Trust the process. Just buy a VIA or VIAL enabled keyboard and enjoy ra easy graphical setup.

I once saw neon pink truck nuts on a Prius. Peak comedy.

They had edit.com from the DOS era.

I guess now is a good time to knee-jerkily yell “session management!”

Apps and DEs with proper session management in place will still save your work in progress and restore it on next logon.

Have you met people? They’re the worst.

That was marvelous.

The quotes really threw me for a loop.

Who said that?

You have to have an idea of what you’ll run on it first.

Old corporate desktops will do for a NAS and basic light services. Look for one that has three drive bays plus an NVMe slot.

Imagine a corp negotiator being told they’d have to deal with The Overwhelming Majority. They’d be shitting their pants all the way to the meeting.

Aw. I was hoping it would be Overwhelming Majority. How cool would that be?

That union name goes hard.

Well done! Protip: You can use double new lines to format paragraphs. And full-stops.

Yeah, I started doing that and found out most restaurants will use doordash to deliver anyway.

No clue, but they could use nice.

Borg is amazing but I don’t think it’s a good fit for your case.

That would regio explain with there are so few matrix servers out there compared to Lemmy or Mastodon.

Really? Is there an alternative that hits all the points above? I’m really asking.

• persistent IRC style chat rooms
• virtual “servers” to organize said chat rooms, manage privileges, control visibility
• integration with bots for all sorts of things (moderation, user welcome, dice rollers, etc.)
• integration with games/music players/etc (I don’t use it but it’s very popular)
• privacy and moderation controls
• client allows fine grained notification controls
• voice, video, and screen casting simultaneously
• “server” templates: use an existing server config (roles, permissions, rooms, etc.) when creating a new server.

That’s just off the top of my head.

It’s enshittifying, but the value proposition is still hard to beat. I’m really hoping Matrix catches up with the feature set soon.

Nheko provides an interface that is reminiscent of Discord. Fully featured and fast Matrix client.
