Some people in #Iran successfully use delta with national email providers when outside Internet is cut.

#deltachat designs are #OfflineFirst using delay tolerant protocols. Messages are queued when a path is blocked. email servers are made for this and run at planetary scale.
Messages crossing the border may arrive three days later but they arrive.

Peoples can stay in private touch across time and space, to the extent possible in current breakdown times. Which is what delta is about.

You may setup "burner" phones for specific activities which may face repression including device seizure and forced unlocking. #deltachat does not require a sim card/number and works #OfflineFirst. Seek out wifi or mobile hotspots to connect. At best form or join affinity groups and pre-establish ephemeral chats so everyone can help each other stay safe. Group onboarding is trivial with delta. Note: Digital tools are only ever supplementary to the security coming from caring for each other.

The last two days saw the number of push notifications spike. Sometimes 80K Google Play push notifications happened per hour, while the baseline was more around 10-20K. These spikes probably indicate Internet availability. #deltachat is offline-first: you can write messages and attach media, create groups, use #webxdc apps, setup a second device etc. all without any Internet. Once it returns queued messages are sent out and cause push notifications. #OfflineFirst is crucial for resiliency.

a graph showing "Direct push notifications for the last hour"

On the X axis it starts around May 24th 7:30pm and goes until May 26th 7:30pm. 
On the X axis it goes from 0 to 80K notifications for the last hour. 

There are two plot lines:

- Apple push notifications which are in the range of 7K and 15K notifications in every hour. 
- Google Play notifications which is between 10k and 80k notifications per hour. There are around 5 spikes that go up to 70k or above 80k notifications in every hour.

Yesterday, 20 people from the safesisters.org community onboarded with #DeltaChat in Lusaka, Zambia. Everything worked! Usability, privacy and #OfflineFirst ops were appreciated and #webxdc app based organizing met strong interest. Many participants engage in addressing challenges from surveillance state actors, family and partner abuse. Moreover, people with visual impairment were happy about Android's screen reader support.

It's events like this that validate our efforts!

@kuketzblog seit diesem Jahr ist bei mir wieder local first was wichtige Daten angeht. Zero trust was US Anbieter angeht mittlerweile, wenn jemand den "Stecker" zieht ists aus und man möchte sich doch nicht erpressbar machen.

Für Cloud Daten bin ich nun zu @filen gewechselt was so gut wie jeden Use Case bei mir abdeckt. Langfristig aber nur für Daten deren Verlust verschmerzbar ist.

Depois de ler um texto do @ploum falando sobre a construção de um computador que dure 50 anos ― onde também se fala do princípio de #offlinefirst / #localfirst ―, tive ganas de criar um repertório de documentos para deixar no disco rígido para consulta rápida e sem internet.

Já baixei alguns mapas (América do Sul, Brasil, Ceará etc.) e alguns dicionários. Tentei baixar o mapa de infraestrutura da minha cidade pelo #OpenStreetMaps, mas não consegui direitinho. Penso em baixar o repositório da Wikipédia.
