I've published a temporary fork of Delta Chat for Android with UnifiedPush support: codeberg.org/s1m/delta-chaton It will be automatically updated, as there should not be much conflicts between releases. I expect to discontinue this fork once (if) the support is merged #DeltaChat […]

Even "private" apps like Signal use Apple and Google servers (APNs/FCM) to trigger alerts, leaking vital device metadata. The speaker warns about tracking risks, government surveillance, and outages, while offering a self-hosted solution: UnifiedPush and tools like ntfy. Watch it here […]

As I use #Conversations #XMPP client to chat with my family I configured it to be also an #UnifiedPush distributor. This reuses the already existing XMPP connection to also serve other android apps for push messages. On server side I used #ejabberd community module `mod_unified_push`. It works […]

If you need to troubleshoot your UnifiedPush setup on Linux, there is now a small app for this on Flathub. You can check whether your push service is correctly visible, whether you can interact with it correctly, and whether it is receiving push notifications.
