Please fellow vegan sisters and brothers lend me you hand....

I love indian food so fucking much. One might even consider it a problem. Not me.

Ever since this phenomenon has blessed my taste buds I have never been the same. Am I truly who I thought I was? Am I truly human?

For you see fellow Lemmyheads when I am graced with a buffet full of these exquisite succlent dishes I cannot contain the beast within. I. Must. Gorge.

Somosas? Gone I ate them when you weren't looking, korma? You must have accidentally thrown it in the bin... Aka my mouth, naan? The dog must have got it.... Woof woof....

Sorry almost lost myself there for a bit. The point being, I fucking love this shit. However I can never get it to taste like restaurant style indian food, especially vegan style. I have been vegan for about 2 and a half years, and still have not mastered this art. It's always just a sad attempt at glory.

So I ask you... Please bless me with your sacred texts.... Your knowledge.... The bay leaf that you know the flavor it adds but I am clueless....

How the hell do I make that good shit? How do I make it bussin?

(Bonus points:

• for anyone who can give me tips on how to get soy curls to taste like chicken.

• your best recipes for vegan chicken coconut korma, butter chicken, samosas, naan, vegetable kurma. These are some of my favorites )

Thank you for your time.... May the odds be ever in my favor...

I have no idea why this is happening on my arch linux machine. I was trying to set it up as a client device, and now i have no internet connection on my wired network. This is bare metal not docker. I just wanted to add the device to my tailnet.

Any help is appreciated

Thank you for your time.

EDIT: I have completely uninstalled tailscale yet I still do not have internet access. I am connected to the network fine. If i cinnect through wifi it is the same result.

EDIT 2: the error I am recieving is limited connectivity.

There will be spoilers! So if you don't want that would you kindly turn away from this post now :)

What a ride! I will admit that my emotions did not stay steady throughout the game.

I started and found nothing remarkable about the gameplay. Which was a real head scratcher for me because I swear I recall people loving the gameplay. So much so whenever I would see new shooters coming out (Atomic Heart is the only one I can think of off the top of my head right now) everyone would say "that looks like Bioshock, and I am now excited". Maybe it's one of those scenarios where you had to be there when it released, and nothing like it was out at the time. I had also gone in with the expectation that it was a horror game. Thematically, yes there is some horror to Behold. However, I was never scared. Nothing made me clench my cheeks in fear of the chase. With the big daddies I moreso found them incredibly annoying. Getting slammed into a wall at mach speed loses it's charm pretty quickly (oh and same with the whale noises, fucking ear grating after a while). BioShock not being scary was probably the biggest letdown for me.

What completely enveloped me though was the setting and story. Holy shit is Rapture a beauty to behold even 18 years later. There were moments where I would just stare out the glass and look for a few minutes. I don't think I have ever played a game in a setting quite like this. The game still holds up really well in the graphics department.

Where the game really picked up for me was the Cohen section. I had fun making his little art project with him then killing him after he told me to leave. That is also when the story started really picking up for me. I'll be honest the intro kind of made me roll my eyes with Atlas begging me for help. I don't really care for "stranger shows up to shit being fucked up, locals act as if said stranger is a force to be reckoned with even when they are just an average Joe" setup for a plotline.

What really kept me going was one specific character, Andrew Ryan. This fucking dude, I have seen well written villains/characters. Holy shit though does Ryan take the cake. I was absolutely infatuated with everything he had to say. He is a god damn libertarian monster, but holy fuck he feels like a villain that is insanely stupid but also insanely intelligent at the same time. Anytime Ryan was speaking I stopped immediatley what I was doing just to hone in on his crazy ideological ramblings. Certain quotes of his displayed throughout rapture have been eating at my brain. "No gods or kings, only man" Specifically. At face value seems like a good quote! However if you really think about it, it signals the only accountability we face is with each other. Which is also later reflected when Ryan talks about him only caring about him and you only caring about you "such is nature". The voice actor fucking nailed this role as well. God. DAMN. He just felt so well crafted and thought out. How fun it must have been to write such a character.

Now the least surprising to me was Fontaine. I really enjoyed hearing the Fontaine uprising through the eyes of Rapture people wanting a better life that Ryan did not care on providing. Yet Fontaine saw opportunity with the desperate. It fundamentally shows why such an ideology is completely unsustainable. "Fontaine fellow… he's a crook… but he's got the ADAM, and that makes him the guv'nor." "Money" talks in this society. I did see Atlas being evil from a mile away, heck I think I even internally said once "is he Fontaine?" But never really was invested in him all that much to care. I cared about Fontaine before I 100% knew he was Atlas. After the facade was gone I kinda lost the will to care.

The end boss is a joke especially compared to absolute turret onslaught around every corner in this game. Seriously. Fuck. Turrets.

Overall great story that I personally felt was held back just a little by some game design choices.

I have no idea what is going on my push notifications on my server and why they are so inconsistent. Sometimes they will make it through and sometimes they won't. Messages seem to work fine however anything to do with calling and video calling notifications just does not want to work.

Sometimes the notification for calls will come through but most of the time it just doesn't want to function.

I have looked in my Docker container logs and there is nothing indicating an error. It all seems to be working, even troubleshooting notifications in the Element client and Element X client. The tests pass with flying colors.

It feels as if my Element clients are not running in the background and completely shutdown. Anytime I re-open the app it looks as if it is opening for the first time.

The only thing I could possibly think is causing the issue is I may not have setup cloudflare tunnels properly. I don't know what would be causing ntfy or matrix to not play nice.

I am running my server on Ubuntu 20.04 with Docker and CasaOS. I am using Cloudflare Tunnels for my Matrix and ntfy containers. The logs for all the containers show nothing abnormal. The issue is appearing on 2 Google Pixel 8 devices that are running GrapheneOS. All the proper settings for the ntfy app and element have been configured (unrestricted battery, notification vibration and sound, etc.) It seems that calls go through fine if the app remains open. I also have a digital ocean vps for my coturn server.

This is what my element app looks like whenever I open it again. Maybe I interpret the loading screen wrong but to me it looks like it's doing "first time startup" type actions. This doesn't make sense though because both client devices are recieving text notifications.

I also found this github issue that seems to be exactly the issue I am facing (except they are having issues with messages as well it seems, when messages is the only notification that works consistently for me). However I don't know if some of the proposed solutions are only applicable to Synapse and not Dendrite.

https://github.com/element-hq/element-android/issues/7069

Thank you all for your time and help!

Edit: some more github issues referencing my issue. These seem more specific as well:

https://github.com/element-hq/element-android/issues/8761

https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/issues/3031

I do not know if this value will work in my Dendrite config:

ip_range_whitelist:

Edit 2: I created a throwaway matrix account and nltifications through my ntfy server worked flawlessly. Which makes me think my issue must be with my co turn server on my vps. Forgot to mention my vps, I have updated the post with this info. Going to try and see if this is the issue.

Edit 3: I think my coturn is fine nothing in its logs really stands put to me as broken. It has to be dendrite or something else. Possibly cloudflare, but I don't know what would be the issue.

Edit 4: I think my push notifications are fixed more the most part. I just messed around with coturn and cannot tell what fixed it. They work perfectly as long as the phone is unlocked. The moment the phone is locked no call Notifications come through. However if you unlock the phone when someone is calling then the notification will come through. This is starting to become really strange. I have checked all of my GrapheneOS settings for both element and ntfy and still no dice.

Edit 5: Nvm notifications are still messed up. I think it is ntfy, when I went to the topic url in my browser and stsrted a call even ntfy didn't get it. So either it is ntfy being broken and not properly recieving data from dendrite. Or dendrite is not properly sending data to ntfy. This could all be because I have not configured the cloudflare tunnel properly as well. During all of this, searching for users in my server has completly broken. It comes up with an error message anytime you try to search for someone. This is more evidence for dendrite falling apart, but how and where I do not know.

Part of me is starting to wondering if it would be worth it to flock to conduwuit. That could fix my notification issues potentially, plus it is actively being worked on. My issue was that it did not support sliding sync in order to get element call working. However what I did not expect through all of this was having jitsi calling suddenly working on element with dendrite. This would solve a lot of headaches possibly because at this point I really don't care if it's through jitsi. The only reason I pursued this is because I thought the only way to do mobile group calling was through element call. Which required element x, which in turn requires sliding sync. I just do not know what I did to get jitsi working with dendrite this time around.

For now I will keep fiddling with dendrite but I may pursue conduwuit if this keeps up.

Edit 6: Conduwuit for the win! Notifications work right out of the box! Sliding sync works out if the box! Jitsi works out of the box! And it is way less resource intensive! It was so simple to setup too! It is also actively being worked on! Highly recommend instead of dendrite! All around just a much better experience.

For some reason my push Notification are not working properly even with my ntfy server. I will miss calls from people because it doesn't seem like my clients are running in the background on my pixel. I have the battery access set to unrestricted. I do not know why the clients don't run in the background to notify me.

It seems they only really notify me if I keep the client open.

I am using a google pixel 8 running grapheneos. The clients I have tried are: schildichat and element.

I have also tried it on my fiance's google pixel 8 running grapheneos and the same issue appears.

I am running both my ntfy server and matrix server on docker on a ubuntu 20.04 machine with casaos. I use cloudflare tunnels to forward my services.

When troubleshooting notifications it passes all the tests on both element and schildichat. however on element x and schildi next I get an error failed to check gateway and push back loop. (which both element x and schildi next functioning 100% for me yet. See other posts)

Any help is appreciated!

Edit: it seems to be a problem with ntfy. Checking the container logs I found this:

INFO Connection closed with HTTP 500 (ntfy error 50003) (error=internal server error: base-url must be be configured for this feature, error_code=50003, http_method=GET, http_path=/_matrix/push/v1/notify, http_status=500, tag=http, visitor_auth_limiter_limit=0.016666666666666666, visitor_auth_limiter_tokens=30, visitor_id=ip:example, visitor_ip=example, visitor_messages=43, visitor_messages_limit=17280, visitor_messages_remaining=17237, visitor_request_limiter_limit=0.2, visitor_request_limiter_tokens=60, visitor_seen=2025-02-06T09:19:26.984Z)

Edit 2: i seemed to have fixed that error by reinstalling ntfy and creating a config file with the base url. However I am still not recieving push notifications. Element still crashes/closes and stops running in the background. I have no idea how to fix this. I have seen mentions of 'ip_range_whitelist' variables not being set properly. However all the documentation that relates to that variable is only for synapse. I do not know if that same variable is applicable to dendrite. I cannot see it listed in the config file.

Hello everyone!

After searching and searching for a solution for my issue I think I may have stumbled upon something. I have been trying to get my matrix server up and running so that I can move on to the next project.

The issue I was running into was mobile element Client users could not join group calls. Mobile Element users need to use Element X, however Element X users cannot join my Dendrite server because I do not have sliding sync proxy set up.

I have heard that synapse has sliding sync already enabled but I have not been able to tackle synapse. Dendrite has just worked out of the box for me besides this one issue.

Originally when I was tackling the issue of sliding sync I had read somewhere that it was not compatible with dendrite. So that had crushed my hopes and dreams of using dendrite and I hadn't looked back ever since.... Until now.

I went to the official matrix sliding sync github page and wouldn't you know it, there is a note that says:

NOTE: The proxy works fine with Dendrite and Synapse, but it doesn't work well with Conduit due to spec violations in the state of a room in /sync. Running the proxy with Conduit will cause more expired connections (HTTP 400s) when room state changes, and log lines like WRN Accumulator.filterToNewTimelineEvents: seen the same event ID twice, ignoring.

So now I am trying to set this up with my current matrix dendrite docker image. However I don't really understand how to follow this guide to make it talk to my pre existing containers.

Thank you all for your time!

My system software:

Ubuntu 20.04 with CasaOS and docker

The guide and documentation I followed for setting up matrix dendrite:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFDFR6EBG3k

https://wiki.opensourceisawesome.com/books/setup-matrix-chat/page/install-matrix-using-the-dendrite-server_

Official sliding sync documentation that I am trying to setup:

https://github.com/matrix-org/sliding-sync

Edit: I was able to get sliding sync to work using the compose file that samsy provided below! I then added the sliding sync container to the dendrite network and now I can sign in with element x and achildichat next with no "this server doesn't support sliding sync" error!

However now these clients do not show my chats, the clients can create rooms however when backing out I still get an empty chat page for some reason.

Edit 2: I have gotten sliding sync working with dendrite! My compose url environment variable was pointing to my sliding sync url and not my matrix server url! Thank you everyone!!

I have been trying to get rid of my windows dualboot and fully jump in board to linux.

However after playing vr on both opersting systems, I have had the clearest and jaw dropping visuals on windows with virtual desktop vs arch with ALVR. That isn't to say my alvr experience is bad by any means! Performance wise it is identical. It's just that there is a noticeable difference in visual quality. The main game I have been testing is alyx, the texture wuality seems lower no matter the setting (I tried changing it on windows to the same quality and it didn't seem to be game settings.)

Is it possible to change alvr seytings so that the difference between it and virtual desktop are unnoticeable, or is ALVR just not there yet and only time will tell? Have any of you gotten it there?

Specs:

Nvidia 3070 Ryzen 7 3700x 48gb of ddr4 3200 ram

Quest 3 is the main headset I use

Thank you for your time!

I am running ubuntu with casa os. I was previously running an intel apu (the name has slipped me I will update the post when I can with this info). Recently I got a 1650 that I installed for nvenc transcoding. It seems all the proper drivers are installed but my jellyfin container still fails playback anytime with it turned on.

I have reinstalled the container with the nvidia device variable and no dice. I have also tried installing the nvidia cintainer toolkit but that didn't work either. I am at a loss for trying to get nvenc to work.

Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: here is the ffmpeg log file

https://gofile.io/d/9nsBFq

I have been spending the holidays with my wife's family. All of them are die hard trump supporters. This town they live in, are all die hard trump supporters.

We went out to a restaurant with my wife's parents and their friends. When it came time to pay their friends whipped out their cards and showed the table. Each card had a sticker delicately placed, the content of the stickers were of donald trump in many different contexts. Djt as a dollar bill, djt wearing a fake mustache at his mugshot, djt assasination attempt, etc. I was absolutely appalled. Then the waiter came over and I was expecting to see him perturbed as well. Nope. He wanted one and asked if they had anymore. They then gave him one and helped him put it on. In the middle of his shift.

Obviously trump is fucking disgusting in more ways than one. What baffles me is how you can flagrantly carry around a proven rapist in your wallet when you are a woman, not just a woman but a woman of color. Which the friend waving this dipshit around and making the stickers is.

I mean this man has literally talked about immigrants "poisoning the blood of this nation". These are actual fucking people he talks about and demonizes. People with families, lives, and friends. All that care just gets thrown out the window with these people.

I hate living in trump country, because I feel like I am losing my mind when everyone around me is flaunting him like their own son who graduated as validictorian. As if these people are part of his club. When he is one of the most disgusting individuals I have had the displeasure of hearing about for over 8 years going on 12 now. How can you be so ignorant? Every passing day in this state I understand more and more how Hitler gripped the minds of the masses and came into power so easily. People are so fucking stupid.

Please for my sanity, I need to talk to people who know this monster for who he truly is. How do you cope being in a similar situation? How do you speak up?

Ladies and gents it is the final frontier.

I am trying to conquer the matrix docker ansible playbook. So far, because of all the knowledge I have gained setting this damn thing up around 4 times now (conduit, dendrite, synapse with sqlite3, conduwuit) things are going swimmingly.

I would say that except for now when I am running the playbook I keep getting this error:

" fatal: [matrix.example.com]: FAILED! => changed=false msg: |- The matrix_homeserver_generic_secret_key variable must be defined and have a non-null and non-empty value.

If you're observing this error on a new installation, you should ensure that the `matrix_homeserver_generic_secret_key` is defined.
If you think you've defined it, but are still getting this error, then it's likely that you have a typo
in your domain name in `inventory/hosts` or in one of the directories leading up to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file.

If you're observing this error on an existing homeserver installation, you can fix it easily and in a backward-compatible way by adding
`matrix_homeserver_generic_secret_key: "{{ matrix_synapse_macaroon_secret_key }}"`
to your `vars.yml` file. Using another secret value for the new variable is also possible and shouldn't cause any trouble.  "

The thing is I do have a secret key and from what I can also tell is the folder structure is also correct.

I mean hell i even changed it back to "matrix.example.com" just for shits and giggles and still nothing.

I have tried putting the playbook in my home directory I even tried the instructions for an existing homeserver and it still pops up.

I am losing my mind!

This is the guide I am following:

https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/master/docs/quick-start.md

My server is running ubuntu 20.04 and my machine I am running ansible on is running arch.

As always any help is massively appreciated!

EDIT:

These are the file structures I have tried:

I set it up multiple different times in different locations:

/home/inventory/host_vars/matrix.bishbash.com
