Exactly two days after the much loved Telegram Android Redesign concept was posted on this channel, Telegram launched their Android Redesign Contest. It must be a coincidence though, right....?

Nope. Exactly 8 days after the Telegram AI Concept was posted on this channel, Telegram launches another Design competition that requires designers to make concept videos in the same style of Telegram blog posts - which is.... oh wait... exactly what the Telegram AI Concept did.....

And looks like it's back up at this moment since the previous post went through!

Things are being restored slowly across Telegram and these changes might take sometime to reflect. Please remain patient. Channels on DC 5 should be working as of now.

Personal accounts should be able to receive messages (or notifications thereof) but may face trouble accessing messages or performing other actions.

Hang tight while the server gods fix it!

Issue timeline:
- The issue began at 16:20 UTC.
- Telegram acknowledged the issue at 16:21 UTC.
- As of 17:10 UTC, the issue slowly reduced with a few users being able to receive notifications from channels and (maybe chats). Channels based on DC 5 are able to send and edit messages, but the ping is too high.
- As of 17:35, users on DC 5 should be back up.

And the issue is now resolved. Total downtime was 1 hour 15 minutes. Telegram has fixed the issue and restarted the DC 5 cluster. The issue what caused this is still unknown.

这次又不知道 Telegram 是因为什么原因才炸了。
api 侧观测到 23:59 分还好好的，00:00 就不行了，UCT+8。
炸了的 DC5 在新加坡，也是 UCT+8
不会是版本升级搞炸了吧

继在印度新设 DC5 的 CDN 节点(AS44907、上游为 TATA 与 Bharti Airtel)以后，Telegram 疑似在芬兰赫尔辛基新增 CDN 节点（AS211157，上游为 RETN）。

«Free»

That’s “old” (it’s called free since the day they improved stickers’ previews)

They use the word free because there exist packs which are "Premium" (like emoji packs)

而且咱就是说杜叔叔开的玩笑话也能在不加任何额外说明的情况下发成新闻，Telegram 怎么可能是国内 Android 下载量最高的应用程序 😅

Pavel Durov shared concerns about Signal, suggesting its leaders are connected to US government and their encryption might not be as secure as claimed. He highlights that Signal's encryption, funded by the US government, is used by major tech platforms, implying government influence. Durov criticizes Signal's lack of transparency, contrasting it with Telegram's open-source approach, which allows verification of its code. He claims Telegram is the only popular messaging service offering truly private communication through its Secret Chats feature.

And the President of Signal, Meredith Whittaker debukes the claims shared by Jack Dorsey as hoax due to lack of sufficient proof. She also blames Apple for not allowing reproducible builds. No, Apple natively doesn't allow reproducible builds, you need a jailbroken device. Which is why, Signal has not made reproducible builds for iOS.

在 Telegram 中，如果不在“Privacy and Security”设置中打开“Disable filtering”选项，R-18 等敏感内容的频道或群组是进不去的。而这个选项由于合规要求，在商店版的 App 中不会显示，只有官网版本才会显示。
但是之前有人使用官网版本（TDesktop、macOS、Web 网页版）也找不到这个选项，一直觉得奇怪。今天一个群友试了一个下午终于找到答案：他的 Profile 中设置的生日是 2023 年，只要设置到 18 年前的日期，这个选项就会显示了。
如果有同样困扰的朋友，除了检查 Telegram 是不是从官网下的（而不是应用商店）之外，也要注意一下自己有没有“满 18 岁”。另外由于一些国家或地区的限制，当地电话注册的账号可能也不能看到这个选项。
