... do we even need n-gate anymore?

edit: checked the comments of the original post and they apparently used perl to produce a 11kb regex.

For tools which can find differently names files you have for examples: fslint (gui) or fdupes (cli)

I'm looking for a more advanced duplicate files finder in Linux, specially one that can handle folders.

Most tool just return a list of duplicate files, but what I need is to also know is if whole folders are duplicate, or subset of others and have it presented in an elegant way t o resolve conflict. ofc everything is in a big folder and everything is a mess, bit of a hoarding collection of files that got accumulated over the years.

I could probably code some stupid script myself, if I ever got the time (spoiler I probably won't) but I have no idea on how to present the result elegantly. So it would be nice if such tool already existed.

I recently had a particularly vexing issue in a small encrypted room of 3 people, new messages were shown as undecrytable and then only readable a few hours later, we never figured out why.

I re test it every few months/years because I hear it's getting better, the server is properly configured now, encryption system was remade, there is a new client, etc...

Losing my whole chat history each time made the endeavor even more frustrating. I know not everyone keep logs but I can search my Mails and Irc logs from 20 years ago and I find it really useful.

Sorry for the rant but since you asked. Like I said I fully support your work on Matrix, I just find it so ... frustrating and it make me sad because I really like the idea.

it's often the same group of people too... Andrew_nenakhov "forgot" to mention it but he develops a XMPP client and likes to pop up in the comments ofpost on Matrix to complain

edit: I'm not really taking a side on either XMPP or Matrix, I wish for both to succeed but I'm currently disappointed by both. I'm just getting a bit tired of XMPP fanboys spewing FUD every time Matrix is mentioned

Feels a bit like the "new more efficient battery technology" recurring post.

edit: to precise it's not that I'm not supportive of the effort, just that it would be nice to just have a post when it's actually merged. The title is a bit deceptive

It's like you had mysite.com, decided to rename it to a new domain and so put a redirect. And then the CEO of the DNS authority decided to take your domain for himself, put a copy of your previous site on it and pretended that you never moved it in the first place.

all the people migrating from Freenode it seems

I use the sort function of a standard library because it has been written by seasoned devs, reviewed, rewritten; use known algorithms and practices; and being part of a well known standard library it has a chance of still being maintained, distributed and available ten years from now on.

I don't know how you can even remotely compare that to an unmaintained code dump that someone made as a learning experiment over the week.

I'm not dissing on theses kinds of code release, they are great to learn from, but I would find it a bit foolish to base your whole product on it.

> the ones who are really interested in what we are doing i.e they would still work even if they aren't on payroll

do you mean the one that aren't competent enough to get interesting job that are paid?

Or even translating...

Try putting their demo website in Google Translate or even try to select the text on an email in their demo webmail app to copy paste it in google translate ....

I remember Facebook permissions for Apps in the past were quite laxes. I wonder even if theren't were data accessible to apps that were not visible from the browser interface.

I also bought a Bluetooth headset but I'm considering buying a real, big microphone to ease meetings.

There is also nextcloud which is more a all in one product.

edit: but James Gunn look more interesting to me I would say. Also Kobe Bryant was apparently major news in the US, and this site is more about alternative, more obscure or specific news. Authors don't get celebrated enough compared to sport celebrities in my opinion
