Email is federated. You can set up your own server using something like Stalwart in a few hours. I deliver thousands of emails a month on my personal server. The problem is deliver ability to Gmail and outlook, but if you don’t care about that then you’re golden.

All of the other answers mentioning coturn here are wrong - your friend is trying to call you using element call, which needs an instance of a livekit and a JWT micro service to grant permissions to use the livekit instance. You can use a livekit cloud account, but you do need to host the JWT service. I would suggest looking up Element’s documentation

You can use scrcpy or similar to mirror your phone screen, and/or take a screenshot

Actions is significantly better, there are lots of subtle UI improvements, there are new importers, etc. Not a killer feature, but many small improvements that add up.

MusicBrainz Cover art is from the Internet Archive’s Cover Art Archive, and you can edit it easily via the musicbrainz.org website. You can also use https://harmony.pulsewidth.org.uk/ to update the medatata with stuff from streaming sites automatically.

Alternatively, you can install a plugin from Picard to download from, for example, Deezer or Apple Music. You can also grab a plugin to do replaygain, to get a more normalised audio volumes, like on streaming services.

For local music recommendations, you can try experimenting with listenbrainz local right now, if a bit experamental. It is essentially the Listenbrainz recommender on a local library. Building a better system for local music is on the MetaBrainz team’s mind, and my final year project for University is going to be related as well (maybe follow me for updates if you’re interested). I don’t think automatically downloading from Spotify or whatever will happen though because of legal issues with that - maybe there’ll be the ability to add plugins to do that. However, you can use the MusicBrainz database to get the exact Spotify link for many tracks (thanks to the Harmony importer lol). Ideally sharing libraries with your friends would be possible, though.

That page seemed outdated, but: From further down that page:

The recommended strategy is to share the keys automatically only to verified devices of the same user

This is the same situation where the key backup is accessible - which is not described on that page, but it’s a key store of all the megolm keys. This is what is now generally used instead of that as it doesn’t require devices to be online and allows recovering keys if all devices are lost.

I host mail via Stalwart, which makes it pretty damn easy - it handles most everything, just giving you a big block of DNS records to upload with all the DKIM SPF MTA-STS nonsense. However, spam filtering from big providers is still occasionally an issue. I still occasionally get reports of mail making it into Gmail’s spam inbox, for example.

A few days late, but I have a pretty similar usecase to you on https://forgejo.ellis.link/. My solution is go-away, https://git.gammaspectra.live/git/go-away, which just sits as a reverse proxy in between traefik and Forgejo. I haven’t enabled fancy stuff like TLS fingerprinting. It’s been effective enough at killing the bots downloading archives and DDoSing the server from residential IPs. My config is based on the example Forgejo config, but with a few tweaks. Too long to post here, though, so message me if you need access

Matrix encryption keys don’t need other people online - they get queued up as messages for each device you have.

You might want to check out https://matrixrooms.info/, which is good for a search around. Some project communities also have offtopic rooms that are good to chat in. Even very small rooms can be very active.

As for the difference: https://lemmy.world/post/33271240

“can’t guarantee the authenticity of this message” just means it was restored from backup. In the same vein, if you can decrypt a message in any client, it should upload the keys to the message backup so it can be decrypted on other clients, even ones that haven’t logged in.

Continuwuity developer here - Conduit is reviving itself, and you can no longer move from Conduit to tuwunel or Continuwuity. You haven’t been able to for as long as either project has existed. You might be confusing conduwuit with Conduit.

I’ve only seen this message in the last months where different servers are having network issues and can’t talk

Basically: record every song you listen to, and when you listen to it (plus some more metadata), and then add it to a giant public dataset. Open source software then uses that to make music recommendations based on your and other people’s listening, and to give you interesting stats about your listening.

That kind of captcha is trivial to bypass via frequency analysis. Text that looks like language, as opposed to random noise, is very statistically recognisable.

Matrix file limits are server-dependent, usually enforced for the uploader only. If you run a server you can set it to several gigabytes lol

Alteernatively, use a tool designed for file transfer: https://gist.github.com/SMUsamaShah/fd6e275e44009b72f64d0570256bb3b2

Yep, that’s the point described in the linked paper - traffic goes via the same domains used for their app, and the messenger is embedded in their app

To go on top of the reverse DNS/mail comments, it can also be useful for running a service like codeburg pages, or some other program that handles its own virtual hosting and TLS, without interfering with your more traditional services.

Stalwart recently released CalDAV & CardDAV support, and it’s what I use for mail. It’s pretty secure by default too.
