@ECEC Good lord the number of replies here from people whose brains have been destroyed by "planners"...

1. Trees lower the urban heat island effect.
2. There's plenty of room for trees in dense places, so long as "density" means efficient housing and efficient transportation rather than parking lots and stroads and single-family homes.
3. Someone said "trees require maintenance", as if asphalt & pretty much everything doesn't require maintenance?
4. Trees harm cars. But cars harm cars too!

@claralistensprechen5th @ECEC Sounds like the problem is cars, not trees.

@leodavinci @poVoq @sxan I can't speak to iOS, but at least on android that's not a problem as long as you grant it the proper permissions.

@poVoq @sxan Also, I used to maintain a matrix client in Debian, as well as self-hosting synapse. I went back to XMPP.

@poVoq @sxan I have a 200MB/mo data connection, and my XMPP client (Cheogram) is barely a blip. The main driver of data usage with it is when my family is sending around 0.5MB images to each other.

@mac @poVoq Just curious what you dislike about Cheogram's UX?

@ItJustDonn @486 Hang on, this runs chromium as root? That seems like a _really_ bad idea. And unnecessary, since there's a hoarder user installed later in the script...

@Coldmoon @Steamymoomilk I mean, a few months ago I bought a 10TB used HGST drive from 2018 (from goharddrive). The bigger issue imo is buying a drive that old and having only a 90 day warranty. The 10TB drive I purchased came with a 5yr warranty.

@Smash @Limonene Right, it *was* proprietary. Which is why adoption of it by free software devs is so slow. Ubuntu only got dotnet packages in the past few years! (RIP @vorlon )

@sxan @shortrounddev jmp.chat uses XMPP, and it's a very viable replacement for Google Voice (and generic SIP options like voip.ms), so that's what got me back on the XMPP train. No one else other than my family is using it with me, though, but it's still nice to have SMS, (encrypted & decentralized) family chat, and IRC (via biboumi bridge) in one desktop client.

@WhyJiffie @kratoz29

> is there such a problem? honest question. But I think that might be a different issue

Yes, that is a problem. We're still in a world where you need to manually enable port forwarding in order to get better seeding for bittorrent clients, and if you have CGNAT you're SOL (short of using a VPN or something to bounce through an external host).

It's likely because torrent software is older (& in crappier languages), and came about before CGNAT was a thing.

@mesamunefire @cm0002 Voice + Syncthing-fork is what I use. It syncs between an audiobook directory on my laptop and my phone.
