What about something xmpp-based like Jabber, Prosody, or Snikket?

This is pretty cool, thanks for sharing!

Really??? That’s insane it resets so much! Who is your ISP?

I’m late to the party, but could everyone answer me this- how often does you’re public IP actually change with any of your ISPs??

With the numerous companies I’ve used, the ONLY time I’ve ever seen my IP change is getting a new modem through, say, Comcast or whoever. It goes by MAC address, and if you use Comcast and then set to bridge mode and use your own device, that’s a new MAC so you’d get a new public IP. Swap ISPs obviously a new IP.

I’ve NEVER randomly received a new IP when using the same equipment consistently, so I’m not sure why everyone’s so worried about dynamic DNS stuff… Maybe outside the US is different? I’ve lived in a few States and it’s always the same. If you make a hardware change, just note you should also double check your IP and update it, that’s all.

Waterfox is a great all-around platform for desktop and mobile.

It’s roughly split in OS in US. I fell most security conscious users are android users. Sold might initially give slightly better initial privacy, android is far more customizable to the point there’s no contest.

Plus, I buy my phones outright so I’m not stuck with a $1000+ phone in a contract or subsidized phone plan making payments.

How not? Cheogram is using xmpp, no? Just using jmp as a 3rd party service to give you a number. Right?

I’m hosting my own xmpp server to have better control over my data, ensuring the in-app texting is secure. Of course over a mobile number of a text recipient, they’re still vulnerable to normal carrier bs and therefore so would my messages be exposed. But I think cutting back shows and potential to block the spam calls

Been saying that a while. It’s a niche that’s gotta be filled by someone for the ultra wealthy and political leaders. It’s like you won’t be accepted or protected unless you’re as guilty as they are and sink to their level.

Docker makes sense for several applications, but there’s no intuition unless you’re good at memorizing commands/command lines. I can’t just open up an installer or fumble through it decently well enough to get up and running.

While a UI does add overhead, done well it’s not bad. But also, different people learn different styles, and for the extra bit of resources, I’m willing to sacrifice a few MB ram or CPU utilization for less tinker time. However, 20 years ago I didn’t mind spending that time learning stuff like that because I had a lot more time and way less commitments!

Hah, nice! Yeah maybe my self-hosted AI agent will “take my job” from me at home! Boom, genius

I’m going against the new-age tech grain with this, but… I fucking despise docker anything. I can follow directions fine, it’s the troubleshooting that takes too much time. Sure, I’ll learn it eventually, but I do IT for a living I’m not coming home to waste my nights also doing this.

I’ve setup ZimaOS as a massive NAS with Yunohost on anything web-hosted/accessible. A. It’s easier with a graphical UI on stuff that’s packaged. B. Installing, updating, and most other services are pretty well automated/packaged to work really well. C. When i have the conversations with friends who aren’t tech savvy and are overwhelmed, I want to have firsthand knowledge of easy systems that’re basic, but powerful, and will help them dip their toes in freedom.

No Proxmox, unraid, no docker stuff, no nested VMs, no more complex setups. While I can learn to troubleshoot and memorize CLI, I’m too old and busy with family and work/commute to deal with problems at home lol. Too much tinkering has poised my wife off to the point she thinks all the self hosted stuff is unreliable. So, I deploy, test, vet basic issues, and if it’s too much time or setup involved, or dependencies on other apps, I’m out!!

Too many containers, too many fragile, partial service apps that just feel incomplete. Yuno and Zima (formerly casa) are great!! Others being tested too for fun but at snails pace lol.

Dude, yeah been on it for years, phenomenal uptime!! Rarely issues.

I hope this is a good question:

What happens in a couple years when all this code that’s been written by Copilot and the like, Microsoft then turns around and says, “OH YEAH, BTW THAT WAS GENERATED BY OUR AI SO NOW WE OWN YOUR APP!” Look, most social media ToS says anything uploaded to their sites is owned by them now, royalties-free.

Right now it’s no big deal to any AI company because more code means more training for the AI, but will we get to the point that they’re happy with code output enough and then turn around claiming they own those? Plus, any successful apps are then basically free/no cost contributed projects?

Bonus: Also, what happens when AI is trained on AI-written code that was initially wrong by AI? Is the system doomed to never really improve because of so many inaccuracies?

Lmao you’re not wrong!

Well, yeah, neither of us are on social media. I need to text a few circles of friends but 5 signatures means it’ll get more promotion out there.

Oh that’s a bummer. Idk I’ll have to let him know to look for it.

Oh man! A friend just sent me this earlier today, I completely forgot to sign, but seeing this reminded me! Sharing the love.

Pretty sure odf extension is what LibreOffice uses for a “Word” doc, so I would hope it’s open. Now whether or not MS properly uses it is another thing entirely.

Dude idk… Reads like Aryan (Hitler’s version) to me and I don’t like it.

I just wouldn’t wasn’t to day I use the Aeryn distro lol, sure, Linux, but idk.
