With our #deltachat #chatmail and #webxdc efforts we put all intelligence on the end devices, and architecutally separate it from a transport layer that routes safely and fast but knows nothing.

There are a dozen or more #chatmail servers across many jurisdictions, all safely interopable with each other and classic servers.

Turned out we can dumb down email servers by relying on cryptography instead of IP reputation and ai/spam filtering. And have 200ms delivery times. We are not done :)


#deltachat_desktop 1.48.0 is currently releasing. Lots of under-the-hood code changes and bugfixes.

AppStores, besides flathub already have the new release. flathub will follow soon.

#deltachat


Hello, do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior, Delta Chat? #DeltaChat @delta 🙏🏻🤲🏻


this is #deltacat watching the ongoing 1.48 #deltachat releases carefully - thanks to @adbenitez and automated store watching, this is much less stressing, just right for a cat relaxing ~#caturday


Man müsste mal ausprobieren ob sich #chatmail als #tor hidden service aufsetzen lässt, ich könnte mir vorstellen dass man da weder ip noch domain braucht. Die Nutzenden bräuchten nur zusätzlich tor. Wenn das gut funktioniert könnten wir mal nen experimentellen fork machen von #deltachat der #tor Arti (rust implementation) schon eingebaut hat. 🤔


Neue - nicht ganz offene - #chatmail-Instanz: Auf einem #RaspberryPi Zero 2 mit UPS und Wlan ins Handynetz für #DeltaChat

Funktioniert gut. Kosten: 54 Euro (mit "Gehäuse", teilweise noch offen), brauchte nur extra Schrauben und Abstandhalter zum Zusammenbau.

Einziger Wehrmutstropfen: Ohne dedizierte IPv4 geht es nicht, und die kostet 5,16 Euro Minimum im Monat bei Vorauszahlung für ein Jahr.

Und jetzt wird es spannend: Die Frontpage von chatmail soll eine richtige Homepage werden...


Preventing enshittificatiom with the "Ulysses pact" from @pluralistic pluralistic.net/2024/11/02/uly…

We consider our efforts aligned: #deltachat #chatmail and #webxdc implement "right to exit" on all levels of our decentralized messaging project.

- deploy your own servers permission free and interoperable with all e-mail servers ("federation mast")
- all apps and libraries and server components are 100% Foss
- interactive chat-shared web-apps can be used in other messengers

#DeltaTouch #DeltaChat #Webxdc


you could be recommending #DeltaChat that is an #e2ee #email client with an UI that looks like #WhatsApp, you could even provide it to your users as a chatting #decentralized solution using your email server, which fits with your business, but instead you prefer to recommend centralized phone-number based apps like #Signal 😭


Running #chatmail servers is <2h effort per month, according to an ad-hoc poll with 10 operators responding. Some have 10Ks of #deltachat users. Typically 300MB ram is used and max 60gb disc space per server. And all interoperate safely based on high security standards (DKIM and TLS enforced, and only no-metadata #openpgp encrypted messages allowed) .... with typically 0.5 secs end-to-end delivery. Who said again that email is insecure, cumbersome and slow? :)


Werft mal einen Blick auf die Messenger-Matrix. Trotz aller Bemühungen kann es sein, dass nicht alle Informationen zu den Messengern aktuell sind. In diesem Fall bitte ich um Rückmeldung, damit ich die Matrix anpassen kann. ❤️ 👇

Hello there ! :)

Do you know if someone is working on use #webxdc in #matrix ?

Actually I wonder how how much it's the same as widget? 🤔

#deltachat and #xmpp can already use it ! 😁


In der Anwendung von freier, offener und wirtschaftlich fair betriebener Software sehen die Lukis eine praktische Verbindung zur #Freiheit des Evangeliums und vieler Narrative biblischer Texte.

Das war auch an diesem @luki@kirche.social Wochenende im Theologischen Seminar Herborn wieder zu spüren.

Ganz praktisch ging es z.B. um #GNUTaler, /e/OS, digitales in Kirchengemeinden, #Grist, #Matrix und Bots, #DeltaChat, #ElementX und die Server-Admin bei @hostsharing@geno.social

Die Location war ünrigens einzigartig ;-)

ArcaneChat (previously known as #DeltaLab) an alternative Delta Chat client for #Android is now available in official F-Droid store!

If you already have it you can securely continue to upgrade it now from F-Droid (or #IzzyOnDroid) thanks to #ReproducibleBuilds which ensures the apk matches the source code and not me nor F-Droid is manipulating the binary 🎉

Did you know that #deltachat does not need and does not use key servers? Most other messengers (wa/signal/matrix/threema/...) actually operate or incorporate a cryptographic key server, managing the cryptographic identities of all users. Delta Chat uses decentralized protocols for key management avoiding a central storage of identities. The SecureJoin protocol is the key (sic!) innovation and was independently analyzed by ETH Zürich researchers earlier this year .... delta.chat/en/2024-03-25-crypt…


Shout out to AccessNow folks and @Xeniax who helped to convince Meta to unblock #deltachat invite URLs in Facebook. Previously delta invite-links on Facebook were marked as "dangerous" and didn't work.

sidenote: if you send someone an invite-link, they can click it directly after they installed Delta Chat because they will be guided through the "create-profile" flow automatically and then be dropped into a chat with the inviter.

DeltaTouch 1.6.0 is out, finally bringing basic Webxdc support as well as bugfixes and minor improvements 🎉

Many Webxdc apps just work already.

Some apps like Webxdc Store (via xstore@testrun.org) need stuff that's not there yet (add apps as file attachments for now). For a few others, touch input isn't working (e.g., ChessBoard). Will tackle that in the next months.

Webxdc support in DeltaTouch is generously funded by @nlnet / @NGIZero.

And here the presentation from @flub of the intergration of #iroh_net into #deltachat for the setup second device feature.

#iroh #iroh_net

If you wonder what iroh is. #deltachat uses it for second device setup and soon also for realtime #p2p connections in #webxdc


Basic Webxdc support is almost there. If you're on Ubuntu Touch 20.04 (Focal), Mobian or Droidian, check out a pre-release: codeberg.org/lk108/deltatouch/…

Feedback welcome :awesome:

More details in the wiki: codeberg.org/lk108/deltatouch/…

This pre-release cannot be installed on UT 16.04 (Xenial), but in the final release, Xenial will be supported.

Back to more interesting matters than these authoritarian #chatcontrol dreams (don't you bet many "AI" companies are lining up to sell automated policing?) ...

Thanks to @dvzrv there now is a rather official #deltachat #arch package archlinux.org/packages/extra/a… 💜


Playing with the idea of a #deltachat bot in #csharp, so far, so good...


The #EUGoingDark 42-point plan for after the election has it all: breaking e2e encryption, "lawful" data retention, prohibiting encrypting metadata, threatening jail to developers for non compliance ..... If we thought authoritarian political currents are moving against privacy then this is an entirely new level ... patrick-breyer.de/en/first-ins…

P.s. we need more #chatmail servers and contributors so that our #deltachat app-dev conglomerate provides resilience against such authoritarian pipe dreams


DeltaTouch version 1.5.0 is out! Main features:

⭐ Count of unread messages in accounts other than the active one

I think my preference for IM might be going to #Deltachat for now. I dislike that Signal wants a phone number and is centralized and won't let F-Droid build and distribute a client. Also, I've been using Matrix and operating a server for years and I was a fool it's bad and I want to quit.

Deltachat works with any email account and uses it for everything, it's basically E2EE chat over IMAP and SMTP using a subset of OpenPGP. It's simple, FOSS, works fine, has stickers!
