Calling it now, insider trading (If that wasnt obvious already, look at the market 30 min. before the announcment)

IANAL, but because this was done on a third party encrypted chat app, doesn't it also violate the federal records act or something? If this was any other administration they would have been launched out of a cannon for that alone, not just the breach in security.

A joke:

Its the winter war and a Soviet transport convoy is slowly trudging through Finnish wilderness, and the Soviet commanding officer hears a voice from the woods.

"Hey... I bet one Finnish soldier can beat one Soviet soldier"

The commander confused at the direction the voice is coming from sends a guy into the forest to check it out (Insert the sounds of gunshots and fighting before silence returns).

The voice comes back

"Hey... I bet one Finnish soldier can beat ten Soviet soldiers"

The commander, now irritated, sends a large squad of soldiers to deal with the voice (Insert the sounds of gunshots and fighting before silence returns again).

The voice comes back a third time.

"Hey... I bet one Finnish soldier can beat one hundred Soviet soldiers!"

This time the Soviet commander is entirely done with this shit and tells every soldier in the convoy to get out of their transports and hunt down the voice. The sounds of pitch battle begin again, but after a while one of the Soviet soldiers runs back to the commander shouting "No! Its a trap! There is two of them!".

Question: What do people in this community recommend for self-hosted instant messanger projects? I host a VOIP service for my nerd herd and due to recent events i'm attempting to migrate out groups chats off of the major platforms (Discord, Google chats, Slack, Etc.) as well.

There are a few notes that were requested/requirements.

  • Self-hosted
  • Supports images
  • Has a decent mobile app
  • Encrypted communication
  • Expected load ~25 users.

I am doing my own digging but wanted to hear the communites opinions on some of the projects that came up in searches.

  • IRC/XMPP - dosent really work for the request but is a classic, so I feel had to mention it.
  • Rocket.Chat - seems like the best option so far, but I was having trouble finding current reviews, and its licensing is a bit much.
  • Matrix also is close to checking all the boxes, but it wasnt clear how it works on mobile (Element seemed like the mobile app that was recommended).
  • Revolt was high on the SEO results but most of the discussion around it was about drama with the maintainers (that is what prompted this post, i'm fishing for more current opinions).
  • Zulip seemed similar to Rocket.Chat, but more expensive if we had to get a license.

I appreciate peoples opinions and recomendations on this topic.

The problem is almost never that the wind it blowing, its what the wind is blowing.

Eccentric midwestern home owner has strong opinions about home designs, news at 11. I love his channel, did you see his trilogy about oil lamps?

Come on over, the water is fine. I switched to Pop_OS a few months back for the gaming rig and Proton+Steam works almost flawlessly. Older titles sometimes have hiccups, but so far ive only been blocked on one title.

MS being sued for packaging something with windows? Haven't we seen this before?

[-] Bahnd@lemmy.world 68 points 1 year ago

Whelp, it was fun while it lasted... Good job sony.

Apparently this is already a massive problem for people who are in countries that PSN is not avalible in, using a VPN to create an account to link to has resulted in getting banned. Also seeing as most players are already past the Steam refund window, this is utterly unacceptable.

I dont want to blame Arrowhead too much, this reeks of partnership/publisher meddeling. If they made it so that linking account is not required if crossplay is disabled, I would find that acceptable.

Well they could be summoned in defense mode, they would be placed sideways and face down.
