And if it’s pointed to 37, a prime number? Do you have to have your tables memorized up to 37x37 to be able to read that?
It’s knowing how to count, at best. But out of curiosity, do you really go “long pointer at 8, 8x5=40” internally when reading the clock?
I’d imagine most people would just go “40”.
Case in point: in school, we learned how to read a clock before we learned anything at all about multiplication.
What, and I mean this in all sincerity, the fuck?
Sorry, but: where in that is multiplication involved?
Bonjour from the German/Belgian border!
I live right at the German border, but not in Germany. I am German. I’d shrug, since by your rules I remain German.
Yes, in supported apps / protocols. Koreader, for example, should have 2-way sync for eBooks, and Mihon has 2-way sync for Manga.
+1 for kavita. It also has a nice webreader ui.
Using a docker container provides you with the exact amount of extra protection as using a VM: zilch.
Only advantage is you can use other people’s config easily.
Ah, nice. In that case just beware to move /var/lib/private/conduwuit to /var/lib/private/continuwuity, not /var/lib/conduwuit to its counterpart
Ah crap, forgot to ping you! Sorry!!
Yep, easy decision now. Migration went smoothly, just had to move the state dir and chown it to continuwuity:continuwuity. Might be different on docker though, no idea, sorry 😄
Yes, completely agree. It seems that the matrix foundation could easily take a different path to allow the community to flourish and third-party servers to have a much easier time. Since I’m not federated, I wouldn’t even mind if whatever fork I’ll end up on eventually says “fuck this, we’re not following synapse specs any more”.
But yeah, I am sure selling premium accounts on matrix.org is what will save the matrix ecosystem… 🤦🏼♀️
Understandable.
Hm, fair enough, I actually have very little experience with XMPP. (Only through prosody, which I personally am on a war footing with.) From a cursory glance, I also couldn’t find an Android lient I’d really want to use, but of course that is subjective.
In any case: I have a matrix server up and running, and it has been a pain to get friends and family on there; I do not want to do all of that again with a new protocol/clients. As long as it’s sustainable, I want to stay with the same server installation, and that means choosing a conduwuit for me.
There’s nothing technically wrong with it, it’s just a glacial development speed. I tried contributing there myself when I wanted a specific feature (which had been requested years prior by someone else and was deemed a good idea), it took months before I even got a single comment back.
In the meantime, I had switched to conduwuit because it was a much, MUCH more active project. However, conduwuit has diverged substantially from conduit, including irreconcilable database changes, so it is not possible to migrate back, that would require starting from a fresh slate and loosing all user data.
Understandable. Funny thing is, I’m not even federated; I think that keeps me away from a lot of drama.
But yeah. The drama sucks, and so does the Matrix Foundation. So many dumb decisions, so many years old issues that could easily boost acceptance and usability, but… Nah. No better alternatives around though if you want to own your data, have proper multi-client support, and at least the option to federate.
Roger, will do.
Yeah, community driven sounds like unless there’s new drama. But yeah, currently tending towards continuwuity. Purely vibes based from snooping around both repos.
Btw, nice read OP. Always great to see more Nix “in the wild”.
Can’t believe noone mentioned this yet:
Any good password manager encrypts and decrypts your password file client side. The server should not even have the ability to read your passwords.
Even in the case of a leak of all of the server’s data, as long as your password for the manager was good, you’ve got nothing to worry about.
I’d say pick a PW manager where both client and server are open source. Pick a strong passphrase. Enjoy.
Yeah, but no dark magic involved.
The only “magic” parts are two nix modules for handling proper networking and hardware setup, and exposing required attributes to the script.
Works really well, zero manual config (beyond the services you want to run…) required on nix or proxmox side.
Nothing. People fearmonger
??? There’s also no 40 on a clock. And what, are you only able to read a clock to an accuracy of 5 minutes…?
bullshit. Everyone knows how to read them, and they are everywhere.
I guess we just had different lessons.
