This is a golden thread for extension recommendations

Was going to say Obsidian, but upon verifying, realized that it’s not actually open source. Interesting.

Hahaha this is incredible. Can’t wait to try stuff like this once I get my hands on more VRAM

Best alternative I’ve found is Signal for VoIP and parsec for game streaming

Is the TOR part optional?

Agreed.

Yep. And besides, the only people actually taking significant risk here are the instance hosters storing the content.

Shit, that was good. Maybe making the switch will help reduce the amount of ambient doom I feel nowadays.

No, closest thing is to join a datahoarder group and trade when needed.

Although with LinkWarden gaining popularity, something like this developing is a possibility.

That is interesting, the last time i tried Element/matrix it did not have these features. Can I ask, is your screen sharing of a quality that you can stream videos and games at equivilant frame rates?

But neither have seamless voice chat/screen sharing, which is a staple of Discord that users are very used to.

This is a fantastic read. I wasnt around for the prime days of forums but I did experience them a bit.

I’m becoming extremely concerned about the number of topics and projects that are migrating to Discord. My main issue is that it is not and never will be publically indexed, and among other problems, is itself a corporate walled garden we consider to be “one of the good ones”.

I really hope we find and establish a “low executive cost” solution before the next time Discord fumbles (which is inevitable) and we can claw some of that activity back.

But people are so used to seamless voice and video chat nowadays - and that’s a technical hurdle that AFAIK, no open-source self-hostable projects have come close to solving.

Oh, I need this thread. I’ve been all over the place ever since Mint shut down.

I’ve been trying to find a more privacy-friendy alternative to Discord but I keep coming back to the issue of screen sharing. No other platform does it as smoothly.

The best I’ve found is using Parsec with some virtual audio cables to avoid voice feedback.

I need to try this, it looks great!

God, these phones look cool.

The price to performance ratio is awful, but man, I love how these phones look.

It is uncanny seeing this, as I experienced this EXACT situation less than a week ago.

I still refuse to replace the battery out of spite. I’d rather burn alive than be awoken in such a way again

From experience, Lemmy/Mastadon is a lot easier to pitch to potential users than Linux lol

I really need to learn git. Wouldn’t it be possible, even trivial, to simply host your own repository nowadays?

Make an app that is a little ASCII potted plant in your terminal and every time you type something it waters the plant and it grows
