Quite far:

I hope it is going to be ok. Automattic has been involved with matrix before. Time will tell, but I’m more hopeful than afraid.

You’re sure you’re talking about OnlyOffice, and not OpenOffice. OpenOffice and LibreOffice are related. OnlyOffice is not.

I tried to compare some backup solutions a while back: https://hedgedoc.ptman.name/kket4uo9RLiJRnOhkCzvWw#

Forget about docker. Run caddy or some similar webserver that is a single file next to the assets to serve.

How full is your ZFS? ZFS doesn’t handle disk filling and fragmentation well.

I would also welcome decent micropayments (maybe digieuro?), so that you wouldn’t need to subscribe, but could pay 0.045€ for something without it being unfeasible because of fixed transaction costs.

My point exactly. Why do we get ads on something we pay for with money?

I can only approve of people paying for services they use. It isn’t free to run. But there are several things to consider:

• $1/year is very low, transaction fees for accepting that amount of money are high
• It’s a low price for successful bots
• Doesn’t remove ads (take money from subscribers or advertisers, not both, also print media)
• Doesn’t give you better control over your experience. The paying customer should be the one being listened to
• This is Elon Musk’s twitter we’re talking about, how long until he changes his mind again?

Another surge on mastodon? Countries, cities, public organisations should put up their own mastodon like EU, BBC and Germany have.

Make a spreadsheet of where your money is going.

Or then you can just realize that the time you spend is spent not making money and you need to save time, not services.

Riot games forced them to change the name.

Got bought

cryptpad si quite good

Gandi is no longer a good choice

Thanks to sliding sync this is very snappy compared to old element.

Element X is built on the rust SDK which should support multiple accounts. https://github.com/vector-im/element-meta/discussions/1832

I see. I’m an old fart and couldn’t care less about gifs. But I do care about stuff being open instead of someone suddenly telling me the conditions have changed.

what about an actually free alternative, like matrix + element?

Cryptpad is a decent google workspace alternative. Nextcloud is a popular one, but I’ve always had some problems with it.
