Just so you know you can get push notifications on Jami. Jami has been supporting unified push notification for a while now, but it’s opt-in, some might not opt for it considering reducing privacy a bit, as some actually disable the proxy and some phone specific feature intending to prevent battery exhausting too fast.

For unified push support you can take a look at jami’s article about its unified push support. I use ntfy BTW.

Perhaps a misinterpretation from mojeek’s wiki:

Mojeek also displays significantly more individual entries in its search results than Google or Bing

Are you sure the phone it doesn’t work on is older than android 7? According to its f-droid jami URL its latest version as well as two more also documented there, they all work on android 7 or later.

I use LOS4uG, and I’m currently on android 14, so no need to build jami myself. Can you enable “unstable updates” on f-droid’s “expert mode”? Perhaps then you get latest app, and that one works better. Otherwise you can report an issue to the android client, and perhaps you get guidance from them. You can also use their forum to ask questions. I have filed issues only so far.

dino is a gnu+linux software, built with gtk4. If you’re using windows then the option is gajim, which in order to support omemo needs a plugin, though I can’t tell much more than that about it since I can’t even recall when was the last time I used windows.

That said, conversations has one important setting if syncing devices, which is indicating that the client won’t delete messages, the server will. Not sure why that is not the default, I guess statistically most xmpp users just make use of conversations and that’s it. The other important setting is configuring security for omemo always. Dino doesn’t need any setting for letting the server delete messages (it does when there’s no pending device to be synced) and doesn’t offer that option, and at the moment the user must be careful and set each conversation to be secured by omemo with no exceptions, but it’s already merged on master, and waiting for a new release, the option for omemo always, as on conversations.

That said, using xmpp doesn’t imply not having jami installed and keep trying it. Who knows, maybe you like it and it works fine for your purpose, and you decide for it to be you main messenger application.

I do !

works pretty well on both AOSP phones and gnu+linux desktops. Sad thing though is that I don’t like using flatpak, and I prefer distro native built software, and on Artix/Arch, there are times where the version between the distro version is slightly outdated with regards to the mobile version, and that makes things not to work. This is mainly an issue ever since jami decided to stop supporting the gtk client on the desktop, to me the qt experience have been sad. Not sure if someone has forked the gtk client, that would be great.

So I’m using xmpp as my main messenger, and keep trying jami when it works.

I really like the p2p approach from jami, and also the way they care for those with no huge batteries phones, given they added support for unified push notifications, which can be of course avoided if required for extra privacy. Given my use case, I can’t turn jami into my main messenger yet, but I keep trying, :) Meanwhile xmpp is there for me.

Is it something you have to trust they comply with what they say?

Nice that it has its own indexes, but according to this comparison its proprietary SW, running on UK servers without tor interface, and being backed or debated at least by UK politicians. We’re not talking about a not for profit organization either, and they do have individualized answers as well, so they have the mechanisms to individualize results to queries, meaning they keep information about your queries. So in the end, it boils down to the user trusting its service it seems.

Yes, meta search engines do not provide their own indexes, but searxNG is at least open source, you can select the search engines to use, included mojeek, and they serve as a front end preventing the underneath engine to track you (whether it’s against their public policy or not) as if you were to use such engine directly.

Not on conversations, and soon not on dino either. Not sure about others, those are the ones I use and like.

Conversation let you configure that all conversations are omemo secure by default (omemo always). Dino’s next release will include it as well (omemo always issue)

Actually xmpp is low on metadata compared to matrix which has to replicate a bunch of metadata everywhere. SimpleX look interesting, though by not being federated (considered by simpleX a privacy feature) whether you like their client or not. Just so you know privacyguides has explained why they don’t advertise xmpp as privacy oriented, and the reason is not that it isn’t, it’s simply that given it’s federated, they consider some clients are not as compliant or up to date, which is up to the user to select on XMPP, and also up to the user to file bugs against their preferred client or even contribute it with changes.

Not a hurricane tracker, but I’d like understand a bit about open-meteo and breezy weather. I notice for my country there’s no way to be more specific than the whole country, therefore location needs to be enable, or so I guess.

Does open-meteo requires some information exchange such that it’s easy to identify the user/device? Does breezy weather actually attempts to anonymize the user or fake it to make them non identifiable?

Just wondering.

Thanks !

There’s as well !monero!monero@lemmy.ml which I guess halted in favor of !monero!monero@monero.town?

If this is the case, I’m wondering why not locking the community, writing a message in the community information to go to the actual active one (!monero!monero@monero.town)…

I’m missing emoji reactions (not replies), jeje

I’m not aware of any, do you mind sharing anyone, better if not requiring account?

BTW I can easily find blogs about p2p solutions for whatever, but not about p2p blogging solutions…

The issue with social networks is the account requirement. Even though decentralized, they still require servers with accounts. If you, to prevent not being able to access at some point included an email, and the server gets hacked, then there you go.

Perhaps is a mistake of mine, to think social networks are not anonymous enough. Maybe they are. But tracking mechanisms are so sophisticated now a days, than the need for an account make me think they won’t ever be. That’s why I excluded social networks. Perhaps it’s the only option as of Today though.

ok, thanks !

umap on french servers, and umap is between other things an API on top of open streetmap…

Is that correct?

I has improved quite a bit. The phone app still requires navigating over its settings to get less battery consumption, and having ntfy or any other unifiedPush notification provider available in the phone. But with the default configs, you get Jami working at least. I tried it before, and I found before synchronization between devices was a mess. Currently it just works. I still find it hard on immediate/urgent calls or messages, which might not happen when you expect, but other than that it’s working.

On the desktop, the default configs are pretty sane.

And the best part, it’s being actively developed. And the UI is undergoing through lots of improvements. So if usability is your concern, it’s getting better, and each release improves over the prior one…

The audit is true, but at least Jami didn’t make up its own crypto lib, it uses standard already in use crypto stuff. To there’s a huge difference there.

BTW, they are actually re-writing stuff… But yes, they need more recent audits…

Have you read it’s github front page?

This is an experimental cryptographic network library. It has not been formally audited by an independent third party that specializes in cryptography or cryptanalysis. Use this library at your own risk.

BTW, if you look at its issues (including closed ones, which most probably aren’t really closed) you’ll find pretty interesting discussions about its crypto not being right. That said, I’m not sure what irungentoo brings to the picture…

At any rate, if you’re looking for distributed messaging, I’d look into Jami. It also uses DHT and something similar to torrents mechanism. Jami is my only option so far for distributed messaging. There’s also Briar, but I don’t like it for regular messaging, particularly on phones (too much battery usage), neither its underlying technology, but if it’s to your liking, then that’s another option for distributing messaging.
