"linux+nginx+postgres+favourite-lang" - I agree here. Yes, don't over-complicate things.

I too have that same Dell Optiplex 3060 micro. I love it for experimenting also. Also use wireguard for remote access. I use incus for my Linux containers, preferring it to proxmox.

People complain about how they hate to use the command line in Linux. But they don't similarly complain about these ultra obscure, ugly commands. When Microsoft necessitates commands, somehow it's different.

Every narcissist will love this, and I'm not kidding. This is their catnip: attention itself.

DoH is the enemy of all self-hosters. When port 443 is used, you can't discriminate on it - to perhaps monitor it, work towards debugging it, block it, re-route it, etc. DNS shouldn't be a stow-away within some other protocol like

WebRTC is very, very hard to code for. But if FFmpeg abstracts that complexity away, then WebRTC becomes much easier to add to a software project wishing to benfit from that which WebRTC offers.

Gajim, the XMPP client, has been awaiting this for a long time! Their Audio/Video calling features fell into deprecation, and they've been patiently waiting for FFmpeg to make it much easier for them to add Audio/Video callin

"If I type the @ symbol in a group to mention a participant Meta AI is in the list." - I just tried it myself in a group chat, but I don't see it. Maybe it's just starting to be added? or was made invisible to being list

actually, push-to-talk voice memos do work Gajim. An underrated feature! Prosody allows voice and video calls - I have a TURN server all set up with it - but QOS rules (which are beyond my control, and are the fault of the ISPs I use) can s

I run Prosody XMPP server on a cheap VPS, and appreciate how it's a stock Debian package, greatly simplifying security updates. It's delightfully lightweight on the server. I use Conversations as a client in Android, and Gajim in

I agree the slowness is a deal breaker. (Note: I tested it out a few years ago, but never went beyond that prototyping phase)

Discourse is written in ruby, and it's not as performant as I would like. Discourse isn't really suitable for running on, say, a Raspberry Pi 5. It's even somewhat sluggish-feeling at times, running on a 4ish year old PC as a

I've been keeping my eye out for something more responsive (in an AJAX-like way) than phpBB, but less bloated than Discourse (as it's written in ruby). Something Open Source, decently low-effort to maintain (I like Debian), could

It's interesting how no matter how much that we'd all like for technology to be this nice tidy domain of knowledge which doesn't intermingle in any messy way with philosophy or religion - where there is much less exactitude a

Strongly agree that this is a great answer. Anyone who neglects to see the interpersonal persective/psychology of entire demographics of users (considering their needs and wants), focusing only on the technical, is missing a big dime

IRC is not mobile-friendly (and I have to regretfully admit we live in a push-notification-requiring sort of world now). Myself, I needed something IRC-like, which was open-source, and mobile friendly , so I tried Mattermost team server fo

I've been using Librewolf for about a week now, and I hope they strip out/disable this AI feature. A few librewolf "gotchas", BTW, should anyone else want to try it: https://c.im/@sbb/112653498580361

Once AI becomes covertly Narcissistic, or Machiavellian, then indeed very big trouble - psychologically - is in store for vast swathes of people. Here are a couple of brief videos on dark psychological strategies - which AI can be taught to

Your YAML example doesn't need double-quotes around the IPv4 addresses, but then very confusingly and problematically does need double-quotes around an IPv6 address, due to the colons . This creates a serious footgun in Ubuntu net
