We use xmpp in the family and the experience is good enough. I wish WhatsApp would support official federation and it would be perfect.

They put goaway on mailing list archives and I cannot read them anymore. I understand they are combating bots but this is going a bit too far. LLM policy is similar, I understand the argument against large players, but we have local LLM which can help, so the policy would require more nuance.

I have to admit that the formulation sounded very weird.

Anybody know what protocol they use?

I recently switched from Linux to freebsd on my work computer and things have been mostly working. With linux chroot I can use the few apps missing BSD port.

I did this because I manage a fleet of BSD based server (BSD runs zfs and bhyve with VM on it) and I wanted the same base system for me.

I wonder how BSD friendly those laptop are.

In any case I am so happy to see some open hardware solution.

I am very happy that Linux is becoming main stream but I share your sentiment. FreeBSD is a nice alternative if you want to stay on the edge.

For domains, spread them across multiple registrars.

I hope you will support AMD. This looks Nice but I went the complicated route with AMD GPUs.

I have amd 9700 and it is not listed while it is great llm hardware because it has 32Gb for a reasonable price. I tried doing "custom" but it didn't seem to work.

The tool is very nice though.

It was never fully clear to me why the ordre mattered.

Even if you design the perfect system, kids will just ask parents for an unlocked account, many parents will accept, myself included. My kids have full access to the internet and I never used parental control, I talk to them. Of course, I don't want to give parenting advice, that would be presumptuous. But, my point is that a motivated kid will find a way, you have to "work" on that motivation.

Many of the worst present on the internet is not age gated at all, you have millions of porn websites without even a "are you over 18" popup. There are plethora of toxic forums...

Of course it's a complex problem, but the current approach sacrifice a lot of what made the internet possible and I don't like it.

I was never able to connect to mobile client from dino. mobile->mobile works fine. I saw a new dino fork that might changes that.

Give me linux-> mobile voice call and linux-> Linux screen share and I would be happy.

Also plugin for gif selector.

But other than that, my ejabberd instance has been running for years with no effort.

I know people frown upon it but I think XMPP is the way to go. It "just" require a good discord like client with voice and screen share.
