TelegramMediaRelayBot: automate content sharing - even if recipients aren't on the platform!

Problem :
You found cool content, but:
- friends are not registered on the platform (like TikTok or Reddit)
- are too lazy to click on links and look at
- don't want to bother with saving files or registering on a new platform

Having to download, forward the same thing manually to everyone and clean up your device's memory. Does this sound like a familiar hell? This is exactly the reason I created a bot.

What kind of beast is it?
TelegramMediaRelayBot is a bot that downloads content from any sources supported by yt-dlp and gallery-dl (TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, etc.) and automatically forwards it to the right people.

Its trick: It turns your “save → forward → delete” into a single action: throw a link → bot did it all.

Why is this a breakthrough?
For anyone and everyone:
It doesn't matter if you share with friends, colleagues or subscribers - the bot works even if they don't have accounts on the original platform. The bot works even without contacts (just downloads files to you in chat).

Self-host:
Full control over your data? Deploy your own version (documentation: https://zenonel.github.io/TelegramMediaRelayBot-Site/).

No analogs:
I searched for similar solutions - and couldn't find anything. This is the first bot that combines downloading, forwarding and contact management in one place.

What does the bot know how to do?
Now:
- Downloads content via yt-dlp and gallery-dl (galleries, playlists, videos)
- Contact book - add people and send them files in one click
- Automation: Customize how the bot handles links (ex: “If I haven't changed my mind in 5 seconds - download and share content according to my rules")
- Group work - supports Telegram group chats. Send a link - the bot will download content and send it to the group
- Proxies and other smaller functions

Expect v3.0 to be released:
- Only a couple of features left to do for it

Future versions:
- Various improvements and innovations - advanced privacy settings, updated documentation and more

How it works.
1. you: Send the bot a link (+ description with a new line if necessary)
2. bot: Downloads the content → Sends it to your contacts based on your settings
3. you: Enjoy life and the new automation in it

Why you'll love it.
- Free and Open Source: The project is created for personal use, not for profit. No hidden code or subscriptions
- Flexible: Even without contacts - use it as your personal cloud in Telegram. Add hashtags to your files (#memes, #gifs) to easily find them
- Simplicity: You don't need any supernatural effort to get started. Just take a little time to customize and you're good to go. Don't forget to invite the people you want to see in the bot!

What's up with the monetization?
- Plans: In the future it will be possible to support the project through donations to the card or Boosty
- Optional: With the plugin system it will be possible to buy ready-made modules (referrals, custom limits, etc) to monetize your copy of the bot. The basic version will remain free

Try it now:
Project page: https://github.com/ZenonEl/TelegramMediaRelayBot or https://github.com/ZenonEl/TelegramMediaRelayBot/tree/v0.3.0-dev
Documentation: https://zenonel.github.io/TelegramMediaRelayBot-Site/

Feedback & Suggestions
Your input is incredibly valuable to me! Help make this bot perfect not just for me, but by building a community that will love and nurture it together:

- What to add? What features would you love to see?
- What to fix? Found a bug or something awkward? Let me know!
- What to improve? Any idea — from design to functionality.

Reach out via GitHub Issues or on Mastodon (@ZenonEl). Your suggestions might shape the next update and accelerate the project's growth!

Bonus: Find a similar bot? Get a virtual fortune cookie from me! And if the bot saves you 10 minutes daily — you'll make me one happy

P.S. Even a quick "I wish there was a button for..." or "Could we do this?" is a fantastic start. Thanks for taking time to read this, and extra thanks if you choose to stay with me and the project!

Wouldn't it be nice if you could have a real telephone, that wasn't wiretapped by default?

Encrypted, decentralized and truly peer-to-peer voice calls and telephony over Reticulum is now a reality with the newly released LXST framework. Because it uses Reticulum for data transport, LXST voice calls require no intermediary servers or accounts anywhere. Anyone with an LXST-enabled device or software client can call anyone else - as long as there is a network connection between the devices.

Using the efficient hybrid mesh routing of Reticulum, this also means that your calls aren't routed anywhere they shouldn't be. If you call an endpoint in the same building, the telephones connect directly, and not over somebody elses VoIP server in another country.

These two prototypes are fully functional telephones, that can dial to and receive calls from any other LXST endpoint. It takes about 20 minutes to assemble one, and it's built from completely standard and readily available components, obtainable from common electronics vendors.

Initial client support is already implement in the Sideband application for desktop, the command line application rnphone, and of course the physical telephone implementation.

Like other Reticulum-based protocols, authentication and encryption is handled by the self-sovereign identity layer in Reticulum. This means that you truly own your addresses, and that you can move around to anywhere in the network (or another network altogether) and still be reachable for anyone else. If you have an LXST "number", nobody can take it away from you, and there is no phone service provider to pay for the privilege of keeping it.

The system provides high-quality, real-time full-duplex voice calls between endpoints, and uses only open source software components. This includes the voice codecs, which can real-time switch between OPUS (for high quality) and Codec2 (for ultra low bandwidth) without any frame loss.

But LXST was not only designed for telephony and voice calls. In fact, it is a general purpose secure signal transport framework, that allows sending any type of analogue or digital signal over Reticulum networks, either efficiently encoded or completely uncompressed. The protocol currently supports transporting up to 32 simultaneous signal carriers with up to 128-bit floating point precision in a single stream.

It also supports transmitting digital signalling and control data in-band with the carried signal frames. This allows creating almost any kind of real-time application.

At this early stage of development, the framework includes ready-to-use primitives for telephony, signal input, output and mixing, and network transport. Future development will focus on even more primitives such as:

- Real-time distributed radio communications
- Decentralized 2-way radio systems, similar to (but more flexible than) trunked systems such as DMR and P.25
- Media broadcasting for information content such as podcasts and digital broadcast radio that anyone can set up and use
- And many more useful and interesting applications

If you want to dive deeper into this, there is more information available on the LXST source repository and in discussion threads. It's still very early days for LXST, but if you're interested in this kind of thing, it might be a good time to jump in.

Debian 13 "Trixie" Freeze Process Begins

｢ Following this toolchain and transition freeze, beginning around 15 April will be the next step as a soft freeze for Debian 13. No new packages and delayed migration will be enforced. One month later on 15 May the hard freeze for Debian 13 is expected. The full freeze is still to be determined along with ultimately when Debian 13.0 will be released ｣
