yes it does, and it works as well as discord, it’s just in beta and not supported everywhere yet

Fair enough

Did you release the code publicly?

New desktop isn’t electron, and of course it’ll need your email, it’s a chat app.

But the real cool thing is that it’s a matrix client (that federates!) and all the bridges are open source, the company maintains most all of the bridges to corporate chat platforms.

tbf a lot of people here don’t know how to code, or even where to start if they do

a warm fuzzy feeling :D

But seriously it gets you nothing, they’re doing the winrar model

/c/whooosh

i was going to say the better curation tools, but then i realized it’s definitely the clients for me, having the freedom to choose exactly how i want my experience to be is so amazing, and clients like photon just trounce stuff like reddit’s ui.

you seem pretty on track, and being broke i haven’t looked at the expensive stuff you’re considering, so i can’t give you any value tips.

However, i would like to point out that if you’re just going to be hosting minecraft game servers crafty controller is a much easier to setup&use tool than pterodactyl

looks like the total power draw of an n100 mini pc is 8-27 watts total, while the pi is 4-9 watts but it has a faster cpu, better video decode, vastly better gpu and better compatibility, being x86.

Ultimately the decision is up to you, but i think that outwheighs the higher power costs.

as i see it you can get an n100 mini pc with a 6w tdp for as much as a 8-16gb rasberry pi 5 kit

you can just run another one, currently nobody does but if the main relay gets bought out, the community can band together to run one, it’s a couple hundred bucks a month, expensive, but not unsustainable.

they didn’t do it that way for no reason though, and they did do some stuff to alleviate the problems it causes.

• it allows for better discoverability, no missing comments in threads, good global search, ect. Basically solves most all of the papercuts the fediverse has.
• there isn’t a “server” you host, per se. There are 3 components, the appview (ui, self-explanatory) and decides how your algorithm is, the relay (hard to run, does the federation and outputs everything it sees as a “firehose”) and the pds (personal data server), which hosts account data and is the “home” for your account. I host my own pds, and you can migrate your account between pds’s. The only hard part to run is the relay.

also everything bluesky is open source

yeah, and mine about ripping dvd’s on a server, if that broke the rules wouldnt this do that more?

You could install android on something, and run one of the open source TV launchers

Yup! And you can just do eject in the terminal to open the disk tray

Are you still hosting it? Have they realised?

that’s insane, i pay like 5¢ a KWh

Thank you for immich! I use it every day.

And thank you for posting on lemmy
