#UnifiedPush

1 post1 participant0 posts today
My second #OpenBSD #port that got merged into the #ports tree: MollySocket [1]
Mollysocket is for every #Signal user that wants to ditch Google-dependent notifications.
Together with #Molly [2] you can be sure that notifications will only be routed over systems that you choose, using #UnifiedPush.

This OpenBSD port in particular comes with a useful README that should help you to get started quickly. Let's hope that it makes it into 7.7-release :)

Wieso sagt mir niemand, dass * auf up* Topics haben will auf der privat installierten Instanz, die ich so verrammelt habe, dass nix durchging, was kein Auth mitschickt? (Wenn man darüber nachdenkt, ist es wohl mehr als logisch)

Manchmal. Wald, Bäume...

Also, wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe, funktioniert #UnifiedPush mit #Molly und #Nextpush nur, wenn du einen Molly-Socket irgendwo laufen hast: github.com/mollyim/mollysocket
Das heißt vermutlich wird Molly bei dir aktuell immernoch über den Websocket die Benachrichtigungen empfangen.
Ich habe ein #degoogled Android mit #grapheneos und ohne Play Services. Darauf konnte ich mit UP und Mollysocket (Airgapped) den Akkuverbrauch von Molly auf einen Bruchteil (< 1%) verringern.

Habe vorgestern mal mit via auf meinem Smartphone eingerichtet .. funzt auch .. die Akkulaufzeit scheint subjektiv verkürzt im Gegensatz zum original Signal was ich vorher nutzte .. irgenwie war damit zu rechnen, immerhin ist 'ne zusätzlich App im Spiel .. aber wie sind so Ehre Erfahrungswerte? .. kann man das irgendwie optimieren? 🤔

@chewie By using Signal-FOSS or Molly-FOSS you just force the Signal app to use its WebSockets-based notification fallback mechanism. But if you have Play services installed and have granted them network permissions, you might as well just use FCM for notifications. It saves battery life compared to each app maintaining its own background network connection.

If you're using @mollyim you also have a third option for receiving notifications: @unifiedpush

But since Signal doesn't support it natively, you need a mollysocket server that receives the Signal notifications and translates them into UnifiedPush format. The mollysocket server is connected to your Signal account as a linked device, but it does not have your decryption keys. There are public instances of mollysocket like mollysocket.adminforge.de

The easiest and best way to get started with UnifiedPush (IMO) is the recently released Sunup distributor app.

Notification of calls on Android phones using , seem to have been completely broken for many (all?) people since the move from version 1.5.28 to 1.5.30.

A bug was filed over a year ago. A number of people there say they can't get calls at all and even offer money for bugfix dev work, but so far no one from the team has even commented on it.

github.com/element-hq/element-

What info would help or can you recommend a dev to pay to work on this?
