The danger with self hosting is that police can always steal everything from you.
Felt weird hearing story of my ex that the german customs office just stole their Laptop and Phone. She couldn’t show me pictures and she hadn’t any backups or smth.
I am afraid this could happen to me too when they suspect something but are wrong at the end. At the entire time I will not have access to my drives of my server and maybe they accidentally break them. Not sure if they will believe me that its a raid 1, I can imagine them stealing everything without questioning.
I wonder how to comfortable sync a 2TB drive and take it with you.
Additionally. I dont do backups. I only sync devices. Except for Phone pictures which are uploaded and deleted from the phone. I think there should be a second device that keeps data
I wonder how I should design backups as large as 2TB. I would love to have something outside of my Home that does backups, but doing this remotely seems overkill.
But you are giving me the potential to think about it and redesign my insecure data that may dissappear someday.
This post is going to be a bit personal (and maybe a little bit out of context, it’s not just Google software I want to remove) but I’m tired of not knowing what to do about it. I want and have wanted to get rid of a bunch of proprietary software in my life, including but not limited to Google’s software, for quite a while...
Discord is currently the best for managing Communities. I dont see Matrix being even close to discord. Its partly similar, but lacks too much what makes Discord great.
I understand your view, but its still nothing that a community will love to adapt like discord as discord has too many features missing in Matrix.
If you want a successful and big community outside of coorp shit, then we need to create something new and better together and not put the load onto an individual person who wont be able to make it profitable.
You can only join a single chat/channel. You may join multiple ones at the same time but the idea is more heavy with too much decision making while on Discord, you just join a server and have hundrets of Chat Channels together with voice channels to join and create. Additionally the survey on whay roles you want and what channel topics you want to see. Matrix is not even similar, its entirely different.

I purchased the Star Labs Starlite and am hyped. It holds long and is x86.
I wanted to have a convertable to also draw which makes it perfect for me and making me write this comment. Maybe its irrelevant to you. Starlabs also has a normal Laptop I think but I have no experience with both.
Currently with my chromebook duet 3 I can’t really code without making it freeze or unable to execute code because its ARM.

Plasma 6 has so many fucking bugs. Holy shit it drives me crazy.
One thing is, that when starting Apex Legends, all Windows just suddenly start to loose the understanding on whether they should go below or over a Window when focused. They suddenly go below other windows when focused.
Sound System Notification sound too loud? Well, shit for you, you can’t make it quieter now.
Having two monitors with each a panel on the bottom? After a suspend and wake up, its possible that your main panel or right one just goes inbetween those two Monitors.
