Truthfully?

The EU is forcing the big chat companies to open their gates. They have until April of next year to comply, so we might see a common protocol for chat pretty soon

This wasn't just a meme? These candles are real????

Serious eats 😢 RIP

Chat apps are only part of it. It will force iOS and android to offer competing app market too.

This was a well written and interesting piece from someone who knows about the subject matter. What a refreshing piece of content. Thank you for sharing

The bridges need to decrypt your messages before encrypting them again to send them to you. This is done in memory, so it's not impossible for your messages to be read by beeper, but quite difficult.

That said, self hosting will always be a safer option. It's just not for everyone

Is anyone using this? It looks great, but that disclaimer everywhere saying you shouldn't use it concerns me.

If you use it, what is your experience?

Cola and cream? 🤔

Alright... I'm in

This repo does a great job of simplifying it. The deployment process is completely automated with ansible, has the best documentation you could ask for https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

Was bought out by dotdash a few years ago. Been on a steady decline ever since. The old content is still there, so it still works as a reference, but the new stuff is not of the same quality

That's interesting. So they buy the domain on your behalf and then rent it out to you. Pretty cool concept

That said, I've owned a fair few domains and never had to deal with 3rd parties, so I'm not sure if the added security risk (however small) of them hijacking your domain is worth it. For me, at least. YMMV

What do you mean with "went to bed"?

I love this. I have to know what the wider context of it is. Is there more?

I've heard the others but this is the first time I've heard not to spend crypto. What's the reasoning behind that?

Does anyone have the original image that accompanies this text? I've seen many memes with this tag line, but I dont think I've ever seen the original

I've not heard about this. Does anyone have a link to share? Can't find one myself

Same, this will plague Rod Stewart just like what Team America did to Matt Damon

What makes a registrar more privacy focused than another. Just had a read of their website, but couldn't understand why they're better for privacy than any other

Point taken about backups. I wouldn't self host something like this without backups.

Backups are obviously a good idea, but it's a pain in the ass having to restore your data. A disclaimer like this implies that restoring from backup will be a regular thing. That's why I was curious about peoples experience with it. How frequently does it wipe your photos?

This is true. Would probably be much easier technically and legally if they already own it, though.

Yes, there's the one open port that is required. Otherwise your traffic gets routed through Plex servers and the streams are limited to pretty poor quality video

Tailscale is another one I've heard of but haven't looked much into it.

This article put me off a bit. Seems like an unnecessarily complicated setup https://www.jjpdev.com/posts/plex-media-server-tailscale/

That racknerd price for a vps sounds too good to be true!

Memory is not storage, so you would need to be logging what's in memory, I guess. Not impossible, but also not trivial either.

Honestly I'm not sure how it could be done, but I'm sure it's possible

Do you mean something link subdomain.domain.tld? Because I have that set up with namecheap

You can just use ports as if you're on a local network.

This is the bit I find confusing. Doesn't Plex need that port to be open to the outside world?

Or is your setup only open to devices on your private tailscale network and therefore seeing it as local?

If that's the case, I'll need to see if tailscale can work with osmc, since that's what I have running on my raspi behind my tv
