Well, that was a 2 hour meeting that basically boiled down to "user stories in jira good, tasks in jira bad"



AI apparently DOES have some valid use cases after all.šŸ˜†

I mean, exactly this was the plot of many SF stories about AI.

Industries that grew over decades will take decades to rebuild, if ever, even when they were destroyed overnight.

@delta I just saw that you can now add several relay servers to one account, that's neat! But I remember that accounts get automatically deleted if you don't talk to them for some time, how is that solved for secondary backup relays I might add and never use?
in reply to leberschnitzel

IMAP connections to secondary relays are maintained to receive messages that might arrive there from contacts that don't know yet you have switched to another relay.
in reply to Delta Chat (39c3)

ok, nice! So if my main server explodes before I switched, I would have to send all of my contacts a message from the other server to make sure they can contact me?

And secondary question: When will the Flatpack Desktop Version be updated with this feature?

in reply to leberschnitzel

at best follow the support forum where the last 2.33+ release issues are discussed and resolved and announcements happen. Still some road blocks on some of the ~15 store targets, but that's normal. There is always one or another release target making new problems, compliance, build problems or some crash on particular devices. We are trying our best to push it all out :)
in reply to leberschnitzel

and yes, if you add a relay, message your chats (at best group chats) all recipient devices will recognize and use your new address automatically.
in reply to Delta Chat (39c3)

@Delta Chat Is it okay to add more relays and keep using the original one as the primary?
Once the primary goes down or has a temporary hiccups, can I continue the conversation and replies will be addressed to the backup relay?
I am trying to figure out if adding another relay to my account profile is enough or if I should do something else to make my chats more proof to single relay failures.

in reply to Peter VƔgner

@pvagner You don't need to keep relays in reserve. It doesn't help right now with the 2.33 releases.

If your current relay goes down, just add a new relay and message your chats. Everybody will use your new relay then.

Early 2026 we work towards another bigger multi-relay release , and then it will make sense to add relays preliminarily, so you won't have to worry about any server breakdown or shutdown, and chatting will just always succeed.

in reply to Delta Chat (39c3)

@pvagner IMHO it helps by not having to look them up on a central space that might also be gone






If one was to try and describe Mastodon as a genre of music would it be Indie?... or perhaps punk!!... or maybe more like the complex, chaotic, chemistry of a good Jazz session??
in reply to Level 98 šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦

I think it really depends on who you're following. For me it's definitely some variety of punk. Solarpunk isn't a music genre, but I think it encapsulates the majority of my fedi experience.

#WritersCoffeeClub 12/13. What have you written for another writer?

Not sure I understand the question. What work is "for" doing here?

Anyway.

I've written for an anthology. I've co-written a short story with another writer. I wrote a book about writing newsletters aimed at writers. And responding to daily prompts, I guess.

But ... eh?
