if not for the forced installation of the official client, it would really be neat. with a telegram bridge i also have good experience, only a single hiccup, years ago.

i have Whatsapp in a frozen shelter to starts it every two weeks.

recently i was thinking to have a second home server just for bridges, you should be able to use it federated. but didn’t try it yet.

main point for me was the sheer amount of ghost users.

one Location for dozen of rss feeds instead of looking up each individual. alternative is of course setting up the feeds on the client computer, but that works only nice if you use it only from one device (e.g. read history sync).

furthermore i prefer to have such set ups on a server with backups, so if e.g. my phone gets lost i don’t need to find back all those urls.

I’m using matrix for years with my wife and my mom, never really had issues, but maybe my requirements are not that high.

land of the free!

my ADHD is acting up to much to read all the text above, so in case it wasn’t included: the is a physical limit to frequency in conventional conductors. normally metals have only ohm resistance, which does not depend on frequency and is generally rather low, but for instance in the case of copper a capacitative resistance significantly rises at around 1ghz, which gets only worse. this comes from structural effects in the lattice which form like small capacitors. i don’t know the exact details from a solid state point of view, just remember the fact itself from a fiber optics lecture.

long story short: for high frequency (ergo, high data throughout) signals the resistance becomes insane, so you want to have your conductors as short as possible.

another thing that just pops into mind: i remember that for pci-5 the motherboard length is also more limited, due to the same reason.

i tried all three for my personal use. so i can’t say much about collaboration aspects. anyway:

• gitlab is old, stable and solid. and it eats half of your servers resources.
• gitea and forgeji are for me equal in experience, which is makes sense, as one being a fork of the other. i haven’t had any issues with anything, from setting up, using openid as auth method, to ssh passthrough.
• eventually i settled now on forgejo, simply for ideology reasons. it’s heavily developed, so things might change. but they have this nice attitude to not release a latest tag for docker. so you can’t accidentally update to a breaking change. had this issue with some other programs, which i spun up to quickly.
• looking forward to federation feature on forgejo!

custom OS shouldn’t be effected by it. I’ll probably change soon as well.

anyway, that is rather independent on the petition. a petition is usually not for your own short term benefit, rather for the common good, or outreach of the general problem. so doing either is for different reasons, both reasonable

here it makes at least some sense to verify that each person voted once. the mail list stuff is of course to much and should be optional from the beginning.

wait… there was a v2.* ? feels like yesterday that i read about the release and wanted to check it out since

that some like something easily scriptable, if Google photos has something even remotely resembling an api. don’t know if it does though, never used it.

i used snap cast for a while and am really happy with it. just finding the right hardware is a struggle for me (in particular the dac and speaker part). I’ll read your article later, i hope there are some clues about this :)

that is a good way. so people who don’t want to see it, can easily filter it.

i think that is were tagging comes in handy

I remember just recently a post about a “smart” washing machine creating over 3GB of Internet traffic per day.

my wife and i use owntracks for address now. it’s a pretty easy setup, bit can be expended at will. the confusing part at the beginning is just that there is no actual “owntracks server”.

what you do is: set up a mqtt server, of you don’t have one already (e.g. mosquitto) and install the owntracks app on the devices.

isn’t json already a human readable format? ;) ok, jokes aside. to parse a file interactively, like i need to extract some information now, i use Julia, because I’m working with it anyway. that’s of course not very practical for automation scripts. most convenient would be a language that is already incorporated in your setup. otherwise i usually end up with a bash script with some jq calls.

Neat, was working on this on and off for a while, but no time to read now.

I mean… I set it up many many years ago… Without looking it up I can also just guess.
