Suggest me a secure chat platform for my family
  • Zulip hit's the sweet spot for me, as it's pretty straight forward to use and not too many bangs and whistle's.

    Alternatively I'm also very happy with signal for communicating with other ones where Idon't have to vother about user management too much.

  • Not FOSS anymore. More like open core these days.

  • Self-hosting keeps your private data out of AI models
  • You could pay them for their support. I know it sounds a bit cheeky, but the zulip folks are really great and the product is not one of the open core solutions where they strip out features based on your plan, like some others do.

  • Which Matrix server implemetation do I choose in 2024?
  • I did have a chat with one of the Element sales people a few months back and based on the conversation, it sounded that Dendrite is not anywhere on their roadmap to invest any resources.

  • Did Fedora 40 break something for you?
  • Running Silverblue here and only one minor issue due to the wifi mac address changes and locking myself out of my network.

    I also realised, that the upgrade didn't like it when Ihade packages removed from the base which resulted in broken dependencies.

    After resetting it upgrading went without any glitch.

  • Best option to run WhatsApp
  • other than for signing up and connecting the bridge once

    According to the docs, you still need the whatsapp client on a physical or virtual device to call back home every 2 weeks or so, which is really annoying.

    I also tried the route of using a disposable number for the activation code without any success.

  • Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why?
  • +1 for Gandi, as they also have an API for management as well and support ACME DNS challenge for Let's encrypt.

  • Travelling to the US - precautions?
  • If I just would have known it earlier.

    It was quite the surprise when boarding the return flight without having to show any baoarding passes.

  • Resticity - a cross-platform frontend for restic
  • It's great to see more and more tools around restic.

    DejaDup also recently added restic support.

  • FOSS alternative to Unsee.cc
  • Does not have all the features you listed, but I used Rustypaste in the past for sharing all kind of things and was quite happy with it.

  • What's Your Preferred Server Monitoring Method?
  • Similar setup here with additional exporters like cadvisor for container metrics and other components.

    OpenTelemetry is awesome, but still a very fast moving project. Expect therefore more frequent updates and changes compared to more older and established projects.

  • distrobox question...
  • I think what you are looking for is

    ${DBX_CONTAINER_HOME_PREFIX} or container_home_prefix=...

  • The European regulators listened to the Open Source communities!
    blog.opensource.org The European regulators listened to the Open Source communities!

    Open Source communities defended developers and foundations against risks posed by the CRA to Open Source development, and their voices were heard. Workshops being offered at FOSDEM offer a chance for others to participate moving forward.

  • Fully agree to this summary. traefik also gave me a hard time initially, but once you have the quirks worked out, it works as promised.

    Caddy is absolutely on my list as an alternative, but the lack of docker label support is currently the main roadblocker for me.

    Matrix, the open protocol for secure decentralised communications

    Hosting

    Hi all. I'm currently looking into alternatives to our current Saas chat solution and was wondering if it is viable to self host Matrix, or should I just go with a hosted solution from one of the ones listed on the Matrix page.

    What have your experiences been so far? What would your recommendations be?
