@crony AFAIK https://github.com/go-acme/lego is quite good.
@maxprime
This is so full of awesomeness :D
@nayminlwin
@beaumains @greenskye the problem is, with a broken window it's pretty obvious that something happened. And for example you can point that out to insurance people. With a digital lock, that has been opened and then locked again without your knowledge, not so much.
@pezhore With Matrix, depending a bit on channel settings, your account joins the room and gets either all history or starting from the point of joining. And your account is in the channel. Regardless of what clients you use, and how many of them you use, and whether they're online at the time or not, it's your server keeping track of what's going on in the channel, and keeping history of it, so you have one presence and same view regardless of type and count and connectivity of clients. [3/3]
@pezhore XMPP and IRC (to my knowledge, which very well may be outdated) are quite similar - you join a room from a client, you get a nickname, maybe a few lines of history, you chat, you close your client or lose connectivity, you don't know anymore what's happening there. You want to join from another client, that's a separate session, with a different presence and name on the channel. Your clients don't share history etc. [2/n]
@pezhore The confusion is somewhat warranted, since matrix.org is the main/largest instance of Matrix the protocol, using Synapse the server, and having web access via Element the client.
For just text chat, anything will do. Matrix has the bonus of having a liberachat gateway, though it's had issues recently.
But, the experience is somewhat different. [1/n]
@pezhore @u_tamtam Your question may require a bit of specifying. Discord is a product and a platform. XMPP and Matrix are protocols. So, uh, it's a bit like asking whether there are any SMTP or IMAP alternatives to Google Groups? There are *many* servers and clients and supporting bots and libraries that do many things. What specific things are you interested in, to narrow it down somewhat?
@u_tamtam @pezhore It's not like XMPP doesn't have issues. Finding a combination of clients and servers to get a coverage of the XEPs you want is quite an exercise. MUCs are painful, especially if you want to join from multiple clients. Cross-device trust between accounts for E2EE AFAIK still requires each device to trust all the other devices manually. Matrix has many more multimedia features.
@cassetti @alyaza @Poggervania @ComradeKhoumrag @GunnarRunnar if you use a unique identifier more than **once**, there's possibility to correlate information and tie to a person. Even once you could use timestamps and other information to tie it to a person.
And, in relation to government, there isn't much benefit to using blockchain that couldn't be solved using other technologies.
@Byter allowing illegal stuff *and* taking money doesn't bode that well for their longevity.
@Byter
DDG claims 13.5k existing bangs, and here's a form to add a new one https://duckduckgo.com/newbang
@SoftestVoid
@cassetti
That's risky, because the way you say it, I can check how you voted on things, and come have a serious discussion about your choices.
Much more interesting are technologies that allow to prove something, without divulging the details.
... Though again, those don't require blockchain
@alyaza @Poggervania @ComradeKhoumrag @GunnarRunnar
@eltimablo @throws_lemy @xilliah @rastilin what it removes from bing: tracking, and personalized results. I believe it also adds the bang search, which few if any other places have.
@pranz @homeassistant@lemmy.world @homeassistant@fosstodon.org indeed they seem not bad, thank you!
@ikkeT @homeassistant@lemmy.world @homeassistant@fosstodon.org I currently have an old android phone with "IP Webcam" installed, but I'm running out of old phones 😅 And figuring out how to put a proper computer in that space to be able to use a webcam (which I probably would also need to get...) sounds like a hassle 😅
Would anyone recomment an IP #camera that will work purely locally, with no cloud etc connections, available in EU (PL)? Most likely will be inside, though ones able to survive outdoors are appreciated as well. Ideally to be connected with #HomeAssistant and/or #Frigate (once I get around to setting that up 😅 ) #HomeAutomation @homeassistant@lemmy.world @homeassistant@fosstodon.org
@smileyhead There are social and technical issues. Discoverability / visibility accross instances is an issue. Jumping on people that they use CW wrong is an issue. Moderation is an issue.
In that thread you have how those make minorities consider it too much hassle to be here.
I've talked to an artist for whom those were too much hassle to be here. Both are happy on bluesky apparently.
@barsoap
Both government and corporation, having a choice between having 30k users be reached by them, or having 3M people be reached by them, will choose the latter.
Most likely both government and corporation, having a choice between reaching 300k users and having to spend resources on maintaining an instance, and reaching 300k but not having to maintain an instance, will choose the latter.
@smileyhead
This thread talks about some of the reasons https://mstdn.party/@gwensnyder/111088343873242234
