I've been using migadu for a year-ish, its a nice website. For only 20$ a year I don't think I've ever noticed down time and almost never received spam.

I'm looking forward to them deploying 'Alps' their new UI I've been using it on my self-hosted mail and its pretty sweet.

I think they have calendar the show how to set it up here, they just dont have a GUI for it https://www.migadu.com/guides/thunderbird/

I wish there were more roles for elixir newbies/general newbies out there. I've been learning some elixir basics and it seems like itd be a tonne of fun to work with.

Its in beta but element groups were added recently for this kind of thing.

I dont think it has voice rooms yet but hopefully one day.

Element isnt paid? It has paid hosted options if you want your own synapse server, but the free version has always been there and if you're using discord why care that you dont have your own domain for your matrix community

If its deployable and tested in a docker container its much easier to generate user images, it takes the onus away from the user and the developer can just put it on the aur/publish a deb

Qwant does support !g etc if you end up needing it.

This project predates the song i assume you're referring to by 2 or 3 years

Gerrit has gotten a new UI in the last few years as far as i know. I wouldnt nesecarily describe it as pretty, but its my personal favourite review system

Theres gerrit and reviewboard, both of which I would consider quite nice.

I dont know reviewable so it might have more sauce than the recommendations

https://github.com/alphapapa/matrix-client.el there is this

I really liked this story. Im much too young to have been around for it, but I feel like this era of computing must have been kind of magical where there was a lot of access and no walled garden nearly to the scale of a google or apple where the obfuscation just requires a flipped bit.

This is very cool, In my head, writing a game engine seems like one of the real 'final frontier' projects -- an os, a compiler/language, a game engine all feel like similar levels of project insane complexity with limitless scope.

Every time I've attempted even the basics of graphics programming I very much get scared off when it doesnt click quickly (if anyone has tips on how to get into it, it would surely be appreciated :))

the real testament to its simplicity

I wish there was anything comparably easy to use and of the same quality or even in the vicinity in foss communication platforms.

Mumble isnt easy to use but has great voice and terrible text, matrix and irc are both -- for most non techy people -- hard to use and esentially text only, jitsi is video conferencing, xmpp is mainly not about voice and suffers the same issues as matrix.

I really hate the state of things as I would love to contribute and join some oss communities but they only exist on matrix and I hate using it. Its one of those things i wish i had the know how to start building my self, but webrtc alone seems impenetrable for mumble/discord style audio.

I only got the iflash recently, but i think ill try setting it up again and format each sd first.

rockbox was a delightful experience, such a cool project.

I sincerely hope they don't, but also i don't think they will. I've never come across music i cant get outside of spotify, i don't see why it would happen with podcasts.

I dont listen to a huge number but all the podcasts i listen to are available outside of it on one of the seemingly millions of podcast hosting services.

Patreon is really cool in this area as i can support podcasts i like and patreon provide a rss feed you can use which is quite delightful.

I would love a media player that supports rockbox and could also take a 1-2tb ssd. i tried with an ipod classic with 4 256gb sd cards but it seemed to corrupt music files sometimes which was a shame

> We are about to rebuild our Android app in Flutter from scratch now…

Why not use Java/Kotlin if its just on android? Flutter has its advantages sure, but from my experience developing with flutter is the apps end up a bit slower than native, and often you end up interacting with the Java ecosystem on android anyway so the experience doesn't end up being that much better.

I wouldnt say dired is made by crazy people, It just doesnt fit your expectations

I like that it opens multiple windows it makes it easy to quickly jump between directories. I dont worry about having a clean list of buffers though but it never gets in my way

Maybe this is a the case, however there are, I would guess at least a billion people on earth who play games. there is nothing even close to that using blockchains. If blockchain energy usage is even vaguely in the range of games it can still be considered an enormous --possibly-- unnecessary usage of power

Nyxt seems really cool. I have a vague hope in the back of my mind that itll eventually be an emacs-like editor as well as browser. It seems like it could be a cool lispy answer to things like vscode etc.

For sure!

Its my first emacs package outside of my config so the elisp isnt amazing or anything, but if you want to send patches the mailing list is here https://lists.sr.ht/~amk/public-inbox put any questions or patches there! :)

This looks loke a great project!

I also built an Emacs music player recently, for subsonic. I even use it as my daily music/podcast player. It's a very rewarding thing to work on, The Emacs development flow has made me wish everything could be developed like an Emacs application.

https://git.sr.ht/~amk/subsonic.el

I've used it before, and run a nixos server at the moment.

I think guix is a lot more ergonomic for package definitions and system configuration than nix, I also think the documentation is a lot easier to break into + it has a semi graphical installer.

the big downside being it doesnt come with proprietary drivers which is pretty annoying, but can be worked around with nonguix -- https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix which also includes a few other proprietary programs, if thats something you need

In my experience, occasionally watching videos its almost the exact same.

   1. You send me a peertube -- any peertube URL
   2. I load that page in my browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Android, iPhone, Desktop, anything)
   3. I watch the video

I'm not sure what the peertube mobile compatibility is like but newpipe supports it and i assume modern mobile browsers work.

Yeah I really agree here. Especially when it comes to coreutil implementations. I've seen multiple implemented under MIT/BSD and it always makes me a little sad.

I have access to an incredibly high quality easy to use router firmware in the form of OpenWrt by virtue of GPLd coreutils. I wish FOSS developers weren't so afraid of it these days

XMPP has omemo for encryption which is support by default by both major severs and every client i've tried -- especially the ones that aim for user-freindlyness likes conversations

the re3 project is quite cool. people have been able to port it to the switch and ps vita, for both GTAIII and Vice City.

I think game reverse engineering projects like this are always pretty interesting.

I think the whole project is just so fun. I contributed a couple of patches and the whole community behind it is so warm and welcoming. Its incredibly pleasant and refreshing to interact with.
