I think you're right, but Discord also replaced IRC for a lot of people/communities, and I don't think they all make use of the voice chat feature. It may be there's no perfect alternative for everyone, but we could stil

IRC + Mumble is a good combo in my experience. I only fire up Mumble as-needed since I tend to prefer text chat.

Have you tried Mumble? That's what me and my buddies use. We've been playing Barony lately.

Something I noticed recently is that explaining Matrix to someone is offputting, but I got my dad to just use it and it seems fine for him. Maybe they don't need to know how it works. You start talking federation and stuff and people&#

Waaaaaaay better clients (this is the big one), chat logs that are easier to search through with standard unix tools, avoids issues with OMEMO breaking (which stops people chatting at all, breaking the main usage of the program). Saying thi

It's semantics, really. Run the server executable on any computer in your house. Done. If you don't leave your computer on 24/7, the Mumble server isn't up 24/7. Oh well. If you use it to talk to friends, you'l

It is up to the room admin to upgrade or not, I still have some v1 rooms. Some features like knocking require a newer version, though.

Mumble is similarly old (3 or 4 years newer), and free software unlike the other two (the trick to longevity). Still around and updated. I used it just a couple days ago.

IRC + Mumble.

IRC for main chat, Mumble for voice chat when gaming. Been solid for decades. I have at least 3 functional Mumble servers saved (including my own) in my client, most of them are associated with an IRC community. I occasionally hear "An

I would recommend using Nheko instead, and not registering on the overloaded flagship server. I have an old matrix.org account as a backup but I try to use smaller servers mostly.

>Is there a recommended or "blessed" server and client Not sure about servers, but for clients there's Gajim, Dino, and Conversations. Not much else is super relevant these days. Profanity exists but is significantly worse

Gajim works on Windows and is the best non-mobile client.

This may be a good time to consider whether one program should really be handling all those things, or if it's putting too many eggs in one basket and asking too much of any one program. Discord seems comparable to a Chinese superapp,

Perhaps related to the caste system. Not sure how relevant that still is these days.

If the alternative is pretending to be a 360 controller or Switch controller with limited features in either mode, as most controllers do, then I much prefer this. I'll second that I hope something like sc-controller can support it, th

This is true, but only half the equation. Nothing Phone 1 took ages to get LineageOS support and the already-supported OnePlus 8T had similar specs. Though if OnePlus pisses everyone off, maybe Nothing will take their place and get more LOS

Ah, I believe Greenclip has that feature. Personally I hate when people copy/paste images as it often results in bad filenames like "image.jpg" (as in literally the word image) and then requires me to rename them when saving

The thought crossed my mind as well. Lots of typos, plus "old version compromised, use new version ASAP" could also be said to get people on a newly compromised version, right? Though it's probably just that the post author

I agree this is probably not the place to list alternatives, but listing them elsewhere (top level comment?) in this thread would probably be good.

Perhaps because internet speeds have been under 1gbps most places until recently and the average person doesn't care about file transfers over LAN.

Outsider perspective here (never used Time Machine), but my first thought is that rsync works amazingly both local and over the network. Can't imagine why it being over the network would be a problem. If it can resume a partial transfe

Quantum Fiber provides 8gbps, so it's not unheard of.

They consistently have allowed bootloader unlocking without extra fuss and have had good LineageOS support. That is their main appeal, IMO. Nothing phones had no LineageOS support until recently (spacewar is now supported, unsure about othe

You can jump to line numbers without them being relative. Enter the line number and hit G or gg. Out of the box behavior, and you don't need to obscure the real line numbers that way.

You could do a video on selfhosting one of the free software chat solutions like IRC, XMPP, or Matrix, then move your community there as a way of showing real-world usage. You could then do some update videos later on how performance and ma
