Kinda icky considering he was a grade A racist.

There are a couple things that are public. Nothing that’s not containerized in an LXC. SSH is only available with VPN. I once locked myself out after not being at home as we had a blackout, I found no way in after two days and had to get there physically. I think I’m fine.

I think the reveal trailer was like last year? This didn’t come out of nowhere.

Element call exists and both audio over screen share and encrypted video calls are a thing since couple years now. It’s not a 1:1 discord and it’s good because of that.

I’ve been on matrix for over about two years now. There is no noticeable slowness on the client, on any that I tried (and I’ve tried a lot of them), and the chats for our groups open immediately.

There have been 0 encryption errors so far. We use encryption only in private chats and chats where we exchange important data. I have only been on large encrypted rooms (100+) once, and I did have an initial loading phase which took a couple of seconds. One should be able to live with that.

I have brought 12 people including my mother on element. Three of those people are what I consider “techy”, and the rest managed to join and use it by themselves with zero teaching from me (other than giving them the home server URL).

Hating matrix because lots of people are on the flagship server is like hating email because most people use Gmail. It’s not relevant for you. They can use whatever and you can use whatever.

I have a feeling that I have this talk once a month because there are misconceptions and misinformation on matrix. Matrix does have some issues, but these are not it.

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2545 Exists since 2020. But are custom emotes really the reason that you don’t use matrix?

Ok go ahead, and please explain why matrix is awful. Please only speak from recent experience.

It’s also a slop project. Matrix exists: join it and enjoy the federated future.

Not personally interested,but a big question with something like this is how much time you have and how do you plan to maintain it in the long term? Don’t want to dissuade you, but I really don’t know if we need yet another distribution based on arch.

Don’t preorder.

Cringe.

This comment thread is driving me nuts. Don’t repair the new thing you just bought, just send it back and get a new one.

I’m sure I could also allow a child to do the sysadmin tasks that I do, but that would be an extremely stupid thing to do. Our systems can’t break. AI breaks shit constantly.

Isn’t Slate owned by Bezos anyway?

Lives have been lost in this war, but you’d be crazy to think that Emacs is not the superior editor. (Half /s)

I did though? I said this is a slop project.

Ah yeah, truly one of those slop-type programs.

Not the greatest MOBA imo, but definitely one of the best Blizzard games and one of the greatest MOBAs.

Another Crab’s Treasure has these vibes.
