Yeah, from this behaviour, it really seems like Talk is a substitute for MS Teams rather than a social chat platform. On Teams, any file shared in a chat session is actually stored in the sender’s OneDrive account and a shared link is sent.
I suppose if I wanted to host this as a chat server, I would need to make it very clear to my users that I do have access (at least technically) to their chat session, just like my job’s IT technically have access to our teams chat.
Good to know! I intended to sst it up on my Yunohost server such that it’s all locally stored. I would be using it for close family messages only, but if message are not encrypted during transit it’s bad.
Strangely, on complain I received about signal was that they found it hard to save the pictures and videos shared on it (to preserve like old photo albums would). With nextcloud talk, I would expect all the shared files to be available on the cloud drive.
I was looking at nextcloud talk, bit I’m not sure how it compares. I’m also looking for backup plans for signal.
So far I’ve been quite pleased with Yunohost. Comprehensive list of apps and easy to maintain via web ui (and optionnal cli, but it’s mostly the same as the web ui)
I haven’t had to restore a backup yet, so unsure about that, but otherwise it runs immich and nextcloud quite nicely. I really appreciate the centralized account management.
When a metric becomes a goal, it’s no longer a good metric.
It’s this anti-science propaganda?
That’s true when you consider their official tasks… However after years in industries, it became apparent to me that their maon job is to “have contacts in high places”.
When your CEO signs a deal with their friend’s friend for the biggest contract of the year, it’s hard to replace that by an AI…
Yeah, that’s good to know! I didn’t have the mental bandwidth to learn all the ngix thing and just wanted to let my family access my immich server, so I’m currently test driving with ynh.
So far I love it, but haven’t yet tried restoring backups or upgrading apps.
What’s this community’s opinion of Yunohost?
I’ve been struggling with keeping everything in control, the discovered yunohost. It’s like containerised apps, but without containers. I love how simple it is and the wide range of apps.
That’s probably like when I look for my cellphone and don’t notice it’s on my hands…
A few weeks ago I installed Debian on my old computer and i swear I couldn’t find these options!
Ever since snap arrived, I switched to Debian.
The only thing I dislike about Debian is that there is no “server/headless install image” available, so it’s not a big deal.
Yeah, you still have full control of your local Plex install (for now). I don’t mind it, but I would advise against it for new users. It is on the enshittification road
Developing hardware also is not free. I still don’t want to see ads for the latest cooling system.
I’m ambivalent about the topic because the goal is for us to own our servers…
Most of the hardware I use is proprietary, but at the end of the day Intel can’t come and rob me of the object I paid for. Sure it will become obsolete in 10 or 20 years, but I’m still the owner.
When it comes to software, I want to own it, not just a license. Most proprietary software comes with strings attached, which is why I don’t think it fits the self-hosting philosophy.
If a proprietary software was “buy it once and own the binaries forever”, I wouldn’t mind seeing it discussed here. (Plex with lifetime licenses comes to mind.)
However, I don’t want to see advertisement for a proprietary software the same way I don’t want to see ads for some specific hardware components.
That’s my opinion.
Now I just need a service that connects to yt music and grab all my data, so I can migrate my history/playlists to Music Assistant.
I used to jave everything in mp3, then moved to streaming, then my tastes evolved and I no longer have mp3s of what I currently listen to…
I had to pick a custom port number for a service at work, I usedport 42069. My boss never realized and it’s still there.
I’m not sure that life is good, but I feel that I’m part of life and that life is part of me. I suppose it’s a natural instinct somehow… So I feel like something is better than nothing…
I know I’m atypical on that aspect, but I feel it much more deeply than most of my friends when I see somebody else getting bad. I cant claim some philosophical basis to it, it’s just there, for me…
Haha, I think I’d enjoy a long discussion with You on this topic around a drink or something!
I come from a totally different direction, yet I agree that the self is an illusion. I think that humans and everything we make is part of nature, even if it’s hard to see the similarities.
What exactly is a self? Is it the body of a person including gut biome? Only the collection of all the cells with the same DNA? Or the nerves only, or the brain only? Or is the self an emergent abstract construct resulting from the reactions occurring inside the brain?
Or maybe the self is the bosy and it’s direct environment it shaped (the clothes, the house, etc.)? Are offsprings part of the self? Is the extended family part of the self? Are we the part of Earth’s biosphere used for thinking?Are we the universe being counscious of itself?
I like to understand genocide as a bad thing because it reduces biodiversity, and thus reduces the chances of our species’ survival. Since our species is currently the only one capable of interplanetary travel, we are the biosphere’s best tool to continue growing forever!
Yeah, let’s not try to apply the scientific method to social problems, that can only end badly!
But let’s not apply absolute relativism to science unless we want to end up with climate denialism.
Cheers!
Build Vivaldi on top of Firefox rather than Chrome, and I’m in.
