No, the "distributor" is the part which runs on your portable device, receives the push notifications, and wakes up the target apps as necessary.

Conversations can be a unified push distibutor: https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/conversations/

..and I'd trust it (battery-wise) with that. I have an old tablet with conversations running without battery restrictions on it, and if I'm not actually picking it up and using it it regularly goes 1-2 weeks on an 80% battery charge before it dies, the whole time giving audible notifications for XMPP messages/calls (which I attend to on other devices).

Apart from the pleasant one on the left, they're all the worst. The 4th from the right is almost good, but then you notice the creepy-as-fuck centre tine-gap length.

They're a little pricey I suppose, but judging by a few minutes comparing gumtree listings for hatchback cars and cargo bikes:

< 20% the cost of a hatchback in analogous condition/age/fanciness.

2 black pieces can move per turn?

To be clear though: by E2EE here I mean browser-side encryption with zero-knowledge on the server side.

Etherpad is still encrypted in transit with https; only the server can snoop.

Cryptpad and other web-based E2EE services can still be completely compromised server-side by serving malicious code to the browser, and practically the user would never know.

Cryptpad:

  • Full-on google docs / office365 / libreoffice type replacement with collaboration.
  • E2EE
  • The complexity means it doesn't work well on mobile, takes a while to load on a slow connection, more frequent bugs. (3.5 MiB page transfer)
  • Self-hosting is complicated.

Etherpad:

  • A competent collaborative rich-text editor. Doesn't do spreadsheets or presentations or [...].
  • Not E2EE (you need to trust that the server a bit more).
  • Lightweight, works on slower connections, works alright on mobile. (1.7 MiB page transfer)
  • Self-hosting quite simple.

PrivateBin:

  • Super-simple plain-text/markdown pastebin. No editing possible once saved.
  • E2EE
  • Very small. Works fine on slow connections and mobile. (0.2 MiB page transfer)
  • Self-hosting very simple.

I suppose it's likely.

Until then, keep riding. Cycling releases an order of magnitude less rubber dust than driving, and is distributed approximately according to population density on local roads/paths, not concentrated on traffic sewers/freeways.

Sorry everyone, I did try searching the lemmyverse for any previous postings of this article using "signal" in the search feature on my instance, but it turned up nothing at the time.

Lemmy.world seems to have a handle on all the cross posts: https://lemmy.world/post/9121235

Use a good XMPP client like dino/siskin/conversations and OMEMO just works. XMPP client OMEMO support status.

You can't argue "not all XMPP clients support e2ee" without arguing the same for matrix -- not all matrix clients support e2ee.
