#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. ❤️ 👇

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 ;-)

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.




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.

If you want to dive deep into guaranteed end-to-end encryption and how green checkmarks protect against compromised servers ("MITM attacks"), the "Cryptographic Analysis of Delta Chat" from Applied Cryptography researchers at ETH Zuerich has been published at eprint.iacr.org/2024/918.pdf -- earlier this year we had blogged from our side how we addressed all findings delta.chat/en/2024-03-25-crypt…

Pretty sure, that i have already installed 1.46.5 on #Android... 😉

#DeltaChat


#deltachat_desktop version 1.46.0 is now released:

🐣 New Onboarding: ⚡️Sign up to secure fast #chatmail servers or use classic e-mail servers

💻 Collapse chat list on small screens or window sizes

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
⭐ Convergence: App automatically switches to multi-column mode depending on its width
⭐ Option to send with Enter; Ctrl-Enter always sends

and much more, see the changelog for the full list: codeberg.org/lk108/deltatouch/…

A major milestone in our 6+ years long project history: With the rolling 1.46 #deltachat app releases you can start chatting without a pre-existing e-mail address, and benefit from push notifications (instant message delivery) also on Android. We also highlight ways to get in contact with bots and humans, and how #chatmail makes e-mail cheap again delta.chat/en/2024-05-31-insta…


I forgot to mention that this test release is the first with macOS :apple_inc: arm / Apple Silicon / M1 builds, so it runs much faster on the newer macOS machines now. ⚡ 🔥

Please help us to find bugs before we make the full release:

The next TESTRELEASE for #deltachat_desktop is ready for your feedback.

🚀 Instant Onboarding
🤳 Better instructions and troubleshooting button to “Add as Second Device” dialog
📋 Accept images from clipboard in QR reader
🖼️ ✂️ Image cropper for profile image selector
🗺️ Use openstreetmap in map, open map in separate window

Please help us to test the new 1.45 version so we can fix the bugs before the big release:

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!

I'm currently working on a new npm package that will replace deltachat-node (which is still based on the cffi and NAPI).
The new npm package will make use of the #reproducible buildable deltachat-rpc-server binaries, which will make cross compiling much easier.

A nice side-effect to this is that the new npm packet is even somewhat compatible with #deno
Nice work on the part of Deno for their node compatibility!

Let me know If you would be interested in writing #deltachat #bots with #deno


#cryptography news: rpgp, the pure Rust #OpenPGP encryption engine used in all #deltachat apps, got quite some love lately, including a revamp of the main entry point for developers: github.com/rpgp/rpgp . You may regard rpgp as an extension of the #rustcrypto effort where a lot of the base code lives and is co-maintained by the wonderful diginifiedquire who also just landed a long awaited sha1-collision detector -- as one of the few people officially allowed to write crypto code :)


How many people do you know that have lost their messaging history on Whatsapp or Signal, photos etc during mobile phone transitions or breakage or through other shenenigans?

With #deltachat you can:

- export "everything" to a file and import it on any of the many different devices

- or just setup a second device through a QR code scan -- which was happily discovered here after an accidental factory reset libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-2…


The last #deltachat 1.44 release round did not only contain a lot of UI/UX milestones but also 20 security fixes based on a deep analysis from Yuanming Song and colleagues of the Applied Cryptography group at ETH Zuerich delta.chat/en/2024-03-25-crypt…


checking #deltachat #iOS 1.44.1 before starting a testflight. no good camera left to take the photo :)

the update comes with quite some long awaited UI fixes - and PUSH notifications got a preview now



Once upon ...

While #DeltaChat #Android paved the way for reactions, #iOS and #Desktop did not stand back with awe!
But ran ahead!
Adding tons more possible reactions than poor #Android that could react with 👍👎❤️😂 or 🙁 only! Mostly with 🙁 :)

... but now #DeltaChat #Android catches up, allowing all the things as well :)


#deltachat just got four major usability improvements as the 1.44 releases are rolling out
💗 Reactions on all platforms
💗 iOS Push notifications
💗 Multi-account desktop sidebar
💗 share invite links via other messengers. Enjoy :)
