I mainly want personal family photos away from long corporate data retention (and possible leaks) and away from AI scrapers.
Delta Chat covers this.
I'll check out Signal again though, thanks for the recommendation.
For a good time, call 1194.
This graffiti was seen, around 1993, in various toilets, referencing the national talking-clock service.
1194 == "On the third tone it will be 3:45 and 30 seconds, beep beep beeep."
A simple network share.
Does your router have a USB port?
Plug in a thumb drive (32-64gb is fine) and configure it in your router's admin interface to share on the network. (FTP and SMB shares)
An easy way to have all devices in a house able to access a shared directory. (Pictures, movies, music, files)
I haven't used Signal.
Is your 'registered Signal number' your phone handset number?

[You are right, Delta Chat uses AutoCrypt, which is OpenPGP based.]
Trisquel GNU/Linux, is Ubuntu with all the non-free packages removed. Don't see any of that stuff.
No spam, because it is a family group for sharing non-public pictures etc.
You'd only get spam if you invited a spammer to chat.
The privacy comes from the E2EE.
DeltaChat.
It packetises and encrypts chats, using email(SMTP) as the transport medium. Sends downsampled pics, videos or push-to-talk audio by default. Can send full quality pics, videos, or attachments too, as a file.
Integrates with Jitsi Meet to connect video-calls.
It's available on F-Droid, and you can use a seperate free-email-address(100MB limit) for the SMTP backend (from https://nine.testrun.org/ ), or use your own existing email address.
Elegant and robust.
