fhd`. Inline <style> blocks cannot
declare theme metadata, so a one-file demo of option 2 isn't possible
without touching the build pipeline.

# Introduction
This is assorted notes on what could go into the MakerFLOSS lab
---
# Requirements
- A space to experiment with new software
- A place where software could be "test run" for some time
- A place where errors are not causing IP loss
- even if errors are real big !!
## More details
- Firewalled off from the production network
- Accessible from outside
- Potential for exposing services externally
---
## Constraints
- Cost conscious
- Support constant change
---
# Proposals
## Short term
A VPS in a (European) cloud with one public IP
---
## Midterm
Complement the VPS with some local hardware:
- Firewall with zones (VLANs, DNS/DHCP)
- Netbird access to services in Lab
- Switching infrastructure
- A primary "stable" Proxmox host
- A secondary experimentation machine
- A backup server
- Tunnel for external access via VPS public IP
---
### Basic Services in Lab
- Git: Forgejo
- ...

---
## Long term
replace VPS with a direct IP pinhole access
replace the "stable" FLOSS services running on VPS with modules runing on "stable" machine locally

# Messaging Without Big Tech
### Free & Open Alternatives to WhatsApp and Messenger
MakerFLOSS · May 2026
---
## Why Are We Here?
Most people use WhatsApp, Messenger, or iMessage.
- **WhatsApp** — owned by Meta; metadata harvested
- **Messenger** — no E2EE by default in groups; ad tracking
- **Telegram**_not_ E2EE by default; closed server
- **iMessage** — Apple lock-in; no Android or Linux
These apps are _convenient_ — but the cost is your data.
---
## Wish-list
| Property | Why it matters |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| End-to-end encryption | Only sender and recipient can read messages |
| Open source | Anyone can audit the code |
| Self-hostable | You control the server and the data |
| No phone number required | Less identity linkage |
| Cross-platform | Linux, Android, iOS, Windows |
| Federated / decentralized | No single point of failure or control |
---
## The Landscape at a Glance
_All apps below support end-to-end encryption._
| App | Open source | Self-host | No phone# | Federation |
| -------------------- | ----------- | --------- | --------- | ---------- |
| **Signal** | Partial | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| **Matrix / Element** | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| **XMPP + OMEMO** | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| **Briar** | ✓ | N/A | ✓ | N/A |
| **Session** | ✓ | Partial | ✓ | Partial |
---
## Signal — The Gold Standard for E2EE
Non-profit Signal Foundation. The Signal Protocol powers WhatsApp, Google RCS, and Messenger secret chats.
**Pros**
- Simplest UX — works like a normal messaging app
- Audited, battle-tested cryptography; no ads, no tracking
**Cons**
- Phone number required — links identity to account
- Centralized — Signal's servers, Signal's rules
**Best for:** journalists, activists, everyday secure messaging
---
## Signal — Under the Hood
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant A as Alice's phone
participant S as Signal Server
participant B as Bob's phone
A->>S: encrypted message
Note over S: sees: who, when, how often<br/>does NOT see: content
S->>B: encrypted message
Note over B: decrypts with private key
```
Metadata still matters — [Signal subpoena responses](https://signal.org/bigbrother/)
---
## Matrix — The Federated Open Standard
Matrix is a **protocol**, not an app — like email for real-time chat.
```mermaid
graph LR
EC[Element client] --> YH[your homeserver]
YH <-->|federation| OH[another homeserver]
FC[FluffyChat] --> OH
```
- **Servers**: Synapse (Python), Conduit (Rust), Dendrite (Go)
- **Clients**: Element, FluffyChat, Cinny, Fractal, Nheko
- **Bridges**: WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, IRC, Discord…
---
## Matrix — Pros and Cons
**Pros**
- Fully open source, top to bottom
- Self-host your server — you own your data
- Federated — no single company controls the network
- Bridges consolidate all your chats in one place
**Cons**
- E2EE key management is clunky (cross-signing, key backup)
- Synapse is resource-hungry (~1 GB RAM)
- The UX of Element is still maturing
---
## Matrix Bridges — Stay Connected During the Transition
A bridge relays messages between Matrix and another network — both ways.
| Bridge | Network | Notes |
| ------------------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| `mautrix-whatsapp` | WhatsApp | Puppeting — your real WA account |
| `mautrix-telegram` | Telegram | Puppeting — very stable |
| `mautrix-signal` | Signal | Fragile — Signal actively breaks 3rd-party |
| `meshtastic-matrix-relay` | Meshtastic | LoRa mesh ↔ Matrix — off-grid messaging |
**Catch:** Puppeting bridges hold your credentials. WhatsApp's ToS prohibits it — occasional bans occur.
---
## XMPP (Jabber)
The _original_ federated chat standard — 1999. Still alive and kicking.
- Extremely mature and lightweight
- E2EE via OMEMO
- Good clients: **Conversations** (Android), **Monal** (iOS/macOS), **Gajim** (desktop)
- Con: fragmented client quality; less beginner-friendly than Signal or Matrix
---
## Briar
Peer-to-peer messaging — _no server at all_.
- Works over Tor, local WiFi, or Bluetooth (offline!)
- Censorship-resistant by design
- Con: Android-first; no desktop client; both parties must be online to first connect
**For:** activists, disaster scenarios, high-censorship environments
