So, if someone needs to contact me on #Signal, I'm jezusmichal.666.
Thanks to @… for the idea!

EDIT: I'm also reachable via IRC and Matrix. All the contact methods are on my homepage: https://mgorny.pl/
So I have had paid a monthly donation to #Signal for years. For reasons I cannot be bothered to go into right now I decided to put my subscription on hold for a bit.
Now, I have to say, I do not like how this is implemented on Signal (for Android). It is harder and less obvious than it should be.

Zur Zeit laufen offenbar Angriffe auf Signal, die versuchen die Konten von Journalisten etc zu übernehmen. Das ist daher problematisch, als dadurch auch die Konten aller Kontakte einsehbar sind und unter fremdem Namen kontaktiert werden können.
Der wichtigste Tipp, um nicht auf Phishing beim Messenger #Signal reinzufallen: Setzt die Registrierungssperre in den Einstellungen > Konto

Did I say #signal should have a #scheduled send button (that is transparent for the receiver)
Anyone else having problems with #Signal saying that it has failed to update?
My wife is part of styre for our borettslag. For non-Norwegians this is a volunteer board that runs our apartment block on behalf of the residents. How she ended up in this position is a bit messy but let's keep it simple and say that she hates it and intends to leave as soon as she possibly can. #Signal
Okay, I'm asking the Mastodon Hivemind something. It concerns GNU/Linux (specifically Debian), Signal Messenger, and Proton VPN.
Edit: Somehow fixed by changing the VPN server _on the router_ (which passes through the desktop untouched...supposedly). I don't get it.

Battery drain on GrapheneOS here the last couple of days has definitely been worse than stock Google Android.
Battery-monitor says Molly is the main culprit.
Apparently Molly, the Signal client, keeps an open connection to the Signal server.
You can't just have the app check every 10 minutes if it has to ring like a phone upon call request. You need actually persistent connection.
On Google's android, google's play-servers do some kind of kung-fu to keep that modem mostly asleep despite this persistence.
Without Play Services, that don't happen.
But, there is a thing in F-Droid called "Sun up".
That does a similar thing I guess? Called "unified push". It uses Mozilla's servers instead of Google's. And does so anonymously apparently, but who knows for sure really? Not me.
End to end encryption means worst you'd be leaking is timing data really.
So install Sun Up from F-Droid and change Molly's settings / notifications / delivery-method to "Unified Push"
We will need a MollyServer too apparently as a bridge from Signal to Unified-Push at Mozilla.
All the cool kids are using molly.adminforge.de - there's the QR code you need at the site there. Maybe molly.notify.dykes.ca or some other one is better? I dunno. Can always use a different one if yours goes away.
We will find out over the next few days if that actually makes any difference to battery consumption.
Might save more if you have lots of other things also using open connections that can use unifed-push too. Emails and Matrix or whatever. Mux all those connections into one.
I don't do those things on my phone though, so it's just Molly, so we'll see.

Kennt ihr das auch bei #Signal, dass viele sich nur mit Vornamen oder Phantasienamen eintragen?
Das sorgt dafür, dass man aus Versehen den falschen anschreibt oder oft gar nicht weiß, wer sich in Gruppen hinter den Namen verbirgt.
Ein kleiner Tipp:
Ihr könnt für jeden Kontakt Euren eigenen Namen eintragen, der Euch dann angezeigt wird. Das Feature nennt sich Spitzname. Ich schrei…
