It’s not as dramatic as GP makes it, but Matrix had been at the prototyping stage and at figuring out its core protocol and state resolution algorithm for more than a decade now, it’s pretty ridiculous in itself.

Isn’t that the premise of the “$4 ubuntu over droplet deployment” option?

Instead of having Secluso-Deploy ssh into some cloud box and prep it up with the server-side software, why not have a container deployment option as well? I get that you want to ensure that the server is publicly reachable for the mobile clients to work on the go, but ultimately (and in all honesty) at this point, that should be a user concern/choice (those more advanced users may be peculiar about running behind tailscale, a home-VPN, a port-routing config, …).

Needless to say, most people here might find it easier to work with containers and build trust in the project by having it run in an isolated environment with limited permissions than blindly trusting that the code is what it says it is and not quietly running a botnet at digitalocean with their PII attached.

Hoping this goes somewhere https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues/13307

I mean, unless you’ve got a hardware accelerator (which won’t be a thing before multiple years from AV2’s release, and possibly more due to its complexity), it will be measurably much worse than current codecs.

Ballsy of you to assume that it got “easier for normies”, the answer probably lies in asking “easier for what?”. Computers have been redefined as consumption devices in a scheme to extract maximal profit out of their captive users. So it’s certainly “easy” for a growing number of users baited into dark patterns to hand over their credit card details and get addicted to antisocial networks and whatnot. But using modern devices as traditional computers, with intent, as a productive tool? It got much harder, except maybe for the Linux users, normies and “geeks” alike.

It doesn’t make any sense for large group chats: there’s just no secrecy to them. And that will cut you off from desired capabilities like server-side search. Not that I think that Zulip makes any sense in general when there are federated protocols that work and scale as well, but that’s another discussion.

I use my Trilium instance (notes-taking app, PKMS, …) for that kind of stuff: https://triliumnotes.org/

You can have a journal with day notes following a template with data-entry forms, which makes weight/mood/location/whatever tracker very easy to keep track of as a routine.

+1 on babybuddy, I’ve only good things to say about it and its community. Also, it’s a Django app, so the bar to tweak it exactly the way you want is very very low.

They may or may not, what makes it relevant nonetheless is the real loophole and the ethical/legal questions that ensue.

Perhaps that’s why I don’t work in marketing, but that would buy so much goodwill and interest from the early fans if they were just embracing it. The first game is very lovable, and people loving it would probably have a look at the new one and that’s essentially free advertising. The only reason I see them doing this is because they know already that it’s bad, like, very bad.

Since it’s a topic that comes back often on /c/[email protected] I didn’t want to open new floodgates, but I can only warmly recommend https://triliumnotes.org/ :-)

ok, but there’s not much substance to your comment besides unsubstantiated “zealotry” towards obsidian and some general hot takes against lemmy and the FOSS community through which it emerged.

Maybe you could start listing out a few aspects and features of obsidian that you deem so important and unique, and I’m sure that you may discover a few very compelling alternatives.

As far as I’m concerned, I’m all set with https://triliumnotes.org/ . It’s not just a more versatile and capable note taking app, it’s also one that I can deploy simultaneously “local first” and “as a web service”, so my notes are reachable everywhere (even where I’m not allowed to install the heavy client).

Joplin is reasonably good as long as you don’t use so much metadata to keep things organised. It’s also pretty rigid, and hence limiting. If you want something with the superficial simplicity of joplin, but that would scale up to your needs, I recommend giving https://triliumnotes.org/ a good look.

If you drop the plaintext requirement (which IMO is anachronistic, if not for the necessity to fend against a potentially turning hostile developer in a close-source set-up), you may find https://triliumnotes.org/ liberating.

If you must stick to the “notes as plain text files” paradigm, siyuan is better than obsidian in about every aspect, and logseq in other, more niche ones. Trilium is better than them all (IMHO), being the only one that does “note as data” correctly and efficiently (you don’t have the same data model divide like seen in notion between notes and databases).

You could, I don’t know, use an open source note taking app? I mean, it’s not like obsidian has some unique and unmatched capabilities ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Add ty to the tally. Fuck.

LLMs are not the tool for a recommender job

What’s your use case justifying the pain and suffering of self-hosting Matrix?

JFYI - after many years of trusting Borg with my backups, I found Kopia to be MUCH faster, in both snapshots creation time and browsing/diffing. I backup my whole home every 6 hours, so going from ~20min down to ~3min is an appreciable win. There’s also a web endpoint to Kopia that may make backing up on the go easier when you can’t trust your tunnel to home.

Nextcloud is way too bloated

It really isn’t, though? What if you deploy it from source with just the modules you need and a tuned config for PHP/postgres?
