I’ve been selfhosting Synapse on Docker Compose for… maybe 1.5 years now? I’m also running bridges. I’ve never had to do monthly maintenance. I have around 20 users (my friends) active daily, a few federated rooms. I have message retention on and it “just worked” for me (not sure why OP had to do extra config)

I only find two of the critiques to be true in my experience:

1. Onboarding can be confusing for non-technical users. I use SSO so no registration, but the average person doesn’t know what an encryption key is, and they probably don’t want to either.
2. Synapse is written in python and as such isn’t super kind to memory/cpu. I’m doing fine on my cheap Hetzner box though.

Overall synpase for me has been very much “set it and forget it”. I can’t remember when I last did server maintenance.

claude performs acceptably at repetitive tasks when I have an existing pattern for it to follow. “Replicate PR 123, but to add support for object Bar instead of Foo”. If I get some of this busy work in my queue I typically just have claude do it while I’m in a meeting.

I’d never let it do refactors or design work, but as a code generation tool that can use existing code as a template, it’s useful. I wouldn’t pay an arm and a leg for it, but burning $2 while I’m in a meeting to kill chore tasks is worth it to me.

Neither do I - I use either my phone, or my smart TV, or my fire stick. SSO works fine there, or you can use the QR based session transfer to SSO on your phone and then “sign in on another device” or whatever by scanning the QR your other device is showing. I think they call it quick connect or something.

It does what you want.

And if you think Grandma can’t figure out scanning a QR code, Grandma is also not gonna figure out MFA lol.

You can run the OIDC version and use SSO and implement MFA on the IdP. I use Keycloak for SSO w/ MFA and users sign into my Jellyfin via Keycloak. Just disable username/password auth and leave it SSO only.

The only benefit Plex really has is the relaying, but I was able to sync watch with 3 people basically as far across North America as you can get from me and it worked without issue so…

The Americans can have a little misogyny, as a treat

Of course it is, LLMs are inherently regurgitation machines - train on biased data, make biased predictions.

Yeah it’s called “passing a law” but people only focus on the executive branch and forget to vote for midterms and shit.

Executive orders in their current capacity are a bastardization of our intended government.

I don’t wanna be that guy but it’s funny to me that this is suddenly true after many statements that there is no video and after GenAI/deepfake has hit the mainstream.

You can export images to tarballs and import them to your local docker daemon if you want.

Not sure how podman manages local images.

Idea:

1. Setup inotifywait on your sources directory and rsync to keep directories in sync, and on change, build and run latest image
2. Setup inotifywait on your image tarball directory/file and on change import and run latest
3. Mount your source directory to a docker server image that supports hot reloading.

Per the email text and Plex’s policy, they are correct - only Server Owners need the Pass.

That said I moved to Jellyfin months ago when they announced it.

Am I missing something here??? You just restated my original point to me as though we’re disagreeing with each other.

What? The guy I replied to said “oh where are the products on market, I guess oppressing women is too important”. That was literally the point of my comment was how absurdist of a take that was for the same reason you just said.

One company failed to bring an announced product to market, must be discrimination! The lack of results is proof that they’re not trying to solve the problem! Investors are committing capital in 3 different companies to fake interest in the idea in order to continue to oppress women!

Neglect of research into women’s healthcare is real, we don’t need to invent bogeymen where there isn’t one.

Buddy they’re in human trials with the FDA to bring a male pill to the market, and this startup is selling an injection. Idk what you’re on about.

The commodification of our most base needs, such as romantic relationships, is truly troubling. So much unrest because things like food, shelter, and reproduction are paywalled. Makes the population more vulnerable to fascist ideals.

The original image, and your extension, are an emergent behavior as a result of The Algorithm - due to “scarcity”, Player B (men) is (are) encouraged to roll the dice as frequently as possible.

This whole dynamic is real, results in negative interactions for both players, and is intentionally set up by the apps to maintain engagement and extract as much money via pay-to-play advantages as possible. Dating apps are rigged to give men and women bad experiences so they (largely men) become desperate enough to pay $25 a month or whatever to have an unfair advantage.

The internet (and other players!) likes to hate the players, not the game, and the only “comfort” many young men have is Tate and Co.

My humble experience so far: https://kcross.engineering/blogs/matrixandmautrix/

Biggest thing so far is “go slow on federation”. Large federated servers are where you get into trouble with resource requirements and needing to spin up workers, etc. Small, private servers are relatively easy.

I’m messaging Facebook users over Matrix via the bridge.

I can try to write some stuff up, it’s not super complex. Core requirement for my setup is Docker + a domain. I recommend Linux host but you can make Docker Desktop work.

Let me write some stuff down this week.
