Look at the other account I made on lemmy what the heck why are you mean

You keep pouring the water on it

Best purchase I have ever made

That kind of furry? Yikes, oh they’re like ten, twins, they are allowed on Roblox despite my protests so not sure how much worse that would make it.

Also worth mentioning that Matrix does not encrypt the images while they’re on the home server itself and has a bunch of creepy issues like that. Homeservers have some weird privileges and attacks they can pull off on rooms, although in edge cases like when a room is totally orphaned and loses all participants.

Delta is notable for how you can delete all of your stuff off of the server after receiving it. I choose device based storage + higher security + the backup option over Matrix’s false promise of preserving old messages.

Matrix clients were insanely buggy and would still show rooms after my friends and I left them and stuff like that?? Augh. Also Delta lets you set a background image for impeccable atmosphere. Webapps open in new windows on desktop so it’s nice to throw stuff in them on mobile and come back when you’re ready to work at a full desk.

No but XMPP is fine for that. I use both of them. DeltaChat has a way to send larger files in smaller chunks and store them in a persistent cloud drive type UI through the webapps it introduces.

The webapps are really nice and actually work a lot better than all of the Matrix integrations. They may look rustic but I actually use them for almost all of my notes and todo lists now lol. It has a very valuable place in my stack because of how I use it to sync notes and files between devices.

I should be a little more measured in my hyping of DeltaChat lol it’s just surprisingly good for how in-development it is already, soon to add location sharing and video chats, they’re in testing currently.

Multiple devices is a little quirky as you either need to make a new account (instantaneously) to communicaye with the same contacts and yourself, use the backup (doesn’t have a password), or do the transfer thing where you need both devices on the same wifi network.

Again I have tried to stress test Matrix and I did hang onto it for a while to do exactly what you’re describing but I just moved on because of the issues I mentioned and losing old messages even while doing everything right. It’s some shit with device key storage I think, shit can get fucked up. Maybe a more competent person with a tech job/unemployment would do better than me haha

👍

Nice, I think my younger cousins will love this

I have bad news, they are currently going through the process of closed source enclosure rather than fixing an important broken part of their software. Look up the Synapse Element drama. It’s so bad

I’m still gonna use Matrix via Matterbridge (it bridges everything check it out) because I like to diversify my options, but I’m not bug reporting their cruddy main client while they develop custom clients for NATO and other spooky organizations.

This isn’t about moralizing really, it’s a question of whether it’s worth trading convenience and access, and using up an amount of other people’s EXTREMELY FINITE patience to get them to at least add redundancy for their main social network online by figuring out a new app. People really hate using Matrix. It feels slow, it often loses all your messages. I have never lost old messages with Delta Chat, it can use traditional email servers & accounts in many cases (check the list on their site), and the backup system is easy even if it’s a little tucked into the UI.

Matrix has repeatedly lost my older messages for seemingly no reason, on the same device and everything, and on top of that randomly will not let me use my backups. I use a password manager! I know I did not use the wrong password on them! I would rather just have XMPP or Delta Chat’s device management than that haunted nightmare LOL. It’s so laggy!!! If you have like 3 voice messages or files on the screen it is visibly high latency. It is often high latency for seemingly no reason at all. It makes my phone hot and my computer chug. Some clients don’t properly implement encryption!

It takes too much energy to even describe what is wrong with Matrix! My patience has run out already

The Synapse drama is actually game over for Element/Matrix IMO. Move your friends to DeltaChat. It’s not a pain in the ass, it’s really snappy. XMPP is better for replacing the Matrix chatroom here for instance. I don’t have the energy to explain the drama or why. Go to the main Delta Chat developer’s fediverse page for more info

I’m not sure how robust it is as I have used it little, but Movim (an XMPP social media service akin to ActivityPub) seems like a much better option than Mastodon, various blogging services, and most IM apps. Really easy to have encrypted social media and then have a publicly shareable link through it. Check it out

XMPP is cool but Delta Chat is the good shit

Loath as I am to receive advice from Estonians with overwrought writing tendencies, that really seems spot on. It doesn’t have any unnecessary flourishes, Twitter references, or imitation of political savviness. It sounds like something the writers actually have experience with.

Iodine in most regular multivitamins seems to help a lot if I take it consistently. I don’t have random mood swings like I used to, so I can tell when it’s just work kicking my ass. Not saying buy anything crazy or expensive, apart from a kilogram of pure potassium LMAO. Can also just eat spinach, beans, potatoes.

I wish you luck in terms of stressors in your life fucking off, to make this as easy as possible. Protect yourself from freaky things if you can. Know us strangers on the internet are invested in your wellbeing. I am just happy to see someone even trying to be less miserable. I have seen people walk away from car accidents without any desire to kick the liquor. This is you doing this, and that is badass. 👍

I don’t have any relevant advice for you other than to make sure your general health is in tip-top shape to keep your mood up as you are quitting. Also keep yourself occupied in a public space. Due to the ongoing respiratory disease crisis this can be a tall order, but find somewhere to study. Just study anything you remember grabbing you.

Get some potassium powder and take it every morning. It can come in a salty form that’s nice for eggs (oof just remembered nevermind about those right now) or oatmeal. Focus your whole diet on protein, fiber, and omega-3s. Vitamins actually really really work. Specifically B12, C, magnesium, zinc, and potassium are noticeable the first day. The FDA restricts potassium supplements to a pathetic, tiny amount for some reason. You need literally 10-40 times the amount in a “potassium supplement” - dietary sources are best but I love money too much.

I’ve never been a drinker, but I know this is what makes being sober feel like shit as a baseline for most people even in the absence of stressors. There is no amount of money I would take to go back to how I felt before I got this nailed down. It’s a completely different way of being, it just takes a week to really kick in.

I hope you can succeed and remember that punishing yourself does nothing and is easy. A bold but methodical approach will change your life.

Is this guy good or is the video just good? Alt media youtubers are a land of contrasts. Does he host Scott Ritter and Pepe Escobar? Please say he doesn’t.
