It is a bit counter-intuitive but restricting new signups will not help them much. The way the matrix protocol is designed, i.e. replicating everything on every server, means that clients connecting to their server have only a minor impact. As long as most rooms of the entire matrix network are replicated on the matrix.org homeserver their costs will stay high and there isn't really much they can do about that other than shutting it down entirely.

Deltachat works ok for 1:1 chats and small groups. It is totally unsuitable for large public channels as it doesn't really have a concept of group chats and just pretends so by (in email parlance) adds every one in 'CC'. This only works ok for small private groups.

IRC just needs to get it's shit together and start adopting IRCv3 features on the larger servers. The problem is really only that networks like libera.chat run a feature set that is at least 15 years behind what IRC can actually do.

This article is nonsense. The Foundation was always a front for New Vector and their board is largely made up by New Vector employees. So of course they knew what was going on.

New Vector simply decided that the strategy to make Matrix appear as an open standard was against their business interests and thus left the foundation to fend for itself with obvious consequences.

Search on my Akkoma instance works reasonably well. Of course there is no central index, so it can only find what it has federated before.

It is the medium term plan, yes (if feasible).

The user facing side of Piefed is more optimized for speed and low resource use, which fits well with our Solarpunk ethos, and on the backend side I expect it to be easier to maintain and the performance impact should be neglible as most of it is the Postgres database with Lemmy and likely Piefed as well.

ISP DNS cache most likely. Try on a different connection or change to an alternative DNS server like Quad9. But that should sort itself out soon.

Thanks for the warm welcome 🥳

Currently only the Stripe backend supports recurrent payments by charging a credit card automatically. For Taler I plan to add an invoice like reminder email to simulate something similar.

One time payments are of course supported by both.

I started working on a modernized Fosspay fork and also got a small NLnet grant to add GNU Taler support to it. Sadly I am extremely busy with another project the next three months, but I expect to make some progress on it before the end of the year.

The R3 isn't really powerful enough for that.

On small x86 routers you can install Opnsense or IPfire which come with some non-router software to run a reverse-proxy or so. IP fire also allows to run full VMs, but the more advanced features are pretty limited.

Some people also do the reverse and run a full OS on them and then virtualize Opnsense and directly pass through a NIC to that VM.

Raddle.me and lobste.rs are non-federated alternatives.

In low earth orbit the radiation is less of an issue. The bigger issue is actually heat dissipation.

To give you ballpark figures. Self-hosting will not save you much compared to that.

Software like Akkoma or GoToSocial will save you some CPU and RAM costs, but are more optimized for smaller instances.

Good opsec includes not endangering other people that might have less good opsec. I am personally not at risk because I don't live in Germany.

That wasn't me, but in specific cases where multiple accounts are used for ban evasion or similar stuff that can be justified from a moderation perspective.

And if you do such a bad job that it is easy to guess your sockpuppet accounts then that is really a failure in opsec on your side 😅

No, a good example would have been the Frelimo fight against the Portuguese colonialists in Mozambique that resulted in a declaration of independence and the creation of a new state.

The example of Zimbabwe is is somewhere between that and the relatively reformist transition in South Africa, as Rhodesia (in agreement with their government) briefly reverted to being a British colony on paper to conduct elections which the previous rebel forces won and then formally declared independence from the UK.

I find it highly slanderous to be labled a "Rhodesia lover" for simply stating historical facts. Rhodesia was a racist apartheit state I am absolutly opposed to.

Please stop lying. I never defend Rhodesia in any shape or form. I simply stated that afaik Zimbabwe is considered the successor state by international law and shared some historical facts that you can also read up on the Wikipedia or any history book.

I am well aware of that, but that is totally besides the point.

Down votes are public on Lemmy, and your account alone did enough harrassment, but yes I am pretty sure you also have at least two sock puppet accounts you also use to harrass people.

Get a life, you are embarrassing yourself 🤷
