Ah, thanks for the correct term. I am not sure the specification is open enough for other operating systems to support it, which is what I meant. Among my acquaintances, I can count Apple users on a single hand (<1% of the people I know)

As a sibling commenter said, those proprietary apps have a server part that sends notifications to Google's server. If UnifiedPush were to gain enough traction (say it would be adopted on FireOS, HuaweiOS and whatever platform don&#x27

I agree, though it of course it depends on the threat model. As a self hoster, encryption is pretty much irrelevant, as my push server is controlled by myself, and accessible with https. Not having encryption makes it easy to debug and expe

In addition to what the others wrote (a local Matrix server and UnifiedPush provider such as ntfy would work fine), I suggest you look into p2p messaging systems such as Briar. I think Tox is also p2p? Lastly, Secure Scuttlebutt was actuall

I played around with the `dillo` web browser a couple years ago. It doesn't support javascript, but it was oh so amazing to experience it as you describe.

It seems like you have misunderstood something. I just read the specification you linked. If I understand it right, it just specifies what we call a "Push gateway" in our last diagram in the "under the hood" section. As

I haven't seen any complaints, but folks who set this up are usually used to having persistent notifications (I currently have 6) without Google services. At least I replaced the one from my Matrix client with the UnifiedPush-enabled n

Everyone wants to be Google, and I bet most managers see lock-in to their platform as a good thing, and ease of porting to competitors a bad thing. At least, if they feel big enough to gain initial traction... Huawei is pushing their own th

> It looks like the submission side of UnifiedPush could indeed have been Web Push-compatible but isn’t, though. Exactly. It was discussed a bit early on whether to mandate encryption, but simplicity was chosen instead. Adjusting the s

It would also be nice to extend IMAP to support UnifiedPush... The use-case would be new mail notifications; it wouldn't be too hard to do, and would be quite useful, as I typically have multiple e-mail accounts. You could however buil

That use-case sounds a bit similar to Webmentions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webmention See also... The See also section in that article :) You say it would be server to server, but are both publicly reachable?

Yes, they need to have a UnifiedPush distributor on their device, that acts like Google services. OS makers could install a default UnifiedPush distributor though. Lastly, the Embedded FCM UnifiedPush library (to be embeded into a client ap

Looks like IPv6 is broken :/ The AAAA record was temporarily removed to try to mitigate.

You can do that, but if keep alive are not synchronized (I don't think there is a mechanism to do so), you will wake more often if you keep more connections open. I think the OS could synchronize them if keep alive packets are sent at

Regarding Signal, I don't think they have been approached yet... https://github.com/UnifiedPush/wishlist/issues/8 I think the consensus was that we wanted to wait for UnifiedPush to be more mature before

Wow, that was submitted here quicker than we could do it! UnifiedPush has been a thing for a while, see the official website: https://unifiedpush.org/ With this blog post, we† tried to clarify a few names. Feel free to poin

You need a charging controller that can disconnect the battery. IIRC my Xperia T3 was capable of that. On Android, Advanced Charging Controller App (AccA) can tell you that, and help define profiles to avoid that spicy pillow issue. Some

wouldn't most old smartphones fit the bill? With either stock Android or postmarketos.

Yes, I'd say it's switching losses driving power dissipation, mostly, but also the amplification factor (often written as 60mV/decade). Bipolar transistors are still better at that. I haven't read the article yet, but I

Well, this is also a fallacy of yours (strawman?), I was countering the argument of: > Also, to my understanding, Wayland is still not ready for such a use case. With an example showing how to do it. To answer your point, this wouldn&#x2

Which is exactly what Wi-Fi does, adjusting the amount of parity data depending on link loss, to keep retransmissions to a minimal.

Well, I'm guilty of it myself, but I try to pay attention. It's a trap that can be avoided to some extent if both the audience/interviewer and interviewee are aware of it.

Indeed, and I am not sure if there was a consensus on that topic back then. However, it is remarkable that some predicted it, as not everyone was paying attention. One issue with "scientists" (and engineers, as well as other human

Thinking about it, wouldn't mono support this fairly well? I don't have much experience with mono nor C#, but going from a sibling comment and my package manager, I would be tempted to install mono-msbuild-sdkresolver and run `mon
