Is there a guide to launch a #chatmail instance on #FreeBSD to use with #DeltaChat ? Boosts appreciated

По ходу сдох один из релеев #DeltaChat. Удолил его из списка. Но в «Соединениях» он остался и продолжает валить ошибку Host unreacheable. Очень удобно, очень понятно. 😕

I've been testing the new #Jolla phone for a couple of days now. At the same time I'm documenting the experience and I will publish it as an honest review on my blog. So far I should say that it is a very smooth experience. Native app availavility is an issue, but because we xan install Android apps, situation is not bad at all. I installed Signal, WhatsApp, #DeltaChat and they all work very smoothly. Well done @jolla@techhub.social #SailfishOS

Yay! I was not expecting to see my #deltachat client for GNOME available in FlatHub that early, but the last 0.7.2 release has been published! Thanks to @prodrigestivill@mastodont.cat for helping me push the package, to all the reviewers involved and @flathub@floss.social maintainers for making it happen! https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.trufae.Parla

The #DeltaChat server that I was using seems to have stopped working for receiving messages, which sucks 😞 but such is the nature of decentralisation 🤷 It's really easy just to start a new account on a new server - so that's not really a problem - but I'm lucky that I only have one contact that message on the app because "re-adding" people isn't super straight forward. 🤔 #technology #apps #messagingApps #internet #chat #e2ee

@jon@social.vivaldi.net @h4890@merovingian.club My experience within my IRL circles is that people do not generally care enough directly about these issues to make any changes. However, they do care about social, political and other issues affecting their world, nation and daily life... so if you wait until they complain about any of these issues and then clearly link their issues to one of our solutions involving #privacy, #decentralisation, #digitalsovereignty, #opensource, #ethicaltech, etc. in a subtle and not-pushy way, you can have a good chance of success. Using this strategy, I managed to persuade all of my family members to #gnuLinux, and all of my family and most of my extended family + in-laws that I'm in contact with are now on #DeltaChat. @jon@social.vivaldi.net @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net Btw, would be great to have a light stripped-down version of #Vivaldi without the any of the proprietary UI bits for people who prefer Open Source. You could even make it a paid offering like some other browsers. #FreeSoftware

I didn't choose #DeltaChat on a whim, I did a month long deep dive into various private messengers which involved reading whitepapers, watching conference talks, installing the apps on my low-end phone and participating in group chats. I looked into multi-device support, battery drain, data usage, difficulty of writing bots/apps, funding sources, and number of devs.

Over the years I got friends and family to install #Telegram to chat to me, as I refuse to use #WhatsApp (ever since Facebook bought them). Telegram was always a stop-gap until the proper solution came along, and now #DeltaChat is it, especially since calls are now implemented. Also their Telegram accounts are getting hacked, so now begins the process of getting them to delete Telegram and install DeltaChat. Don't @ me about Signal. #privacy #messenger

#Signal troubleshooting - very odd support conversation Yesterday afternoon I had a quick video call with someone using Signal and then I went to pick up my child from an afternoon summer program. When I got home I realized that my phone wasn't receiving any new messages on Signal... but my computer was. Signal on my phone was completely frozen. I followed a prompt and sent the most recent log to their support email. Then carried on with my life. At some point, 2 hours later, I had a eureka moment: the last thing that worked was a call. Let's try the same thing. So I called my mom and hung up (she was in the same room as me). After the call, all the Signal messages that had accumulated during the afternoon magically synched. Everything worked again! And then I found a new message by Signal saying "Welcome to the official Signal release chat!" Ok. Glad I was distracted by my child and dinner because when I checked my email, I found a response from Signal support: "It appears the database is irrecoverably damaged. Unfortunately you will need to completely uninstall and then reinstall Signal. This will delete your message history. It cannot be recovered." Say what? 😳​ So I wrote back to Signal that I had fixed my issue by simply starting a call and then all the messages started synching again. I thanked them for their speedy reply and said everything was ok. I did the bedtime routine for my child and before bed I checked my email again. Two identical emails from Signal: "Hello. We understand your frustration. We feel it too" HUH? "There is no specific timeline for a resolution at this moment." WHAT RESOLUTION, I SAID I FIXED THE PROBLEM? "Please keep in mind we are a small team and have limitations as a non-profit organization. Uninstalling and reinstalling is the only action available." I feel for you Signal and I'm super grateful for all you do, but maybe your LLM support system needs some tweaking. Because this has got to be some LLM that misunderstood my reply. Thank goodness I didn't wipe 6 years' worth of messages, gaaah. Signal has been working perfectly ever since. Still, I'm now compiling a list of people I message on there as a contingency plan, should thing go awry again. I've been using #DeltaChat more lately and more and really love it. one more tale for #MySoCalledSudoLife #NoAI #LLM

#molly, un fork de l'application #signal parvient désormais à échanger des messages en étant encore plus lent que l'email... En plus de nous imposer la #surveillance de la #bigtech, #signal oeuvre pour limiter les autres applications sur les serveurs loués à #amazon ! Certes la sécurité c'est bien, mais à ce prix non... Bien sûr des alternatives existent : je conseille #DeltaChat pour la famille et les amis et #simplex pour les trucs plus militants...

After I was arrested, I decided to change the way we promote and introduce DeltaChat. Until then, we had always presented DeltaChat merely as a communication channel for when the internet goes down in Iran, and people used it exactly for that reason. But now that DeltaChat has drawn so much attention in Iran, and even someone like me has been arrested for promoting it, I think it's much wiser to shift our content strategy. Instead of portraying DeltaChat only as a way out during internet blackouts, it's better to introduce it as a practical, everyday tool. Honestly, getting back into this kind of work is very difficult for me. But still, I genuinely believe it can be very helpful and I feel I have to do it. My goal is for ordinary people in Iran to use DeltaChat for its actual features and built-in tools, not just as an emergency app. Ultimately, I want DeltaChat to become a mainstream, everyday messenger here in our own Iran at least here and maybe, just maybe, even help people in other places too. But well, that's exactly the big challenge. #deltachat #decentralized #freesoftware

the #ArcaneChat channels list now also has #Russian channels the list is rather short, if you know someone with a channel in Russian that would like to add it to the list, tell them to contact me https://arcanechat.me/channels #DeltaChat #chatmail #Russia #channels

I've been recommending people use/try #DeltaChat more than #Signal and it's worked far better than I thought! It's screen reader friendly also, across desktop and mobile! At least, on Windows anyway. https://delta.chat/en/help#multiclient #Chat #Privacy

From today, following a truly extreme undemocratic process (actually a farce), all your chats can be read. For no reason at all. Any cop, admin or politician: whenever they feel like it, they can read what you write to your family, partner or friends. There will be a trade in private pornographic material. Blackmail and defamation will increase even further. The end of democracy… if it ever existed in the first place. If you want to protect yourselves, use (for example) DeltaChat!!Because although they’re evil, they’re stupid. DeltaChat is decentralised, which means there’s no single point they can monitor. If you fancy giving it a go, feel free to send me a test message! I’d love that! #chatkontrolle #eu #uberwachung #deltachat #resist https://i.delta.chat/#13C88831665555AF6C1BF69732E782C4C2F0A9ED&v=3&i=4f5friF2Ni-5JnMgiXYi5yrt&s=V20psyMVL2iz694S6s5qijVb&a=o81hx620r%40chat.adminforge.de&n=Reverend+Elvis
