More and more I am looking through @Delta Chat apps and resources I believe this should become number one messenger of choice for screen reader users.
The developers are constantly improving its #a11y. It's secure from the start of using.
Additionally the desktop chat has under gone an #accessibility audit and accessibility issues are clearly documented in public.
I am not sure other messenger style app on the planet has such dedicated commitment to accessibility ever.

Issues from Accessibility audit · Issue #4743 · deltachat/deltachat-desktop

We recently got an accessibility quick scan from HAN. They took some time to discuss/test the app with us in a call and gave us a report. treefit and wofwca also made notes during the call, this is...

@Piciok @clv0 ah, using delta for cleartext mail requires a classic email provider indeed. It's best to use a separate profile for that, and not mix it with e2ee encrypted chatting.

@clv0 Which is where my problem kicks in. I was the most successful with Onet, one of the biggest and best known Polish providers, however they banned my newly created account instantly after noticing I was chatting from Delta, no doubt sensing suspicious activity.

@Paweł Masarczyk While testing I have used gmail or my own classic email account. It worked but I have understood using #chatmail servers is what makes it most attractive. I think I have read a blogpost from someone a few months ago explaining this very well that inspired me, however I can't find that article in my browser history right now. CC @Cleverson @Delta Chat

@Piciok My provider is posteo.de. I hope they won't ban me when I try...

@clv0 @Piciok posteo should be fine. They have rate limits but unless you are entering very large chatty groups that shouldn't matter.

@Paweł Masarczyk @Cleverson I know you are looking for a way to stay in contact with people you are already connected to using traditional email. Still I would recommend creating a #chatmail account on your relay of choice just for testing so you can start with an empty profile and you'll get to experience the @Delta Chat the way it has been meant to. Then as an exercise continue with other more advanced scenarios such as classic email login.
The #chatmail based onboarding is really very simple, there is nothing to do wrong.

@patricus @clv0 @Piciok you will need to share an invite link because the email address it not enough to establish end-to-end encrypted communication. You can get the invite link behind the QR code button. Moreover, we suggest to send such an invite link privately, to prevent abuse by anyone joining a chat ;)

@patricus @clv0 @Piciok you can post the invite link publically but some of the MITM-protection guarantees that invitelinks provide degrade then. In this case, somewhere deep in a Fediverse thread limiting visibility of the post to "mentioned users only" would do it.

Woohoo. My #chatmail server just to experience the fun and enjoy some real simple end to end encrypted chatting where the server side is light on resources as well is now live.
My next mission is getting the location streaming to work and play with some realtime apps.

I am always configuring mikrotik devices using command line interface connecting using SSH. A few days ago I was explaining something to a friend and I have discovered its web UI in Mikrotik OS v7 has working keyboard navigation and some aria stuff in there. I find it positive and surprising. #a11y

Playing with various technologies tonight. Managed to setup a brand new debian 12 systemd-nspawn container. Now looking through various documentation and other internet sources to combine it to a working #chatmail relay server. The thing is I only have a single IP address on the host system so I need to adapt it so the nginx running on the host either redirects or proxies to the container. Plus I guess I need to share the certificate in some way so postfix and dovecot can use it too.

Hmm, encoding #braille into music tones has recently been featured in the #braille200. I think it's nice for fun. Still I'm wondering if some of you might be able to understand it in real time.

Ummm, I have updated to @Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox daily 137 20250214 and subsequently 20250216 and I have embarassing issue with it. I can't send emails. When pressing ctrl+enter or corresponding item from the File menu, nothing happens. I'm on linux.
Let's look into the bugzilla if someone else has found it too.

@Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox I have discovered this is not a bug but some kind of corruption in my thunderbird profile.
This is printed to the console while trying to send an email.
All the sqlite files in the profile folder have some content, none of them is corrupted according to sqlite3 pragma integrity_check; but I still can't figure it out.

I'd like to create #wireguard tunnel between two natted machines. I'm fine with using an intermediate third machine for IP addresses and ports discovery.
The idea outlined in this article sounds verry appealing to me.
However I'm wondering is there something that is developed further beyond a proof of concept I might look at instead? I know there is #tailscale. That sounds too much for me unfortunatelly as I do need to register with them and similar. Thus I'm exploring if there is something I can self host.
