Thats a lot of text to say „I‘m not interested in debate.“

I think its the wrong platform if you just want to push your ideas and takes and cant accept different opinions. A blog would be more fitting in that case.

And again, have a good one.

I think peertube needs shortd and mobile apps desperately to fill this void.

I completely agree that everyone should use free software. Not for free of course but by donating or straight up paying for it.

That aside, I think your stance is the „vindictive vegan“ approach. While I‘m a newly found fan of veganism, I strongly dislike the „you’re either with us or against us“ approach.

I personally run a matrix server (which is foss, even if it sounds like its second class foss to you) and have it bridged to discord, whatsapp and signal. Why? Because that helps me convert people.

Their reasons for joining matrix:

• You can use one app (fluffychat in my case) instead of four apps
• People on the other platforms miss out if the bridge goes down which shows them its matrix first. With mautrix bridges, the bridge very rarely goes down btw
• their chats will be accessible for them forever if they wish, with backups they can take whenever they like
• no chance the EU breaks their encryption
• no chance for discord, meta or anyone else to sell their data (of course not in the bridged room)

I think there are better albeit more manipulative ways to get people to convert instead of punching them on the nose. Certain matrix only rooms do help, provided they have no equivalent on the other side.

Anyway, have a good one.

Walled garden or die

Thats how i read azure

Hi friend! Good to see this insightful comment comes from you.

Iirc there should be a way to complain to the authorities about this, right?

I didnt even know about this one. Pretty awesome. Is it a drop in replacement for jellyfin and plex or different?

I dont know about caddy but nginx proxy manager does this very well. Also, if running in docker, you can expose the port that runs ssh for forgejo und a different port than the host machine‘s (eg 2222). In that case you just put the remote in with the port and call it a day.

I wish they got sanctioned into oblivion.

Apple is getting their butt handed to them in china. Very nice.

*Then every studio and media corp decided to take us back to piracy.

There, ftfy. ;)

It is pretty good but pretty reduced in functionality imo. Thats why I generally suggest fluffychat. Its nowhere perfect either but it works better on a daily basis for me.

I know. I said semi abandoned because element x is their focus, which is the reason they are not adding features to element and are hesitant to put in fixes for things that would require massive changes.

This is still not ideal because the flagship app isnt advancing in a good speed. Thats why I dont recommend it.

Matrix is great and works great.

Element is a semi abandoned client that happened to come from some of the makers of matrix.

Use literally anything else. Fluffychat works for me. Element is okay for debugging sometimes so I keep it handy.

But the commenters point stands. In matrix, you can send whatever you like, as illegal or morally corrupt as you wish because its nobody‘s fucking business AND e2ee.

If someone on my server sends csam, I would never know unless someone reported it to me. Because thats how privacy works.

*taken down.

There, ftfy.

This might prove useful if the EU goes forward with chat control and maybe DPI further down the road.

I‘ve been their webhosting for 10 years and besides some minor errors (website didnt work for 30 mins here and there) I‘m very happy.

I informed myself about their cloud programme with help of a sales rep and although it is quite expensive compared to hetzner, it seems very usable.

I dont think you need to worry about them for a vps. Its not like they would rob you or your data will be lost. They might turn out to be slightly better or worse than hetzner long term which would both be fine in my book.

0.25 atm. For the fleet!

This is tremendously helpful! Thank you.

From that I would assume that there is need for a federated service that blatantly copies this technique. It is indestructible and not profit oriented which will make it a great alternative for people to just publish to on the side. The review process of course needs to be worked out so that it can have good reputation. As in stack overflow, senior authors review junior authors, etc. one could also start by using known accounts of the proprietary journals as base for peer reviews, etc.

I‘m not a scientist, I just create a lot of stuff and have a strong tendency towards open source and federated media.

It feels to me like you‘re saddling the horse from behind.

Most companies will not be okay with someone using their stuff, especially not if the person or company makes any money with it.

Instead, I would ask in what cases you dont have the company find out about it. Like, if you share movies, shows, etc. Do so in a country that doesnt comply with takedown requests etc.

But yes, you should rely on open source stuff as much as possible.
