Server logs are empty, I'm using ESS version of the server.

Additionally, in yesterday’s chat with this person, since today I see a “!” mark next to each of their messages, with the text “Encrypted by a device not verified by its owner” appearing on hover. Yesterday there were no such badges. I don’t see such badges in other chats either.
