Having lots of fun using Delta Chat. I've set up two accounts on my mail server, one for myself and one for my husband. We're both surprised at how fast it is compared to more traditional centralised chat apps like Signal. It's so cool to be able to self-host this and not rely on centralised infrastructure that is outside of my control.

Now I just need to convince everyone I know it's really cool :)

great and welcome :) did you try out the v86 app in a chat yet? It allows to run 32bit iso images, and if you configure eth0 on multiple devices the chat members will have an end-to-end encrypted private lan (using #webxdc realtime channels). Telnet/netcat/ping etc works. This virtual Ethernet even degrades in performance if too many devices do traffic :) tip: try it better on a desktop not mobile (although should also work)

Do you have an article about this on your site somewhere? I'm not quite sure I grok what you mean.

no bigger write up, but if you have a desktop:

Go to message input, attach-app and select "v86 emu" app and start it.

Inside v86 app "Choose file", select an iso (download for example https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.21/releases/x86/alpine-standard-3.21.3-x86.iso) and hit "Start" button. Login as "Root", no password.
v86 emu running alpine-linux 32 bit with typical boot-messages ending in: localhost login: root Welcome to Alpine! ... localhost # ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 localhost #
message bubble with webxdc app "v86Emu" and a big blue "START" button.
app-selector in Delta Chat with "v86emu" highlighted. also an input field is visible where the "attach" icon is next to it.

Weirdly enough that seems to be missing from the .deb version or I'm just ignorant. XD It's fine. It's enough to know it exists for some. :)
Delta Chat
do you have a recent version like https://download.delta.chat/desktop/v1.54.2/deltachat-desktop_1.54.2_amd64.deb ?

That one broke on Debian 12.9 (Bookworm). I can't quite figure out why.

Won't use github since it's owned by M$ and the other support page claims @palemoon is not supported.

Are there any accounts to test DeltaChat?
Delta Chat
every App allows to create anonymous chat profiles on #chatmail servers. Just hit "create profile"
