Exactly. As an european, I’m seriosly concerned that the mighiest (firepower-wise) country in the world is mimicking the steps that happened in Germany back in the days. edit: as in, descendin to fascism, via public vote.

That’s well said!

Yup indeed, it wasn’t a pleasant experience. Self-hosting Matrix with all its bridges is kinda nice tho (although a bit lacking).

I actually tried pidgin maybe 6 months ago just for kicks if it could handle whatsapp, signal and telegram, and whaddaya know, it could. It was ugly as hell, but it could be done.

But I’m not saying that. I’m saying that a two-party system is stupid. And I’m saying that as a citizen of a country that has 9 political parties. edit: to make it clear, if I’d be an American, I’d definitely vote for Dems, no question about it.

Exactly. Two party system is a scam.

Why are they trying, and not doing tho?

No they wouldn’t. If they did, the uproar would be massive. Or maybe not, idk, I’m not a yankee.

I saved this! Yeah, it seems like a lot of work, but I got inspired again (I had a slight self-hosting burnout and nuked my raspberry setup ~year ago) so I appreciate it. :) Can I ask what hardware you run this on? edit: I just wanted to ramble some more: I just fired up my rPI4 again just last week, setup it with just as barebone VPS with wireguard, samba, jellyfin and pi-hole+unbound (as to not burn myself again :D )

We’ve had Debian on some machines, and while it’s stable, packages tend to be too old for some operations. Maybe Sid…

Any sysadmins here to suggest an alternative server distro? We’ve been installing Ubuntu in most of our VMs at our company, and while I realize it’s a hassle to switch them all, I kinda want to at least have a discussion about it.

Made me laugh, very nice :D
