From my perspective the system is secure

The moment I got the link from Delta I started reading. From what I have read in the documentation the System is Secure. The documentation is vast thorough technical and in depth.

I am using the system already with a few of my friends so it is within my usage Arsenal already.

There is a possibility that Irishmasms did not read the docs and did not check how the program actually works.

Thank you for reminding me on reacting after reading the docs

@delta @Irishmasms

Thank you for the clarification of the verification process and the link to the documentation explaining the process.

In the Everlasting search for clients and servers Federated, detached from corporate underlords, connected to the masses I learned about the following client server duo

Client: Delta Chat
Servers: Chat Mail servers

One thing that jumps immediately into attention, is the fact that when you download the client, select a server, you get a QR code

When you've configured your client, you will immediately notice that you do not need to enter a password for your client. The system is passwordless by default.

You do not need to enter a multi-factor authentication code it doesn't need it.

What you need to do is be careful with, is who you share your link with. Go and play with it, see if it something for you

KDE keyboard shortcut note:

Goto

Check out the actions which can be bound to keyboard shortcuts.

The KDE team has created a wonderful Network for your Androids it's called Konnect (actually KDE Connect) and the things that it can do are so various that I'll just show you one of them in the included photographs

The ease with which I can control a music 🎵 player that works on one Android from all my devices which run Konnect opens up possibilities which are just marvelous for a sound engineer like me

At this moment I'm roughly tuning a very nice FluxBox Desktop in an OpenSource POSIX driven OS.
I'm working on tuning my Desktops Environments in such a way that it doesn't matter whether I run them in Linux or *BSD

That way I'll just fire up the Operating System inject my own configuration for the desktop environment fire up X.org and then start working

FluxBox has been a favorite window / desktop manager of mine a couple of decades ago.

Since it has been written efficient it's blazingly fast
I combine tools that I love from Xfce with FluxBox so that my muscle memory for shortcuts can be used in a super smooth manner

#FluxBox #Xorg #Desktop #Environment #OpenSource #POSIX #GNU #is #not #UNIX #Linux

Since this command...

`xfce4-screenshooter -S -d 2 --window -s "$HOME/Pictures/$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S)_Screenshot2.png"`

...segfaults in fluxbox atm I did not bother with a screenshot, because xfce4-screenshooter rocks way too much to use another one

I've been able to configure KDE to my liking so that I feel at home again in the K Desktop Environment.

This is critical because it means that everything from way back in the beginning, decades ago when KDE was released, is still in the current new and fresh version of the K Desktop Environment

It means that the teams which have worked on KDE for the past decades have kept the core of KDE alive

It means that we have an excellent group of programmers, before and current, who have worked on KDE and who have kept KDE beautiful fantastic and magnifique for a wide range of people all over the globe

I've easily & smoothly configured KDE Konnect to work in Fluxbox WM

Do you make backups? Do you run ZFS? Do you use Bacula? Do you use dd?

Your method is important for you. What's also important is testing how a restore works.

I lost a partition less than 30 minutes ago. I have a simple tgz backup of the important data on another drive, not an SSD, no a HDD.

I lost zero bytes of data.

Please make sure your backup and restore systems work.

When your recovery tool says the partition is lost, only your backup will save you.

Mine did

Do not fall for the trap of the ClosedSource operating system underlords. Your computing hardware is perfectly capable of Running a proper operating system maintained currently and run on full open source components

Just go to the following Place read learn and adapt

Stop using closed Source operating systems and software; dechain yourself become unslaved

When you program in C++ use GCC when you write text use markdown. Go full platform independent and full OpenSource and remain dechained

Don't tell me you still don't have a boxyBSD VM. Request one while they last

Are you just like me? Do you want to make fantastically beautiful posts and not be limited by a silly 500 character fence, but want to BANG intricate stories of 10.000 characters?

Don't be limited by those silly 500 character servers!

Browse over here, find an instance that's suitable to you and go there. The list doesn't have everyone who has that massive 5,000 character size, but the list has a lot of servers, so pick one choose one and go be the literary giant that you are

And yes there are servers which have a fantastically glorious 10,000 character limit!

This is Fedimeteo first incarnation. The programmer is from Europe so he spawned then expanded it, from his area on Terra

The API that's used by FediMeteo is not difficult to learn you should try it out yourself.
