  • $1,000 car loan payments are on the rise, stressing household budgets

    Jump

  • I don't necessarily agree that you need to be able to pay cash for a car, but within reason. If you can't pay way more than the minimum payment, you can't afford it. Also, insurance exists for a reason!

    I've got a small loan (~$14.8k originally) and I'm paying it off ASAP. After my 5 payments so far, it's down to $11k. I'm paying over double what the monthly payment is set at, with all the excess going to the principle. I expect to have it paid off in ~18 months from now, if not sooner.

  • It's not quite as simple as a single docker compose, but the Element Server Suite for hosting a matrix home server (synapse) was fairly simple to get working.

  • If it's a Verizon model, you're out of luck as they lock their bootloader completely with no means to unlock it. Some of those imei checker tools will list if it's from a specific carrier so you can confirm.

  • There's like a million options for text only chats. The reason discord is popular is that it has voice and video calls, screen sharing, and text chat. Most people don't want to need 3 or 4 different programs with 3 or 4 different accounts to use those features.

    That is the appeal of discord, and there are very few options that offer a similar, seamless experience. It is (moving towards was) the "right tool for the job" for all of those features, all in a single tool.

  • Matrix hosting

    Jump

  • There's an additional component, and how you deploy it depends on the method you're deploying things. If you do the Element Server Suite (https://github.com/element-hq/ess-helm) via their instructions, it includes the voice/video component and web client. If you deploy your homeserver in a different way, you should be able to find instructions for Element Call.

  • Matrix hosting

    Jump

  • Synapse is the Matrix homeserver, it handles everything except for the voice/video call features.

    Edit: it doesn't handle the web client either, but technically you don't need that for a working setup.

  • You will need a domain, but they can be had for a couple $ per year.

    As for hosting on synology, I don't know how difficult it is. I used the Element Server Suite on a Debian VM, and aside from some minor issues getting email and automatic room joining working it was pretty simple following their guides.

  • U.S. Catholic Bishops Double Down on Anti-Trans Policies in New Hospital Rules

    Jump

  • I'm aware. I would rather die than detransition, but they'll have to kill me themselves as I'm not going to do it for them. And I will not go down without a fight.

  • U.S. Catholic Bishops Double Down on Anti-Trans Policies in New Hospital Rules

    Jump

  • Or maybe cis men could stop trying to police what other people do with their bodies? If I couldn't transition, I would have died years ago. There's no amount of "treatment" that could stop me from being trans. What you're advocating for is tantamount to torture, and pushing people to suicide.

    Do you know what helps trans people stop feeling gender dysphoria, and reduces rates of suicide? Social acceptance and medical transition. Do you know what literally kills trans people? Lack of social support, denial of medical transition, and people like you pushing to totally remove access to gender affirming medical care.

    Death before detransition.

  • Does accessing your router page via caddy work when you're actually on your home network and not accessing it via wireguard? Have you tried a different web browser to rule out your LLM suggested cookie issues entirely?

  • The reality of Discord and its alternatives

    Jump

  • There is some way to do it using like, group chats and their hosted services, but there is no self hosted server based persistent chat.

    Honestly, spinning up the Synapse stack (Matrix) from their Helm documentation wasn't too difficult. I have not tested the voice chat super thoroughly yet, but the text chat is working great. The hardest part was formatting some of the config files correctly so it would use them properly.https://github.com/element-hq/ess-helm/tree/main

  • Self hosting TS6 is as simple as running the file and port forwarding setup on your router. I have not tried using it with anyone else yet, as I was not satisfied with the lack of persistent text chat, but setting it up is pretty easy.

    If you're familiar with Docker they have a Docker compose file example as well.

  • Thoughts about my (potential) first server?

    Jump

  • I got 3 Seagate Exos X16 14 TB drives for only $140 each (refurbished) at the end of 2022. I've got them in TrueNAS as a zfs array and they work great.

    Mine were the SATA version, which isn't currently in stock. The SAS version of my drives go for $299 now. The SATA X14 version is $350.

    So prices for the same refurbished drives are more than double what they were like 3.5 years ago, so they really are expensive! I paid like $10 per TB, but they're all $15-25 per TB now! I was looking for drives for a friend who wants to get started self hosting, and I was shocked by how much refurb drives had gone up.

    This is all from https://serverpartdeals.com/ by the way, I'm assuming that's the site you mean too.

  • Discord keeps walking into rakes, but TeamSpeak is thriving after 'incredible surge of new users'

    Jump

  • Correct. 32 people connected to voice simultaneously, but there isn't persistent text chat. So really, only 32 users at a time, at all. The lack of text made me set up a Matrix homeserver instead.
