I would but you'd probably say "it's not canon" or something like that /j (I'm equally start trek and star wars, I can hate and agree with everyone!)
I know exactly what you mean. Just for general information, I've found another android client that I think it's better than Conversations. It's called Monocles chat (and it's on f-droid). On matrix/xmpp I install the whatsapp bridge. I can convert a few close family members but no way everyone. For me it's an acceptable compromise. I get the close members to use my servers/apps, everyone else through the bridge so I can at least have all the chat in one place
Why not host your own git repo (e.g. gitea) so you can do 2 or 4 without opening services outside?
Not enough hobnails on those boots, but I had the same idea!
The chat server (matrix and xmpp have different ones, but same functionality) that act like a whatsapp desktop client. Have you ever run whatsapp desktop client on your pc, where you have to pair it with your phone? Same thing, but you do it withing a special "bridge" (usually as a bot) in matrix or xmpp. So you get all the messages in one place. But it doesn't work for calls, just for messages.
Frienda no, but I do use whatsapp bridges so I can have all conversations in one place.
Family with extreme nagging, and because I'm the IT guy of the house so they kinda trust me/can't be bothered to try and out-talk me.
Gajim on pc (I use arch btw - well endeavourOS because I can't be bothered) and don't remember what on android (there is the full list or clients and capabilities on xmpp.org)
No.
Yeah ok. First of all, because I can 😁. I mean z what's good being an IT nerd if I can't change stuff when I want?
Jokes aside, I've been reading more recently on matrix and looks like there are some security issues in the design of the app/protocol. I'm on mobile now, I'll look for sources when I'm on pc. Also I don't like that it is a server centric system (so data is primarily on the server instead of the clients). Also it takes more resources than I was expecting. For less than 10 users I can't have less than 4gb of ram (on a dedicated debian server, running docker) or it swaps so much it kills the system.
So basically I'm testing out if xmpp is a better system for those issues.
I've been using matrix for years to this purpose, but moving to xmpp/prosody now
Via vpn within a guest browser session is the first thing that comes to mind. What are yourconcernss exactly?
Yep, and I'm stuck in one. Get the fire department, tell them it happened AGAIN
I ended up with xz. According to this page it's the one with the best compression ratio. It's also the slowest but since it was one off I didn't mind about it.
Username checks out! Also you're absolutely right, just last month I was looking for the best compression algorithm/packages to archive a 70gb DB
Look up the yacy repo in github
Dropped my martini on thinkpad. Dried it out with a cloth the best I could. Nothing happened apart that every time it warmed up it started smelling of Martini
for the downvoters, it's a song from a Monthy Python movie, so comedy (and great one at that!)
There's obviously an xkcd for this
Hello everyone! I currently selfhost a matrix server but, seeing everyone talking about xmpp, I decided to try again with that one. I did try about 8-9 years ago but couldn't make it work (don't remember the issue, probably pebkac).
My requirements are:
- e2ee (I see OMEMO is the solution for this);
- audio/video calls (looks like all the main clients/servers supports this with SIP or similar);
- whatsapp bridge: this is very important as I currently use my matrix with element to chat (not calls) with all the whatsapp contacts.
Would be nice if the server runs with docker images (but I see Prosody has the option so not an issue).
So basically I am a bit stumped only on the whatsapp bridge thing. I see some github repos for that but they all seem quite old.
Any help, pointers, suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Unless you are in dangerously high winds (like shit-flying-around-winds), when you cut the string on a kite it comes down. Sadly and floppily.
Edit: spelling
May the uptime be long and the logs without errors (and not just because logging is broken!)
Hello there! I've been hosting different kind of services for some time, and I would like to self host a server of minecraft for my kids to use. Basically I want a walled garden solution where he can play but no external access (for external users I mean).
I have a server with docker and hosting the server looks simple. I did spun up a bedrock (I think? Can't remember for sure) server. My problem is: how do I access it? I don't see a "custom server" option in the official android client (he will play from a tablet at first). Can someone point me in the right direction?
TIA
