Delta Chat<p>As far as we know <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/deltachat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deltachat</span></a> supports the widest range of old mobile devices. And it's real often hard work to achieve that. For example, on android three (!) rust/networking experts needed to huddle for many days to sort out "how to get own device IP addresses". They ended up implementing several mechanisns suitable for respective android versions. It became part of the <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@n0iroh" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>n0iroh</span></a></span> network rust stack that powers Delta's integrated peer-to-peer <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/webxdc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>webxdc</span></a> realtime networking.</p>

Metadata Minimization &amp; Burner Accounts <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DeltaChat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeltaChat</span></a>’s "burner accounts" auto-delete after set periods, disrupting <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/social" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>social</span></a> graph mapping. ETH Zurich notes: <br>&gt; "While metadata protection remains challenging, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DeltaChat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeltaChat</span></a>’s decentralized provider model limits single-point surveillance" . <br>➤ Limitation: No perfect forward secrecy (PFS) due to PGP constraints .</p>

V2 Encryption: Mandatory E2EE &amp; Audited Cryptography <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DeltaChat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeltaChat</span></a> V2 enforces end-to-end encryption by default, eliminating legacy "unencrypted chat" risks. The Rust-based core uses rPGP (audited OpenPGP library) with Ed25519 (same as Signal) and post-quantum algorithms.

Evgeny<p>При блокировке <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chatmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chatmail</span></a>, то что мы делаем?

При этом теряем контакты, необходимо заново обмениваться qr между контактами. При блокировке прокси <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>signal</span></a>, мы меняем прокси, а контакты все остаются.

Michał Narecki<p>I know I'm gonna sound like a broken record but... This is your reminder to use decentralized services, especially when it comes to communication. They guarantee better resilience to censorship and there's no single point of failure. If you've been following me for some time you probably already know my recommendation: <a href="https://101010.pl/tags/DeltaChat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeltaChat</span></a> 📨 😍 </p><p>Fun fact: I migrated my <a href="https://101010.pl/tags/chatmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chatmail</span></a> relay to a new VPS yesterday. It took me about an hour (most of it waiting for DNS to propagate). I'm actually quite surprised how it easy the process was.</p><p>Thankfully, the address hasn't changed 😅 The relay is (still) geared towards Polish-speaking users hence we don't have an English version (yet).

Alado<p>Помните, я недавно просил помочь с тестированием <a href="https://lastfree.space/search?tag=DeltaChat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeltaChat</span></a>? Ну отозвавшиеся наверняка помнят. Тогда мы получили довольно странные результаты. Решив раз и навсегда понять, что происходит, я достал свой старый, любимый, надёжный как пулемёт Максим, смартфон OnePlus 7T. Поставил на него и на мой текущий смартфон (OnePlus 10 Pro) DeltaChat и стал регистрироваться на разных chatmail-серверах и на разных почтовых серверах и сравнивать результаты.</p><p>В общем, если говорить коротко, обнаружилось, что DC на OnePlus 10 Pro не может подключиться ни к одному почтовому серверу по SMTP!!!. К любому chatmail-серверу подключается на ура.<br>OnePlus 7T отлично подключается к чему угодно.</p><p>Я вообще не могу представить, почему такое может происходить, <s>но результат исследования однозначен — у меня новый адрес DC.</s></p>
