XMPP is an old protocol. GTalk (google talk) and Whatsapp used it, then extended it, then didn't give back to the community. So here we are...

The problem with alternative protocols and apps and whatnot is that people are reluctant to change and won't try anything new if only 2-3 other people use that protocol/service. I can't even convince my best friends to use Signal, let alone XMPP.

It's still a server. A file server in this case.

Piracy is not breaking the law. Fuck capitalism!

clmbmb , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why?

I don't think that's true anymore. I moved my .eu to porkbun (which is an American company) and it works. Also, I just tried registering a new .eu domain with them and it works - and they have very good prices! (I'm not affiliated with them)

clmbmb , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago) to Selfhosted in Docker - what use is it?

The answer is yes in both cases.

1. Docker has an internal networking setup. You can create a "network" and all containers in that network communicate with each other, but not with other containers in other networks. So you can set up a VPN container in a network and all containers in that netowrk could use the VPN to route their traffic through.
2. You can configure your VPN container to expose some ports that it uses to communicate, and then the "regular applications" can make use of those ports to connect through the VPN.

If you have tons of CPUs and RAM, yes.

XDG doesn't mean you need a GUI. XDG is a specification on how to set up config, cache, etc. directories. aria2 should work without setting anything up.

What's wrong with APC? I have one for 6-7 years. I've changed the battery once and I think I'll have to change it again this year. I didn't have any problems with it.

clmbmb , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in How much of what you self-host do you keep LAN only over making accessible across the internet?

Same here. Taught my wife how to start WireGuard on her android phone and then access any of the services I run. This way I only have one port open and don't have to worry too much.
