Yep, I have it. Somehow it was turned off for my account in particular at some point and there's no way I can find to get it back.

I'm also a Matrix convert. Tried getting Conversations + Prosody running for me and my wife but just couldn't get it to work properly. XMPP has so many XEPs (like MAM - XEP-0313) that you need to get things working nicely and ther

I tried Conversations but I couldn't for the life of me get message history to work. There's just so much stuff you have to do when it comes to XMPP to get things working. Perhaps if I used someone else's server it wouldn&#x2

Disk is at least ~$0.023/GB. Whether it's "cheap" or not depends on how much of it you need. Plus, disk may be cheap but servers to house it are not (the kind of servers you'd run in your house, I know you can get c

I strongly disagree. If I have an 8 disk server at home with mirroring, the pool could only take a single disk failure. The usable space would be 50% of the total disk. Further, I'd have to buy any extra disks in pairs. If instead I ra

Maybe this is an American thing. In Australia and Europe I don't think I've ever heard someone say something like this. I've heard people complain about being homesick or tired if it's a particularly long or active holid

Just because you didn't mention it, Matrix https://matrix.org/ is another option. It supports federation, services (like IRC bridges), encryption, push notifications, offline storage and has some really nice clients fo

The proxy is outside your ISP. The connection between you and your proxy is secure, so your ISP cannot gain anything useful from it.

Minio is basically a local implementation of the S3 API so you can access your stuff remotely and integrate with S3 compatible services using it.

I say this most times I see you advertising and I'll say it again: You really need to work on your pricing to be competitive with things like this. Even with the HN discount your service is expensive and even with the Borg/Attic p

For the record I'm aware of people with 10s of TB in Amazon Cloud Drive without any issues. It is of course yet to be seen whether they'll pull a Microsoft and take it back.

The OPO screen is 5.5", which is well into phablet territory (the original Galaxy Note, which was "huge", was only 5.3").

I'd argue that you should simply sandbox it. If performance is an issue, throw it in a VM or container with a simple socat + fork + TCP-LISTEN on a socket and pipe data in/out over TCP.

It all sounds good but it has a 5.7" screen, which kills it for me. It must be super hard to build a good, small phone or something.
