thanks a lot!
thanks for the heads-up it was an accident was thinking this was lemmy-support community
it is also not the first time it happens, they have taken a lot of time from me and mainly on weekends or holidays, when the conditions are met I will move away from them, already identified two good candidates, if things go well with them eventually I want to move away completely from Contabo
how to set default language for my posts?
**EDIT: ** I was a bit frustrated while selecting language in a post and created this question quickly on the heat of the moment and didn't realize I created it in the wrong community, sorry. Thanks to the kind and helpful people that replied.
I can't tell enough how frustrating it is to have to select the post language every time, I would like to set it to English by default instead of explicitly having to select it every time, is it possible? I am using the web interface of https://lemmy.ml/

arcanechat.me is down
arcanechat.me server is down due to problems of the VPS provider, it seems they will not solve it during the weekend, read here for more information: https://mastodon.social/@adbenitez/114365235899376996
a good alternative to protonmail for secure encrypted email communication is Delta Chat: https://delta.chat/
you are welcome! 👍
The point of that foreground service is to have such permanent notification visible, that is the way Android designed it, they also allow to hide the notification, that is on the system side not something an app can do on its own since otherwise apps could secretly put hidden/invisible permanent notifications and be always running in background without you noticing
To hide it long-press the notification and options should appear or search on internet "how to hide permanent notification Android 10"
(Note: it is better to create posts focused on one topic/question than making several random questions in a single post, that way it is easier to digest and reply on-point and not to overlook some of the questions or feel overwhelmed, also more useful for readers that will more easily discover posts about the question they are looking for)
Hi, yes I am one of the maintainers of the official Delta Chat, ArcaneChat is the client I use myself, made to my taste, with my own opinionated decisions, also a lot of the features that are added to ArcaneChat are added to official DeltaChat eventually when the rest of the team is convinced it is a good idea or when we have the resources to add the feature to all platforms.
A recent example is: arcanechat.me server was the first server to completely enforce encryption without exceptions, there was some hesitation but now recently the official chatmail relay server deployment got this feature incorporated as well
So to answer your question about why there are two apps: because I can't force people to do whatever I want, so as it is good practice in open source, you fork
Delta Chat was one of the FOSS projects affected: https://chaos.social/@delta/114211300446944585
I would say this is the normal behavior and without this apps wouldn't work properly or connect in background, ex. to receive messages in chat apps and display a notification ex. when the system wakes them up via push notifications
I already explained in my previous message how it is different from Signal, time to read buddy, bye
Meanwhile me not giving a F about this news because I use CalyxOS and the feature to auto-restart the phone on inactivity with fine customizable time and not a fixed 3 days exist since a long time already there
The purpose is already said in the title: private chats for the family
How you don't understand the use case of chatting with the family?
As many other chat apps out there, if you meant the "why this one and not X?" Well there are other acceptable options out there, the advantage of this one compared to WhatsApp, Telegram and co. Is that it doesn't depend on phone numbers or any private data, getting started with the app is painless and smooth, no SMS verification no captcha solving or complex registration, just set your name and start chatting. It is decentralized and anonymous, while having a nice polished UI easy to use on the level of WhatsApp and Telegram, unlike most other alternatives out there
One special feature is the ability to use in-chat mini-apps that are completely "p2p e2ee" between chat members without depending on any server hosting it and working offline first, among such apps: collaborative editor pads, checklists/to-do lists, shopping lists, split bills with friends, chess and other mini-games etc
Another anonymous chat service without phone numbers: https://delta.chat/
DNS problems with arcanechat.me domain
For some odd reason the arcanechat.me domain disappeared from DNS results, I contacted the domain registrar Porkbun and they did something and it seems now it is propagating again, it seems it was some problem with their nameservers, in some minutes/hours everything should be back to normal.

Federation not working properly in my community?
I am using Lemmy as the official community for my ArcaneChat project (https://lemmy.ml/c/ArcaneChat) I do announcements there when there is a new release sharing "what's new?" etc., this gets federated to mastodon/fediverse but when people reply to the post from mastodon the comments doesn't show up in the community (see https://lemmy.ml/post/27324077), is this normal? I am doing something wrong?
thanks in advance!
yes I also noticed that replying to the thread in mastodon is not showing here as comments, no idea why :'(

Signal has no known/published real security audit?
Someone made a compilation of academic reviews and blogposts here: https://community.signalusers.org/t/wiki-overview-of-third-party-security-audits/13243 but none of them seem to be real security audit reports, ex. compare with real security audits to Delta Chat: https://delta.chat/en/help#security-audits
