mimochodem ja pouzivam napr. tohle:
https://github.com/prof7bit/TorChat/downloadsNaskakuje mi husi kuze kdyz si uvedomim ze bych si takovejhle soft mel stahovat ze serveru kterej vlastni a spravuje Microsoft........firma o ktery se vedou debaty tohohle typu:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonykosner/2012/07/18/did-microsoft-change-the-architecture-of-skype-to-make-it-easier-to-snoop/#3b15c5067e6c"You can imagine that Microsoft and Skype are not happy about these heated discussions. Whatever the intent of the changes, on a conceptual level it seems that it is much easier to reroute traffic through a finite number of privately controlled and encrypted servers than through the anarchy of networked private computers acting as nodes and "supernodes." But this anarchy is part of what many people like—and what works—about internet culture. Microsoft is in that classic business position of having to tame and monetize a "life form" of the wild internet—simply because they paid $8.5 billion for it."
A kdyz je navic evidentni ze lidi u M$ zijou v uplne jiny realite nez ja:
"Skype contacted Tim Verry very immediately after he posted his story. Mark Gillett, Skype’s Corporate VP of Product Engineering & Operations asserted that "the changes were made in order to 'improve the Skype user experience', not to open the doors to tapping." He went on to say, "As part of our ongoing commitment to continually improve the Skype user experience, we developed supernodes which can be located on dedicated servers within secure datacenters. This has not changed the underlying nature of Skype’s peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture, in which supernodes simply allow users to find one another (calls do not pass through supernodes). We believe this approach has immediate performance, scalability and availability benefits for the hundreds of millions of users that make up the Skype community.""Takze sem si postahoval co bylo potreba, cimz zdravim chlapce do Redmondu a na rozloucenou si dame tu nasi !!
