Ok, understood. So if you’re not online, you pretty much lose messages, or are they cached and the next time the sender is online you get them?

My use case is a kid using a minecraft server and wants to talk to his friends, and we’re using mumble now, but they want “discord” and they want things like plugins that allow mgmt from the discord channels, which I would be willing to try to develop, but the model pretty much requires a server to be online.

In general, I’m trying to make a small internet for my kids and their friends to have “normal” internet experiences without being on the wider internet. No youtube, but pinchflat -> jellyfin. No discord, but mumble. No google drive, but nextcloud.

I have been exploring self-hosted Discord alternatives and had been looking at Rocket Chat, so I am wondering what is the pitch for this versus something like that? I am very early in my exploration, of course.

I use pinchflat to download media, then Jellyfin Youtube Metadata Plugin. It works very well, and it’s let me block the youtube app for my kids but still give them specific content.

Capitalism and socialism are a pendulum, acting as a response to each other and the exploitation of the flaws in the system. The real enemy is authoritarianism which defends whichever system is in power at the time.

Muse is the scariest villain we have seen in the MCU.

I think this was a phenomenal fun episode, as a bottle it is just so fun. I get the Kamala tie ins were ham fisted, but it was just a good time.

It’s a multiverse film, she could easily come back as alternate universe yelena or maria hill. The phrasing is very specific.

Seems like it still in development, they have improvements in mind to reduce unnecessary system calls, and at this time you would only run these patches if memory safety was ago critical you didn’t care about IO performance, which is niche.

I know everyone likes tmux but screen is phenomenal. I have a .screenrc I deploy everywhere with a statusbar at the bottom, a set number of pre-defined tabs, and logging to a directory (which is cleaned up after 30 days) so I can go back and figure out what I did. Great tool.

Just gonna say it… Uatu is in the wrong. He has 1 job, he swore an oath, and he knew there was accountability. His motivation was just boredom and being worn down by repetative events, which is the whole thing he is. Then the multiverse avengers recruit a multiverse threatening bad guy which should have gone terribly… But… It didn’t because he was bored too? I am liking this season, but Uatu is objectively wrong and so are the heroes.

I think this was a contender up against “What if Tchalla became Star Lord” for best What-If episode. Absolute joy.

This is a good breakdown. A firehose relay takes TB’s of storage and is not practical for self-hosting, and AppView isn’t hostable yet: https://alice.bsky.sh/post/3laega7icmi2q

It’s probably more than you are looking for but if you are already looking at self hosting things connected with NextCloud, use NextCloud Talk. We use it for the family and it is great.

This may not be exactly what you want, but I use Apache guacamole for this. The client becomes a web browser, and a chromium based browser allows seamless bidirectional clipboard. I use Ubuntu VMs with Mate as the DM and with a few keybinds tweaked it is solid. I use tightVNC as my server which supports dynamic resize, and the soon to be released guacamole 1.6 supports sending dynamic resize (since the underlying libraries are now updated to support it; RDP in guac already supports dynamic resize). How performant is it? I have a single proxmox vm which runs 3 Minecraft instances for our server’s 3 bot accounts (which just stand still) and the desktop is still navigable.

The vibes of Agatha and Wanda vision being totally unique each episode are a lot of fun

It’s really nice to have a low-stakes show. And the campiness right before halloween is refreshing, it’s good vibes. I’m tired of shows like Secret Invasion being like ‘this show will determine if the planet survives.’ It’s nice to just have a fun character show in a shared universe.

I’m super happy and excited for GIMP 3.0. I hate that this info was presented in a youtube video. I can gleam what I want to know from an article with bullet points (which I could find) but I’m sick of half the information I search for being returned in a video, with a fixed time commitment and imprecise “scrolling” to skip. I feel like in search and link aggregators, more and more content is video instead of text and I’m not here for it.

I’ve seen so much “that’s not what a sith would do” and “that’s nothing like a true Jedi” complaining

I did not dislike the show, but I’m confused who it was for. My wife is not as deep into Star wars as I am and thought it was boring and could not connect with the sisters at all. I thought a lot of the lore stuff was interesting, but everything I’m seeing online and on YouTube is complaining that the lore does not match their expectations from Legends. I mean Legends doesn’t count, but you can’t pitch a show for people who are super into deep Star wars lore and not figure that you have to be consistent with legends or else you’re going to make them mad. I guess I’m just not sure who this show was for?

Well, and Rogue One
