Happy #internationalwomensday
Trans women are women.
But you don't have to agree with me on that to know that demonizing people for a harmless characteristic, telling the public they are an "enemy within," and passing highly targeted legislation intended to deny them access to public life is immoral, undemocratic, and dangerous to us all.

PSA for those caring for older relatives.
Urinary tract infections are especially common among older adults, regardless of gender. The first outward sign of a UTI is dementia. So if your relative who is normally lucid starts to ramble more than usual, that could be it. I and multiple friends all learned this the hard way. Now you don't have to.

I am now unemployed. I'm scared, but I'm so fluffing relieved to be out of that company.

Listen up. I didn't want to say this earlier b/c maybe it wasn't obvious to them, but the Russian conspiracy that is now in charge of our executive branch is also in control over the .gov DNS zone file. The entire thing.
IDK what this means for .gov content indexed on sites like archive.org. According to their rules, the domain administrator can request and get the redaction of all content within that domain.

I was thinking about turning in for the night, since tomorrow is going to be a long day with a big server upgrade, but Window of Opportunity came on, so it looks like I might be up for another hour.

My wife and I have really been enjoying Paralino for (supposedly) private family location sharing. Now that the client has been released for iOS the kid is running it as well.
Sadly, as it's not deGoogled (yet) I had to change the way I use my Private Space on GrapheneOS by allowing location access, but only allow it for certain apps. I plan on doing a write up soon, after we've put the iOS client through its paces.

#chatmail if a single device setup is used end-to-end encrypted message get removed after the app downloaded it. The situation is different for multi device setups, right?

in reply to rohden • • •Delta Chat
in reply to feld • • •@rohden @fabrice it's still an evolving discussion. World-wide, multi-device setups are an edge case. On the fediverse, single-device-only is an edge case likely.
FWIW introducing some form of multi-device P2P syncing (preferably without requring that both devices are online -- there are actually ways to achieve that) would mean that #chatmail servers can always remove delivered mails, further minimizing costs of operating a chatmail server which is already exceptionally cheap.

in reply to Matthieu Weber 🇫🇷/🇫🇮 • • •@matthieu yes, many chatmail servers are not ddos protected likely. Some run in environments where ddos protection exists.
Fwiw ddossing all email servers world wide is probably a daunting task and would bring most governments and institutions to a grinding halt.
We have stopped publishing about need chatmail server setups half a year ago btw and are to devise a decentralized way to distribute information about chatmail servers. We don't want to provide public block lists, basically.

in reply to Roland OE1RSA • • •There are existing users with own email setups using different stacks such as Exim mail server and we are not dropping support for them. You can always self-host an email server and use Delta Chat with it. You might not get push notifications because there is still no standard for e.g. WebPush on IMAP, but all other features work exactly the same with chatmail and with other standard email setups that can speak SMTP and IMAP.

in reply to feld • • •Hi and thanks for your blog post. I must say I was skeptical at first as I had already tried deltachat and I wasn't convinced. At the time I was under the impression that the main advantage of deltachat over other IM services was that there was no need for creating another account. I just used existing email accounts and then hit (as expected) the issues mentioned in your post among others.
It's a shame because I think that was the one thing that could have made DeltaChat worth the try for non technical user.
I can see myself use it, as a concerned, motivated "technically educated" user but it seems it's not mature enough for ordinary people, as I read some features are missing regarding user-friendliness and a lot of people in my contacts list would just dismiss it if it doesn't show the same level of features as what they're currently using.
In the meantime the best middle ground I found was matrix with a select list of bridges but I'm not losing hope of finding some better alternative so I'll definitely keep an eye on DeltaChat.

Personally I look at deltachat/chatmail as email v2 a la carte.
I use it in classic unencrypted mode for one [classic] email account, and another [chatmail] account for encrypted DM's.
Btw. what happens if we both change our chatmail adress to 'john@samemailchatserver.io'?

in reply to Léon van Kammen • • •@lvk @lionel whoever changes first creates the account / sets the password. If anyone else tries they will not be able to login.
If someone does get your password they won't be able to successfully impersonate you without your key
