mailrise VS sydent

Edit: Using AWS SES for now (PITA to setup though) and will setup https://github.com/YoRyan/mailrise as suggested below once I get my full systems back up. After the suggestions and testing, the hardest hurdle was having a VoIP number rather than regular Cell and using without a custom domain (and even different providers handle this differently). Using an email service seems to be one of the easiest methods to use, just have to make sure they allow SMTP access on the free tier. Hopefully the comments on this thread will help other in the future or give them alternative ideas. Thanks all!

I use mailrise which hosts a private SMTP gateway for Apprise notifications.

https://github.com/YoRyan/mailrise might be a decent option.

This project is similar to and inspired by Mailrise. I wanted a little more configuration than was supported by Mailrise, so decided to create my own option.

FYI, a similar system can be achieved with https://github.com/YoRyan/mailrise + https://github.com/caronc/apprise, but requires more setup

I ended up having to build mailrise from source so I could change it to use the nightly build of apprise instead of version 1.1 (which still had the bug). I actually just went back and tested that apprise 1.2 seems to be splitting both markdown and text messages properly for discord. I'll have to build an updated mailrise docker image and try again there. I'll file an issue if I run into problems.

GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects.

Tangential: the article notes that Telegram is an “encrypted messaging app”. While this is technically true, it's worth keeping in mind that it's not end-to-end encrypted, so it's less secure in that regard than, say, Signal or even WhatsApp. Telegram does have opt-in end-to-end encrypted one-on-one chats, but those are very inconvenient to use.

For a properly encrypted chat app, including group chats (opt-in), try Matrix instead: https://matrix.org/

I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance.

[0] https://matrix.org

Trillian mod here. There's this new thing called Beeper, works on matrix.org. It's not as the good old times, but I'm currently using whatsapp, FB messenger, discord, telegram, signal, imessage and a few more. It's not Cerulean experience, but it's... slowly improving.

I'm trying to change my account provider from "matrix.org" to whatever Element One needs, and for the life of me I just don't understand what values I have to put where to be able to log in. I tried `element.io`, which takes me to sso.element.io but this doesn't seem like the right thing (no credentials work as I expect.
