  • big list of selfhosted chat apps to meet all your friends on a real "server"

    Jump

  • You're right, I was wrong about signal using MLS. I recall reading it somewhere but can't find the source now.

    As for my response, it was about forward secrecy which they do claim to have now. Yeah I wouldn't rely on matrix E2EE right now, and until its been seriously audited and replaced with something security experts agree on.

    For a discord replacement (with public not E2EE rooms) it seems to be the best replacement just because that's where communities are right now. XMPP+OMEMO is not that interesting to me because I don't know of any communities that are on there or other users to be a Discord replacement and its E2EE story is not as good as Signal to be a Signal replacement.

    For a signal replacement I'm not sure SimpleX or Briar are there yet. SimpleX doesn't have multi device support last time I checked which is annoying if you're used to useing signal on your phone + desktop. Any Briar doesn't work on IOS, so if you chat with anyone who has an iphone they are SOL.

  • Does matrix have forward secrery now since the switch to MLS? (I.E. the same encryption scheme Singal uses) https://matrix.org/blog/2025/06/dispelling-myths/

    They still have a large metadata leak that to my understanding can't be fixed until they introduce stuff like pseudo anonymous user handles and room handles.

  • Why is self-hosted voice chat so hard?

    Jump

  • Not a good discord replacement but setting up nextcloud talk (simple p2p voice chat) and then the high performance backend (better supports video/voice calls between 3+ people) was relatively easy. We use it among my family now to have group calls instead of relying on facebook messenger.

  • If you use the AIO it comes with the high performance backend already set up afaik.

    I run nextcloud using the official release without the docket AIO image, but you can just run the high performance backend from docker. This is what I do on my nextcloud server. https://arnowelzel.de/en/nextcloud-talk-high-performance-backend-with-docker

    It's pretty straightforward, just run docker container, if you use a reverse proxy much sure the signaling server is properly configured on the reverse proxy and then modify the next cloud settings to point to the self hosted HPB.

  • Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app?

    Jump

  • If OP wants voice and video chat like they say they'd have to host synapse and use element afaik.i don't think any of the other home servers support matrix calling. Cinny and fluffychat don't support voice or video calls. Fluffychat has it as an "option" but it's currently broken last time I tried it. Schildi chat might work for voice and video since it's an element fork. I've not tried it so I don't know for sure.

  • Do you know if there is a more up to date description of xmpp e2ee without having to read the spec. Specifically interested in stuff like how much metadata is leaked.

  • Any way to make nextcloud more like Google Photos? (Solved!)

    Jump

  • Was this images that were auto uploading from a mobile phone? I think the bug was a permission issue in Android, if you don't grant location access it can't get any of the meta data of the photo (iirc).

  • Why is Debian always left out of the distro recommendations?

    Jump

  • you're probably right as to why.

    I'll note that on my gaming desktop I decided to try out Debian instead of my usual choice of Fedora and its worked fine for gaming with latest gen CPU and GPU. I did install the steam flatpak which will have a newer version of Mesa. I think this is a good middle ground for a system you don't want to mess with too much.

  • Pierre Poilievre wins leadership review with 87.4% approval

    Jump

  • The 2022 election was an actual leadership election. This was just a leadership review. People who did vote weren't voting for a new leader. They were voting on if they still think PP should be leader. There wasn't candidates to vote for. It was a yes or no question. If he lost this election there would be a leadership election similar to the 2022 one you reference. The 2022 election was triggered by the previous leader stepping down just like the NDP leadership election has been triggered by Jagmeet stepping down.

    I do think the system is a bit strange that they have a leadership review and it's handled by delagtes who only get picked if they are voted in at meetings in the different electoral districts. Makes it easy to stay in as leader if you can convince the right people to come.

    But again what I said before stands. If the NDP did a leadership review at a convention they could do the same thing as the conversatives here cause the constitution allows for it.

  • Pierre Poilievre wins leadership review with 87.4% approval

    Jump

  • Is this true? I can't find a source about only delegates being allowed to vote. An ex-conversative friend of mine was saying that they usually send the ballots out by mail to any member in good standing.

    Edit: doing more reading I don't think its 100% fair to compare this to NDP election. This was a leadership review not a leadership election. If PP lost this then a leadership election would happen that works basically the same as NDP leadership election in terms of who's allowed to vote. Second the NDP has similar rules about delegates to NDP conventions as far as I can tell. You can read both their constitutions here

  • Seems interesting, some problems I see. The author seems to have forgotten that not everywhere has surnames and some places have multiple surnames. Would have been better to just have a "name field". Would make this more universal.

  • I think he's just a capitalist banker with agenda to push capitalist friendly policies but in the context of how he compares it to rules based order (a potentially good thing) I don't think this is what he meant. He says we pretend we have rules based order because it was a good thing even though we know at heart that strong powers can act outside the rules. The shop owners pretend the workers are united (a good thing) even though they know the government is corrupt and does not support the workers.

  • Questions about multi-seat

    Jump

  • The idea would be two monitors, keyboard, and mice connected to one PC so two people could play games on the same beefy computer at the same time. To avoid issues with steam detecting another instance running, it would be great if the two users were isolated from each other in some way. Also ideally avoiding the need to purchase a second beefy GPU. So PCI-passthrough is out, as you're giving exclusive access to the GPU in the VM (some GPU support virtualization, but my 9070 xt does not). My understanding is that multi-seat as described here for systemd https://wiki.debian.org/Multi_Seat_Debian_HOWTO should be able to do this as you can have two user logged in at the same time, but this require each seat to have its own dedicated GPU for display. The docs from debian seem to suggest the DRI_PRIME may still work to use the other GPU. I am curious if anyone has tried this before and knows if it works I go around buying a cheap secondary GPU.

    VNC seems like an interesting idea, I wonder what the latency would be like for

  • How do you do it with x? I would be interested in looking at this.

    I think in theory it could be done in Wayland if a compositor implements multi-seat support. There is a fork of wlroots & labwc in this repo that seems like it's trying to do that https://github.com/garlett/multiseat

  • Just had this recommended the video of the presentation recommended to me in my youtube feed this morning. Cory brings up a lot of good ideas in his presentation. Countries like Canada and the member states of the EU should really look at removing laws forced upon them by US free trade agreements. Free trade with the US is gone so why should we keep laws like copyright anti circumvention.

    I really hope this idea takes hold a countries start selling that a future without the US as a superpower is inevitable. We can't rely on the US or US business for any of our critical infrastructure.
