I find it very rude when open #Github issues are closed automatically after a time of no activity. You mean the effort I invested to analyze and write up the issue is worth nothing when you don't have the time to look at it? I don't appreciate it. Either don't accept issues at all or leave them open and triage them.

@nprofile1q... So how are you going to disprove the claim that you need hyperscalers when providing a service like #Signal does? Because that is what your post said. But I don’t see you providing a service like Signal does. And I’m sure DeltaChat does good stuff, but I was using PGP for mails 20 years ago. So maybe don’t try do dunk on another service while providing the same metadata protection we had 20 years ago?

I find it bold stating that #DeltaChat doesn’t need a hyperscaler like #Signal does when it is based on… email servers. Where there is no audio/video calling. Where every sender and recipient server knows who is communicating with whom. Where you need to trust every decentralized server to not keep that information. Maybe be less smug if you can’t provide metadata protection. 🙄 @nprofile1q... https://chaos.social/@delta/115454041149791990

In 8 years of project time we got about a tenth of the money that signal gives to hyperscalers, yearly. We can only tackle the challenge...

#TIL that the #IAEA uses something called a „COBRA seal“ to seal relevant objects against manipulation. One type of these seals works by using a multi-core optical cable. When the seal is locked a random number of cores are cut. This creates a unique optical pattern that can be verified simply by shining a light into the cable and can’t be recreated.
