@a @selfhosted @selfhostedchat Unfortunately no, as we don't have any apple devices in the house.

@a @selfhosted @selfhostedchat Prosody (xmpp). The kids use Dino on their linux laptops, and Conversations on their android phones. The biggest problem we have is that the kids want to invite non-family members into the family chat, and I'm just not set up for that.

@tripflag @disobey2623 Your statement is correct; the way seafile stores files is in blocks (for de-duplication, apparently).

They offer a fuse extension that allows you to view stuff like a normal filesystem, though I've never tried it: https://manual.seafile.com/latest/extension/fuse/

@ssdfsdf3488sd My understanding it that they're both pretty much the same, so I wouldn't unless snikket has stopped being maintained or something?

@2xsaiko XMPP is nice and lightweight, so I think either would work fine. I just find prosody has more community momentum.

It was matrix that was a massive memory hog, required running bleeding-edge homeserver software, didn't do proper security support, etc, so that's where I have stronger feelings.

@2xsaiko A big caveat is that I used them in very different time frames - prosody starting from 2021 to now, while ejabberd I used from 2006 to 2012 or so. At the time I used it, ejabberd's config was done in erlang(!); they apparently they've since switched to yaml configs. It was generally fine, but when I switched back to XMPP in 2021, I figured I'd go with a server in a less niche language and better support (the jmp.chat folks mostly use & recommend snikket/prosody).

@poVoq @fmstrat I ran ejabberd for years before switching to matrix (synapse). Matrix was a disaster, plus jmp.chat is a fantastic google voice / VOIP replacement, so I switched back to xmpp (with prosody). Out of those options, prosody is clearly the best for self-hosting.

@BackYardIncendiary @ProdigalFrog If you have an old latitude, newer kernels also allow you to set min/max charging thresholds. My syncthing server (and NAS and a few other things) is an old 2013/2014 dell latitude e7240. It's not the original battery, but I do keep it in decent shape via charging thresholds.

@irmadlad @lambalicious I just manually do the audio captcha. Every time. Because the picture captchas often don't work correctly for me.

It does bug me a little that I don't know what the audio captcha is being used for - am I helping an amazon echo transcribe whatever it is surreptitiously listening to?

@possiblylinux127 @Tattorack See also this table: https://discuss.techlore.tech/t/comparison-chart-of-grapheneos-divestos-and-calyxos/5618

A bit outdated since Divest is gone (😢), but a core difference is that Graphene prefers proprietary google stuff that is sandboxed and not given any privileges, while Calyx prefers free software versions that might have other issues (eg incomplete, or unsigned coming from third-party sources).

@TheButtonJustSpins @Wolfizen lol. I'm not the original poster, but my spouse and kids just use vlc.

(we do have kodi set up for TVs, but we don't use it very often. Mostly everyone watches stuff on laptops.)
