I am doing it because it is fun and it is a way to try to understand how things work. I am still not sure whether my answers successfully propagate to all servers.
This guy is a shame for us all, French academics… sorry World, please know we’re not all frauds….
I use Matrix (Element client on iOS) with the extended family and it works well. Most of them are not tech-savvy. I self-host my own Matrix instance because I wanted to have control on where personal pictures were hosted.
Yes you need a domain but that is usually quite cheap
I am a scientist myself, and I know what the HCERES says about his institute, and also that his institute no longer had support of the CNRS, which is telling considering that the CNRS only very rarely make such moves, as well as editors no longer accepting his papers leading him to create his own self serving journals. My issues with him are his lack of scientific rigor and lack of scientific ethics. Unfortunately, he's staining the community as a whole, even though he lost support of several scientific institutions long before the Covid.
Fascinating. I heard something similar with particle pollution in big cities.
And naturally, matrix is federated so you can join rooms of any other instance.
I think I once read that when the metric system was first defined during the French Revolution, they also tried to use a decimal system for time, but that was quickly abandoned.
My understanding is that they also need low thermal noise to ensure pure states. They cool much below the superconduction threshold temperature (eg typically 20 mK). So I am not sure that this would be useful for quantum computers at the moment. Magnetic field productions such as that in MRI requires high current, so that depends on the maximum current that this material can sustain before that breaks superconductivity. So it could perhaps turn out useful or totally useless. Hard to say at the moment.
I like the Password for Nextcloud app. I self-host mine, but I think there might be Nextcloud instances that you can access. It is encrypted, and has an app for smartphones.
Do we know that this is the one and only domain that they will use when and if they actually enable federation ?
Very interesting read. Thanks for sharing. I’m curious: have you considered [matrix] nowadays?
The not so tech savvy family members have trouble with e2e though. They always have problems with device somehow not properly authorized, and some encrypted rooms accessible from the computer but not from the phone. I usually solve it for them regularly, but they still can’t do it by themselves. So I prefer to keep the rooms unencrypted (we are not sharing state secrets anyway), but self-hosted (I don’t want to give away family pictures to big tech companies).
From my limited experience, make sure the things you want to solder are mechanically held together. And heat the pieces you want to solder, and use them to melt the tin. Never melt the tin directly on the iron.
You can use a third hand, typically like this: https://befr.rs-online.com/web/p/soldering-accessories/1466439
Yes ! This would also be useful on Mastodon.
There is also an iOS app. It is quite simple but it works well.
I’ve never bothered to try alternatives to Element. Are they worth trying ?
Or another instance. Mastodon.social is quite overloaded.
I don’t know which ingredients are required but I don’t think they had tomatoes at that time. Wasn’t they discovered in the new world?
Same for me.
Maybe your instance was defederated by the instance of the community you are trying to post to? From what I understand, you can check in the Instances link of this server if your instance is listed. I don’t know if that is still true, but I think Beehaw (temporarily?) defederated lemmy.world for example, because it was growing so fast that they couldn’t keep up with the moderation.
How do you forward Whatsapp to matrix? Is it two-way?
Keep in mind that superconductors have a critical current below which you have to be if you want to stay in the superconductive states. So for a superconductor to be useful for energy transport, this current has to not be tiny. I haven’t had the time to read their paper so I don’t know the value of the critical current. Also if for some reason the current suddenly goes beyond the critical current, the wire will heat suddenly, with possible damage…
