I’ve been using Matrix/Element for about a year now. I think it’s been great and have no plans on using anything else, I’ve even started donating to the matrix foundation. I self-host a server and using bridge bots I’ve aggregated all my chat services into Matrix, so I talk to my friends on signal using the Element app.

A few notes:

• Nobody I’ve ever met has heard of matrix. I’ve had to very manually convince close friends and family to get the app and help them sign up.
• The restore process is complex as recovery keys are stored on device and most people don’t understand the concept of downloading and saving them in a secure place. So if they lose their phone, chances are they can’t recover their messages, only their account. (as long as they sign in with two devices and don’t forget their password, it’s not an issue)
• Also regarding the restore process. There are two apps, Element and Element X, with X being the newer and more modern one. It’s still WIP though and doesn’t have most recovery functionality.
• Calls and video calls work differently in the apps, so unless you all have the newer app or all have the older app, you can’t make calls to each other.

It’s been a complete mish mash of greatness and tragedies. Not a week goes by without me having a bit of both. Only time I’ve had to boot back into windows was for a bios update that I couldn’t get to work through Linux, but I’ve also had to make a few sacrifices and accept that I can’t have everything good in life on Linux. But the opposite is also true, you can’t have everything good on Windows, so I’m content for now.

Yea it seems the solution to my issue may be too distro hop, but that in of itself already sucks, because then what am I losing in the new distro

Fingers crossed, that’s what I’m hoping for as well. I’m using a valve index so I really expected Steam VR to work out of the box, but hopefully the new headset will work at least.

Hyprland, and it’s been a few months since I last tried so I can’t remember fully, but I believe I found settings to activate it for the monitor but then it simply… didn’t. It simply stayed as SDR.

I’ve followed their guides and I still haven’t managed to get it up and running with steamvr or monado. The one time I got picture in the headset I was in the floor and I haven’t managed to get picture again since.

I haven’t managed to get HDR monitors nor my VR headset to work, and I’ve already spent way more time debugging it in Linux than I ever had to in Windows.

I’ve been following this since release and can only say a big thank you for how active you’ve been on this project! It’s great to see a developer take an active part in feedback and ideas and quickly being able to get them into the project. Keep going strong, and thank you!

According to Wikipedia the shared Swedish/Danish postal service is shared 60%/40% by the Swedish and Danish governments respectively, so im not sure how privatised it is really if it’s completely owned by government.

“The owners of PostNord Group are the state of Sweden (60 percent) and the Ministry of Transport of Denmark (40 percent).” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostNord

Huh, it’s been nearly flawless for me as well. Had it randomly hang once a few months ago but I think that may have been due to a lack of resources for that lxc. Other than that it’s been flawless over multiple apps: Linux, Android (element, schildichat next, fluffy), windows, web. All synced and verified.

Looks like it was resolved about the same time that I posted this :)

The EU introduced a standardised light plug a few years ago. It’s not being installed retroactively in old houses but is required in new houses. I would expect any changes to power plugs would work the same way.

How did I not know this. Thank you!

You saying I can just skip cat in that command and it works?

Combine ctrl+R with fzf and get the best of both worlds

I wish I could but I’m afraid it’s not possible at this address and it’s not something I’m going to move for

I don’t even have an ipv6 address, my ISP doesn’t provide them yet. Not much to do about it then lol.

This is the way. Randomise your usernames and use a password manager to keep track of them.

Thanks for this insight, it swayed me to vote against the proposal. If votes are already semi-public through federation I’d rather it be transparently public than giving the illusion of privacy.

And obviously, encrypted folders can’t be accessed through the file system even with the fuse add on, because that would break the whole point of encryption.

To me, the one big advantage Seafile has is its e2e encryption and encrypted folders, as it allows me to host it externally without allowing access to my files to the server administrator.
