  • Not sure if that is still in their FAQ, but the Stoat devs previously said that they don't want federation, and if that ever changes they would likely prefer XMPP over Matrix.

  • You mean the multiple millions of VC money and crypto investments? Absolutely.

    The Matrix foundation also would have plenty of money if it wasn't just a front for Element and most funds being siphoned off to pay for services provided by Element.

  • I wonder who made the legal threats. I suspect it was Element (Matrix), as they are the only ones with a possible to confuse trademark in the same business sector ("Riot" the old name of their webclient).

  • @[email protected] already has an XMPP account, as that is included in every slrpnk.net account automatically. It is very easy to set that up for most Fediverse software, and the user id is identical between Fediverse and XMPP.

  • Not automatically, but you can configure it to mirror certain video channels or individual videos. But I have not looked into that too much yet.

    As for storage: a typical video you would find on such a platform with the different stored video resolutions and so on will take between 0.5 and 3 GB... depending on the length and how well it compresses.

  • Finally finished setting up and testing a Peertube instance. The video stuff and object storage related things certainly make it more involved than other fediverse software, but overall it is working quite nicely. Just need to find some workable solution to using GPU acceleration in containers, but I think I mostly figured it out (might work after a server restart, but my sweet, sweet uptime makes me procrastinate on that 😅 ).

  • It is? Where? Please don't say Reddit as that is full of advertisement bots pretending to be regular users.

    I am more surprised by how popular Proxmox seems to be here, which is really just adding a lot of unnecessary complexity, but I guess the GUI comments others here shared applies to it as well.

  • Tablets? Those seem to have really fallen out of fashion and have been replaced with regular smartphones becoming quite a lot bigger.

  • Not anymore, but afaik it is still possible with some not so bad manual work.

  • 1% of the users are responsible for 99% percent of the drama 🤡

  • The longer you wait the more incompatible and harder to migrate it will get.

    While right now the features have not diverged that much, only Forgejo is working on federation and due to license incompatibility it will not be possible to back-port that to Gitea.

  • The person that runs the website it is posted on.

  • First you need to check if your ISP gives you a public IP (can be temporary, if you are fine with using dyndns). Otherwise you will need some tunneling service or run such yourself from a VPS.

  • Ejabberd is definitly for more advanced users, but you can usually get help over at joinjabber.org (which has a webclient that you can use without an xmpp account).

    But yes, Snikket and Prosody is easier to set up.

  • I mean, XMPP is great, but if you are only interested in private chats with your family in a virtual LAN then it (and Matrix) is probably overkill and a bit of a hassle to configure without a public domain (as that is expected for federation).

    Maybe a Nextcloud Talk or a Jitsi Meet instance would be simpler?

  • Unless you have experience with ethernet equipment and such it is probably better to start with some hosted service of an open-source app like Nextcloud or Immich or (slightly more advanced) a VPS somewhere. Doing it immediately from home with your own server has a steep learning curve.

  • Needs Lemmy support 🤷

  • The reverse, i.e. getting outage notifications and so on via xmpp is quite common.

    I can't really think of any usecase to control self-hosted apps from a messenger, but sure, technically you could write such a bot quite easily.
