@HonoraryMancunian No, since the result could be 3 randomly. It will only have infinite digits with a 100% probability. Yes, that’s different.

BEGIN TRANSACTION is your friend

I just love how the other person immediately knew there could be a difference between the left and the right USB port.

It is easy to cook up your own IM protocol, but for interoperability between providers (which is the whole point of using XMPP or Matrix in the first place!) we need to agree on a protocol. The way we agree on protocols is standardization. XMPP is the proper IETF internet standard for instant messaging while Matrix is effectively just another product by some startup with lots of venture capital funding for shiny clients and marketing.

Also, XMPP servers and clients are also a lot less bloated.

@Masimatutu Oh nice! I didn’t know he was on Mastodon. Or that he was a guy actually.

This looks like a SMBC before coloring.

@nx2 @fne8w2ah Have you considered hosting a lightweight XMPP server and accessing Matrix through a bridge? https://aria-net.org/SitePages/Portal/Bridges.aspx

XMPP is the internet standard anyways, not sure why Matrix is necessary. Hopefully they become standard compliant soon. Venture capital startups reinventing internet standards in incompatible and inefficient ways is not helping.

Yet most users in public rooms seem to be either bridged from Telegram or Discord. They’re not counting those users too, right?

Browser: Firefox + uBlockOrigin
Passwords: https://www.passwordstore.org/
Instant messaging: https://joinjabber.org/
DNS: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls/

@Varyk Fennec is the browser. It’s Firefox Mobile with some proprietary stuff removed.

@Varyk Hm maybe using a private DNS works, but no way to be sure: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls/

@Varyk Ad blocking on the mobile internet. I haven’t seen an ad on my smartphone for years now.

@Varyk It really is life changing :D
Btw other life changing apps if you don’t know them are NewPipe from F-Droid and Fennec+uBlockOrigin also via F-Droid. No more ads on the smartphone.

Go to https://archive.is and paste the URL you want to archive or view.

Almost all Matrix servers seem to require at least an email address. A better option would be XMPP, as most servers only require a username and a password to register. It’s also the IETF internet standard and a lot less bloated than Matrix.

XMPP, the internet standard for federated instant messaging.

Since it’s not federated like XMPP this is completely pointless when all the users are on their server.

Let’s go web standards!

USB-C wasn’t exactly Apple’s idea.

Better yet, set the XDG user directories to be want you want them to be: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_user_directories
