We're absolutely thrilled to announce a new era of high-speed syncing for the open source ecosystem!

DAVx⁵ 4.5 will ship with full Push support (instant sync) for your Contacts, Events & Tasks!

We've worked on this for almost 3yrs from the first line of writing a draft for a (hopefully new) standard, to the work on a @nextcloud extension until the final DAVx5 implementation.

PSA: If you read advertisements on your podcast or YouTube video, you are not a journalist, you are a salesperson.

And no, your audience isn’t smart enough to distinguish between content and advertisements. If that were true you wouldn’t be paid significantly more for native ads.

The Future of Stalwart: Webmail, Roadmap, and Beyond | Stalwart Labs

Since we officially started developing Stalwart on September 4th, 2021, we've come a long way in establishing a powerful and versatile open-source mail and collaboration server. The very first commit, made on October 3rd, 2021, was to the mail-parser Rust crate, a fundamental component upon which Stalwart was built. It set the tone for our relentless pursuit of secure, reliable, and performant software.

Signal famously doesn't allow third party clients. Molly currently flies under the radar but their official stance is: fuck off.
If #Conversations_im were to introduce ads tomorrow you just switch to a fork and move on with your life. With Signal you do what exactly?
With Elon threatening to decommission Dragon and Trump threatening to cut subsidies to SpaceX, maybe Boeing can step in and build a capsule that flies astronauts to the ISS.

Privacy vs Security: Yandex is spying on their users in an insecure way, Meta (Facebook, Insta) in a more secure way. Both of them are a threat against user privacy

This is yet another example showing that there are reasons to be more suspicious against proprietary apps. We should avoid installing GAFAM apps, and reducing as much as possible our dependency on their services is healthy

I'm on my way back from the Berlin XMPP Sprint and had a fantastic time. Thank you so much @debacle for organizing it, and thank you to everyone who participated. It was especially cool to see some new faces; it's pretty amazing that the #XMPP developer community is still able to attract new talent.

I made good progress on finally being able to show full-size avatars (profile pictures) in #Conversations_im. Stay tuned to learn more about that towards the end of this week.

I want to get back to writing more long-form content. In the age of ChatGPT, that seems like a valuable skill to maintain.

However, my old website used handcrafted HTML and simply wasn’t up to the task, so I made a new one. Check it out: https://gultsch.de

I’ve been a freelance software developer for over 15 years. My main interests lie in open standards and communication protocols, including instant messaging, email, and the fediverse. I’m the project lead for Conversations and Ltt.rs. Occasionally, I also dabble in security research. Most of my open source projects are hosted on Codeberg. I’m an active member of the XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF), serving as the chair of the council and as a member of the editor team.

To be clear the amount doesn't matter. Transferring any money to the Russian state is terrorism financing and illegal in Germany.

I guess it’s a good thing that the genocide in Ukraine has devalued your currency so much that 800,000 rubles isn’t actually that much money.

> By the ruling of the magistrate of judicial district No. 422 of the Tagansky district of Moscow, companies Threema GmbH and Pagebites Inc have been fined 1 million rubles each, and Gultsch & Weiss GbR has been fined 800 thousand rubles.
