  • We host a small Matrix-server. The server is for 4 people but barely uses the 2 cores 4GB RAM.

    Storage is mostly media, but stayed under 100GB in about 3 years.

    We also host a web frontend and use Schildichat as app, but Element X could be better nowadays. Both also have a desktop client.

    A big plus are all the bridges. My girlfriend uses WhatsApp, no problemo, there is a bridge for that. That one club only has a signal group? Use the bridge.
    One of us uses Fb-Messenger via a bridge. Telegram also works and there are lots more.

    The server is also low maintenance. It’s an ansible playbook, that I irregularly run.
    It takes around an hour twice a year due to changes in the playbook.

    Also matrix is feature rich beyond your requests. I don’t know much about the others, but matrix had emoji-reactions before WhatsApp and has threads inside of chatrooms and spaces which are collections of chats for common topics.
    Also polls, sharing current/live location (not bridged to WA), voice messages and stickers.









  • That’s because they don’t have to let you do that and mostly it’s counterproductive to let you do that.

    A prime example for a cookie with “legitimate interest” is a session cookie. Your shopping cart or even staying logged in wouldn’t work without it, so it’s not a good idea to even give the user the choice.

    Legitimate basically means “needed for the function of what you’re trying to do on that website”, so ads are not it, but session cookies are. Everything in between is up for debate. (Usage tracking etc.)
