Your server might have been hacked. There was a recent issue with a NodeJS software injecting a cryptominer onto other peoples servers, but I forgot the exact details.

What people say about Synapse is also somewhat outdated. These days it isn’t actually that much worse than Conduit (or forks), the main issue is that when you start joining older and bigger rooms the resource use goes through the roof, and that is also a problem with Conduit etc. Ultimately, this is a protocol issue and not an implementation issue.

There are multiple good XMPP mobile apps for Android: https://joinjabber.org/docs/apps/

The story on iOS is somewhat less good right now, but Monal is ok and Movim works quite well as a PWA in Safari.

Apparently a rebranded LiveKit, which is developed by an US American company…

XMPP is generally nicer to host due to lower resource requirements and better server management in general. The mobile apps are also much more snappy and need much less battery, plus notifications are more reliable.

Matrix has somewhat more public rooms of FOSS projects you can join, but typically these projects are also available on IRC, which you can join via the excellent Biboumi gateway for XMPP.

That can be also done with a Slidge gateway for Discord on XMPP.

Although another method is to use aluminium powder to have it self raise like this: https://youtu.be/smUu0WrnVTM

This is why ventilators can make sense to run in tall rooms even during the winter.

Sure, but these new C40 cells seem great for DIY projects since they don’t need compression like those rectangular ones or a lot of welding like those small standard cells.

I mean, yes by all means, but how is this related to Solarpunk?

As others have said already, email is one of the few things I would avoid self-hosting.

You could check with your domain / DNS host if they also offer email. OVH for example gives a free 5GB email for every domain. Otherwise there are of course email providers that let you use your own domain.

You are funny. That article links directly to what media typically refers to, i.e. “mass media”.

Asks any typical person around you what they understand if you talk about “the media”, and they will confirm that this indeed refers to what I am talking about.

Garage has deduplication of all files, yes. Obviously if you host something on server not under your control you have to have a certain trust in them. Generally speaking Garage seems to be a good replacement for Minio, but I don’t have any direct tips for migrating.

There was also a project for Mastodon to sit between it and any S3 storage that would allow sharing and deduplicating files between instances, but I can’t find it right now and forgot the name. But it seemed stuck in a rewrite and not actively developed outside of that.

No, that is not what media means. That might be what the original word in Latin meant, but in English it is used to refer to things like newpapers, TV channels and so on.

Its is commonly done with S3 compatible storage, and projects like Garage allow to do so in a distributed way.

Neither Bittorrent or IPFS seem particularly well suited for this.

Wat? Sorry, but your definition is even further from anything that could be called a consensus. You could maybe argue that WhatsApp is a social network, but it definitly isn’t social media and it is completly outlandish to claim so. Where do you even get the “media” part in it? You know, compound words are still made up of induvidual words that have a meaning by itself. Kinda funny that you accuse me of “making up definitions” 🙄

But sure there are some blurry edges between them. Like of Instagram is primarily used for social media, but the direct messages are more used like a social network.

Maybe Nextcloud hosted by Hetzner? https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/

Again, that seems to be a you problem. There are plenty of places on Lemmy that have very recognizable regular posters and comenters you can socially interact with 🤷

Eh? It is what I say that matters. You have a very strange world view if you think just because there is only a pseudonym attached it doesn’t matter. And of course conversing with others is social 🙄

Yes, and that is what connecting people means… talking to each other. NOT promoting oneself in a one-to-many fashion like what social media is about. Anonymous or not is of lesser relevance but it works either way.
