We’re still preparing the notes for this release, and will post them here when they are ready. Please check back later.

Happy to help :)

(especially when it comes awesome libre software :p)

does it make it so that it’s only “ready” to be triggered by ntfy when it would otherwise poll the server on its own very frequently (so you end up actually saving some battery)?

That’s how I understand it, yes. You change the behaviour of the app by configuring it to use UnifiedPush, so there is less background usage to restrict

Thx for the kind words!

I left the background service on for all the messengers, it’s not like the Unifiedpush ones have anything major to use anyway. This increased the reliability and peace of mind + they never show up as major battery users for me either

it’s rly cool that you’re self hosting this stuff! though I can imagine running your PC 24/7 just for that is quite annoying

also yeah, upstream support for UnifiedPush in the clients for both Signal and Telegram would be great…

But I can imagine that it’s not rly a priority for them.
(I’m not actually skilled enough (yet) to help implement that though either)

So you have set it up over Mollysocket? Do you use your own or a remote instance?

I just haven’t got around to setting it up myself yet… (+ I don’t have my own server yet, so I can’t self host :/)

I can recommend Molly for Signal and Mercurygram for Telegram. Both support UnifiedPush too!

Most libre applications implement their own websockets for this. EDIT: some propriety spyware like WhatsApp use those too, can confirm myself, as I unfortunately have to use it on my GrapheneOS owner profile (which ofc doesn’t have the sandboxed GPlay services installed; I could technically use it on my profile for personal proprietary apps, but it would be a major pita) ENDEDIT
(unfortunately Proton uses only Google FCM in most of their apps and doesn’t publish them on F-Droid or Accrescent)

However, those can take a strain on your battery since every websocket maintains it’s own connection.
This is where UnifiedPush in combination with either nfty or Sunup comes in
(EDIT: I use ntfy myself, also Sunup seems to be quite new, so it might come with some quirks; EDITEND there is also a plugin for your own Nextcloud)

Since Unifiedpush maintains only one connection for every app using it, this takes quite a bit less charge to upkeep
(it’s explained quite well on their website, which is hyperlinked)

If you are looking for Unifiedpush support on Signal: Molly is a hardened fork of the client and does support it through Mollysocket

EDIT: If you use Telegram there is Mercurygram. As for Matrix clients, I use Element and Schildichat. All these support UnifiedPush

This might be a good opportunity to try one of universal blue’s distros

They are kinda “just set and forget” atomic distros, improving on Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite with usability improvements

average Phoronix forum user unfortunately 💀

but Phoronix’ journalism is good

(which is why I only read the articles through my RSS readers and never go on the site or associated forums)

Maybe CalyxOS would be a better fit then?

seems like a good middle ground tbh. No cryptocurrency will ever reach the adoption of fiat. This could make online transactions that would otherwise be made over your creditcard, bank or insert fintech like Paypal quite a bit better

And I’d rather have this than a “digital Euro” or “digital Yuan”

iirc with OpenSuse or Fedora, Secureboot works quite easily too

Google is a tech giant, which abuses peoples privacy with every click

Their phones enable users to (at least partially) escape that bs

that’s what I found to be ironic

this is an article from (imo) one of the best privacy/security tech-blogs out there

it’s in German, but you can probably run it through Firefox local translate

https://www.kuketz-blog.de/lineageos-weder-sicher-noch-datenschutzfreundlich-custom-roms-teil4/

I literally mentioned Calyx and Divest OS as alternatives which support non-google devices

also how is buying a used Pixel and degoogling it to the max with GrapheneOS (with reasonable compromises like optional sandboxed GMS) helping Google?
Didn’t know that cutting their mal-/spyware out, and trying to avoid them and their services wherever possible actually helped them, silly me 🤷‍♀️
(I assume this to be the standard way for most ppl and plan on doing that as well once my current Huawei phone breaks)

please learn to read before insulting other ppl with your less-than-a-day-old account lol

It is ironic, but that’s the best you can get in terms of security on Android, which is why GrapheneOS supports nothing else

Lineage OS is a shitshow when it comes to privacy and security

(no locked bootloader, using Google DNS by default)

From what I understand, GrapheneOS has the goals of being the best of the best when it comes to Android security.

There is and always will be CalyxOS or DivestOS for a wider range of devices (both are still much better than the likes of LineageOS and Pixelexperience)
