Awesome, thank you. It gets a lot more in-depth than i though, i saw thay you can even use a HAM radio for XMPP xD

Ive been using Signal for a while but always had a thought that i should move away from it. Ive looked into XMPP and had some questions.

Does the provider matter, what one?

Once i join a provider, am i restricted to their groups only, or can i join groups outside it?

Can i private/direct message users without setting up my own private provider?

Im sorry if this is not the place to ask, or if my questions are dumb, im just confused how the whole XMPP thing works since i dont have anyone to test it out. Thank you.

Ente is pretty nice, Their UI's are clean and not bloated much. I don't use their online services though.

Edit: I use Osm since ive been using it for years now, all map's are pretty much forks, either from Osm or something that uses Open Street Map (from my understanding)

Lol very true, Ive been using Mint for maybe 7 years now, Ive tried Arch 3 times or more, broke evey single time ive used it. And that's with me not doing anything out of the ordinary. (No hate to Arch btw, I just can't figure it out)

Thank you, Auth is on there because I had to import a bunch of accounts at once. I use Ente Photos since it's a pretty nice UI, I never use their cloud storage though.

Yeah looking at it I had the same thought. Il look into Threema, thanks!

Thats a good idea, I only use is for accounts that I must have access to, other than that I write them on an encrypted SD card.

 

Yes im aware that my search engine choice is not the best option.

Why does the temperature increase at 40,000m?

 

I roughly know how world maps were created, but detailed local maps of towns and forest's are something I find interesting. What methods were used to scale down in world, to paper distances?
