@sugar_in_your_tea @phoenixz Hi there! If you wouldn’t mind indulging grampa for a minute - I’m a former php4 maintainer for Debian with a story.

One time we found a bug that caused the php interpreter to crash, based on the input passed to a function. We decided it was a security issue, but even that was kind of besides the point. We reported it upstream to the php folks. They (Rasmus!) told us it was not a high priority issue, because apache would simply restart when it crashes - no big deal

@mac @poVoq Just curious what you dislike about Cheogram’s UX?

@chronicledmonocle @sugar_in_your_tea This is why I love yggdrasil. Thanks to having a VPS running it that all of my hosts globally can connect to, I can just use IPv6 for everything and reverse proxy using those IPv6 addresses where I need to. Once hosts are connected and on my private yggdrasil network, I stop caring about CGNAT or IPv4 at all other than to maybe create public IPv4 access to a service.

@wildbus8979 @Bahnd Yeah, XMPP checks all the boxes. That said, I don’t know how well encrypted group chats (MUC) work with various clients.

Also, while message contents are encrypted, metadata is not. Self-hosting ameliorates that, but if your “self-hosting” involves a VPS or whatever hosted by a giant corporation, then that’s something to be aware of.
