idk, it just makes me sad

this does like the opposite of what i want it to do.

no, it’s literally all in service of sending notifications. but there’s a lot involved. android doesn’t have a way to receive them natively for example, you need to go through google’s services. so ntfy has to emulate the firebase api. then there’s the “exactly once” requirement, which is basically the two generals problem turned up to eleven because every platform syncs differently and you need some way to store messages that are in the process of transmitting. then there’s the matter of punching through NAT, so you need a STUN/TURN setup on the server.

and that’s on top of the fact that every platform requires different build options, manifests, certificates, etc.

if you want to send one notification from your desktop to your phone, it’s easy. but from any device to (m)any other, with guaranteed delivery and no doubles? shit gets complicated.

it’s just going to be more common with vibe coding taking over, since if you ask a model to write a readme with an installation section that’s what you’ll get.

feels like this could be made a lot safer by just making it a website where you enter your specs

for some, yeah. depends on your use case.

for what it’s worth matrix has worked well for us. it’s apparently a bitch to set up though.

now do the other ones

soundn like a problem with your friends then. who doesn’t love a stoat?

you mean unlike the tools discord has replaced, such as “mumble”, “ventrilo”, “roger wilco” and “trillian”?

for one video, absolutely. for fifty? it’s a lifesaver.

in the terminal of course!

ffmpeg? no ui at all there.

really? i thought one of the main benefits of gamescope was that it can be nested inside an existing DE?

bazzite is probably the better choice.

you can most likely get all of the same benefits from your existing install, though. just need the right configuration.

it’s 300TB

when you install a DE as part of system setup it’s usually preconfigured by the distro maintainers. otherwise you need to do that configuration yourself, which is more difficult.

cringe

of course but it doesn’t help the “this isn’t that hard” case.
