@Dust0741 Check out jmp.chat (i can provide a referral code if you'd like a free trial). Your number would be ported there, and then SMS would go over XMPP/jabber to any device with a client running. Your phone can stay home, and you'd get SMS messages on your laptop or whatever device you've taken with you.

@iii @KarnaSubarna Looks like syncthing-fork already updated to 2.0: https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/releases

It's not in f-droid yet, though.

@Passerby6497 np! Any usb-powered PC fan will do, btw. I also have some Arctic fans that I like even better, but for the minipc I'm using an AC Infinity because that's what I had handy.

@Passerby6497 @curbstickle I have a Minisforum hm90 that tried to cook the nvme (it triggered a smart error before actually frying, thankfully). Since the m2 slot is on the bottom near some vents, I just put the minipc on top of an AC Infinity usb fan (I forget if P12 or P14 - use whatever fits your minipc best) that blows up into the case and over the nvme.

@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.

[–] Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

@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.
