@thesupertechie@lgbtqia.space you might be better off with #BSD as the #linux kernel will now use AI. AFAIK.

@thesupertechie@lgbtqia.space gah! 😩 good luck. 🫡

@mackuba@martianbase.net would you edit this to have it say something like “nginx security update” I might have missed it if I wasn’t curious. Thanks 🙏

@matrix@mastodon.matrix.org Matrix is not ready for all of the discord Exodus. Needs more decentralization from the primary server and better moderation tools, and easier setup for admins. #matrix #Discord #exodus #tech #linux “And that's...it. Element promises more, like native video conferencing, but heaven help you if you're trying to self-host it. It is technically possible, but by no means simple. "Technically possible, but by no means simple" aptly describes up the entire Matrix experience, actually. I ran a private Matrix server for about a year and a half. Why private? In two public Matrix rooms I had joined—including the room for Synapse admins—I experienced a common attack in which troll accounts spam the room with CSAM material. Horrible, but not just for the participants and admins in the room. Through the magic of federation, every server who has a user participating in the room now has a copy of the CSAM material, and has to take action to remove it. This requires a manual curl request on the server itself, because Synapse has an appalling lack of moderation tools. It's so bad that, without third-party tooling, you can't even ban a user outright from a server; you have to manually ban them from every single room. Then came September 2, 2025. The outageof matrix.org caused by drive failures was not an indictment of Matrix's database management or recovery process—in fact, I was quite impressed with their response. But it did put the lie to Matrix's decentralization for me. Almost none of my friends could use Matrix, even though I was hosting my own server. The onboarding pipeline (especially via Element) is so focused on the flagship server, I daresay it comprises the plurality of Matrix accounts. It's not easy to get any statistics for all Matrix users, but that is my guess. How "decentralized" is that, really? Just because something can be decentralized doesn't make it so. Isn't that right, ATProto? I'm probably a little too close to this one. I so badly wanted Matrix to work, and I tried to make it work for my purposes for a long time. Ultimately, the pain points overcame the benefits. But if you care most about an intersection of message encryption, federation, and decentralization, and you're willing to put in quite a lot of admin time, Matrix can be a viable community chat platform.” https://taggart-tech.com/discord-alternatives/

@kitkat@climatejustice.social @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org that’s not necessarily true for everyone’s use case. I’ll be losing quite a lot by leaving Discord. And matrix is not necessarily the better option. They also built and maintained their own server for a year and a half. Their server was inaccessible because the main matrix.org server went down. I’m honestly thinking #IRC will be a better alternative for me than matrix. Simply due to the effort required in managing and setting up a #matrix server versus an IRC server.

@dansup I can’t use loops on Apple! The beta has expired! Can you re release it for iOS?

@juliette if I’m thinking of the same person yes! They did get access to their accounts!

@kitkat@climatejustice.social @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org as described in the article I posted, when the matrix.org server went down, the author and their friends could not use matrix at all. The entire system went down because the main server went down. That’s not how the Fediverse should work. If one server goes down, the rest should be able to pick up the slack and continue operating.

@FluentInFinance@mastodon.social Yo, why did you use the mean instead of the median for the last one?

@echo_xc@mastodon.social I’d love to know anyone’s thoughts on server hosting with #Asahi #Linux I’m currently on #Fedora #sway, switched over from Arch. Have been enjoying some of it. But the #Wayland renderer Zink Vulcan is a problem for many applications expecting X11. At least that’s where I believe most of my problems lie. For the most part it’s pretty good. Have enjoyed sway immensely. Fedora feels about the same as most any other distro.

@davidho@mastodon.world @breadandcircuses@climatejustice.social would definitely call this greenwashing.

@nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social in my experience. The only time it gets deleted is when you delete the wine folder and make a new prefix. If you avoid deleting it, it’s fine, I don’t experience issues with it. I’ve had the same prefix for like years and it works just fine. Only recently when I wanted to change something that I actually had to make a new prefix, but it’s not like it deletes itself out of nowhere. I would write down a list of the particular packages you need like direct X11 support or .net and just make sure they are installed on the new prefix when you get it set up. But I once again don’t believe you need to create a new one every time you set up a new program.
