Here's something I sometimes tell people: Contentment comes when "the way you want it" and "the way it is" overlap enough -- but sometimes in life, you can really only change one of those.

This article would have been significantly easier to comprehend if the author had given the tradeoffs names instead of constantly referring to them by "first", "second", and "third" tradeoff. (Granted, he fina

(I'm not OP) Zulip is good in theory, but I had two problems with it: 1) they had no [simple] means to install it on an existing server (VPS, what-have-you). It assumed (required!) that Zulip would be the only thing on whatever you in

I like what Zulip tries to be in theory (the "topics" feature is really great), but there are two knocks against it, in my opinion: 1. They do not support self-hosting the code on a system with anything else hosted on it. You a

I'm hardly a Slack fan, but, in fairness, I've never considered Slack to be slow or resource intensive. Either the web UI or the (OSX) desktop app. Or are you referring to audio calls and video calls?

Yep, you're right. My mistake. But we've been touch by other means.

I'm using coturn for TURN and STUN, and they are on the same VPS that hosts the Nextcloud code, version 13. If you actually want to help me solve the problems, send me a DM on github (username Pistos), and I can give you more of the t

In my experience, Nextcloud's file sharing features are great, working as expected. We use it mainly to share large files with business contacts, both directions. I haven't tried the desktop apps. We use the web interface and t

Anecdata point: I had a lot of trouble setting up Nextcloud Talk with my own STUN & TURN servers. Even after I'd gotten that going, NCT video calls have been extremely unreliable, with it fully working only maybe 1 in 5 times, o

I get the point of this, but me personally, I prefer to have aspects of me forgotten/gone rather than remembered, stored and searchable in the future. Yes, it's true that, about once every two months, I am looking for something t

I can't imagine writing a real-world Vue app without Vuex. As such, I can't help feeling like this article, despite the best of intentions, is probably misrepresenting things. The last several Vue apps I've written have not

I'm a little amazed at all the reports of problems in the comments here on HN. I have been using Synergy for probably 15 years now, and have had very little issue with it. I use it to connect Linux, OSX and Windows. I use what appea

Maybe my needs are much more modest than that of the average user, but, as a matter of fact, I do get by without using extensions from the Google Chrome store which are not open source. I do install open source ones from there, but I'

I don't per se "hang out" anywhere online. Most of my musical activities are engaged in within meatspace. At most, I might share the occasional recording on social networks. I've participated a bit in music-related fo

I'm just another data point, but, in my case, the honest truth is that I deliberately avoided a career in music because I thought that it would be too hard and/or risky to make much money. My formal studies were in computers, sci

Nice! The example code looks simple enough to understand relatively quickly, and it does seem to work (good on you to have working demos to show). May play with this some time soon. You should put some contact info in the README. e.g. I
