I remember ZoneMinder.

A full-featured, open source, state-of-the-art video surveillance software system.

Is this still a thing nowadays?

Also reliability, speed, and quality.

Partially and the general feeling.

I am not quite sure. Maybe Outlaw or Asteroids.

._.

On some I do, but mostly no.

But “oTHer ThaN LemMy” …

Some of my nightmares would make awesome mystery movies. I’d totally “rewatch” them.

You can listen to it. So someone said uwu for the Wikipedia.

Samsung T7 totally worth every cent. You connect it via USB-C.

Using this very good comparison site in German as base and ignoring the similarities:

Technical

• XMPP allows for various different client styles while Matrix doesn’t
• Fully featured, mature text-only clients for XMPP exist, but for Matrix there are only beta text clients available
• Matrix handles/addresses are always public in chat rooms while XMPP chat rooms can be configured to hide them
• Matrix has multi-server chatrooms for reliability in case of server or network issues while XMPP chatrooms alre always bound to one single server
• Matrix Chatrooms can be encrypted. XMPP chatrooms can be encrypted or not encrypted. (there’s no further explanation on this point, I assume it’s meant that Matrix servers can turn on encryption and that’s it, while XMPP servers allow the chatroom administrator to decice and do not force one or another)
• Administrative data is stored on one XMPP server. Matrix administrative data is stored on the servers of all connected users
• XMPP is modular and the protocol itself can be extended while Matrix is monolithic
• XMPP protocol uses XML while Matrix protocol uses JSON
• Matrix focuses on reliability and availability of chatrooms, XMPP focuses on features and extensibility
• XMPP uses less system resources than Matrix
• Chatroom data storage is done only on the XMPP server the chatroom is running on, while Matrix stores chatroom data on all of the servers of the connected users
• XMPP directly sends a message if the connection is open, otherwise a push notification is sent. Matrix only sends a push notification to the client and the client has to pull the message from the server

Organizational

• XMPP is an IETF standard while Matrix isn’t
• XMPP board and council are equally elected by all members. Matrix is a “single-party system” where the board decides who is allowed in the board.
• For XMPP all members are allowed to question/check/validate the board and council and there are annual elections. For Matrix, the Matrix.org Foundation (technical council) and New Vector Ltd. (service provider) expect trust from the community.
• On the XMPP board and council, all actors have to name their interests and their employer (this is to prevent having more than 15% of board/council members from the same company which would give a single company too much power). For Matrix there is no known information about such a clause.

Anything that uses XMPP.

Over time I found local delivery restaurants. I rarely ever order food from any of the common franchises around here. The local stores are just so much better!

Something new to try/learn always motivates me.

It will be greatly beneficial for my life and especially my privacy to self-host such software

You should go the Docker route. If you selfhost for yourself you can even use a Raspberry Pi or any common “mini computer” available. Just make sure to install a large enough SSD. 1 terabyte should be fine if you don’t want to use OwnCloud or something like this.

(And now you have something to learn! 😀)

The X1 Carbon Gen 6 is from 2018. If it was used since then it doesn’t worth anything at all without battery replacement, maxed out RAM and a large SSD, even then, maybe 150 dollars max. If it is old stock it might still need a battery replacement and then I’d totally not pay more than 250 dollars.

Edit: I just checked PSREF: You’re limited to either 8 or 16 gigabytes of soldered RAM. You cannot upgrade or change it.

Look at what Disney did with thier last few Star Wars shows. And then remember not doing it like that.

A black hole having the mass of the sund would have a Schwarzschild radius of circa 3 kilometers.

Yes please. People should shut up in public transportat and other crammed public places.

Being noisy in public.
