I know someone who’s literally making that right now. Remind me in a week, I’ll send you the link. He’ll probably be done by then.

For XMPP, have you looked into using snikket? It does most things you’d want out of the box without having to setup extensions yourself.

I got into ocaml recently. I love it. I honestly don’t see issues with the syntax, maybe because I haven’t used it enough.

Which sites or apps does it not pop up? It is rare for it not to pop up for me.

Here is a docker compose: https://snikket.org/service/resources/docker-compose.yml

You only two configuration options in the config file: domain and email.

Arch works well for gaming. However, depending on what you’re doing, you should keep this in mind:

• on any distro, updates may break things or change the behavior of apps. The difference in arch is that youll update no less than weekly on average, maybe biweekly at worst. This would matter more if you have a complex setup. If you’re just using steam, I wouldn’t worry
• arch only uses the latest versions of software. If you ever install something from outside the arch repos, you have to make sure it is compatible with recent versions. Sometimes it may not be.

I’ve been wanting to do this exact thing. I already have wireguard setup. Please update us if you do this.

This makes matrix even less attractive to me lol. But you’re right, that’s a very good point.

cumbersome to parse

Parsers have already existed for so long in every major language. Why need to worry about parsing?

And why need to worry about transports working differently if they achieve the same thing? They seem similarly convenient if I understood what you said correctly

Why is JSON better than XML? It’s more modern, sure, but from technical perspective it is not objectively better right? Not something worth switching protocols for.

You mention XMPP has transports as opposed to Matrix bridges. I thought they give you roughly the same outcome. What’s the difference?

I just unpinned the post. I figured there may be others bothered by this, and plus its been enough weeks at this point. Thanks for voicing this to me :)

Outside of academia, would you say it still provides significant upside over markdown?

I’m sorry I don’t know of any way to do that :( does it appear even when you’re browsing your main feed??

Is it practical outside of academia? I heard the learning curve is kinda big

Markdown is awesome, I agree! I did not realize you could extend markdown with anything other than html. The html extension is quite nice to do anything that markdown doesn’t support natively, but I wish there was an easier way to extend markdown. Maybe the ones you listed are what I need.

Can you please explain what this is?

Why not matrix?

It uses the arkenfox thingie. It doesn’t block JS, but it does block a lot of things and possibly certain JS features.

Doesn’t work on Mull browser (hardened Firefox for android) :(

I’m aware of tails, but I am not confident it qualifies. With Tails, I still connect through my own Internet connection, presumably. I know using tor obfuscates this, but is it to the degree of, say, Monero?

Moreover, I am still at the mercy of the platform I use. Most of them require email or phone verification, and creating an account with lots of data sent over from the clients.

Tails is a necessary component, but the platform is also important.
