its often a bug, because the clients who have the keys don’t know they should retry sending.
but also it’s all been fixed a year ago as I know. I don’t usually use dm rooms and public ones are not encrypted, so I wouldn’t know if I didn’t read about it.
matthew the ceo addressed aot of the criticisms recently, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyuqM7RbX5E

other than that, push notifications work fine for me with Ntfy. but as I heard matrix.org hs users have problems, possibly because of serverside firewall issues, investigation is stuck somehow
definetly report the problem. there’s a function for it in the app, 3 points menu on the chat list menu, use it after making those errors show up. tick the contact me box. ceo recommends to also notify himself directly: https://gist.github.com/ara4n/190ad712965d0f06e17f508d1a45b554
afaik those errors can’t really be solved by users. I mean other than using an up to date client and server.
a little correction: its not VLC that misses the codec, but the distribution. most distros dont risk distributing hardware acceleration drivers for h264 and a few others because of patents
that’s strange, what filesystem was that? windows cannot handle linux filesystems, by itself.
wasn’t that /boot/efi? if so windows uses that too, it’s a designated fat32 partition for uefi bootables.
but it is sensitive data. the webserver can send executable code to the web browser. if it does not that doesn’t matter, what matters is that it can be inserted by a middleman. It’s not like there’s a dedicated person needed to do that, it can just happen automatically.
you and perhaps @[email protected], may I ask if you use samba with portable devices, like laptops?
I do and my experience is that programs that try to access it when I don’t have network access tend to freeze, including my desktop environment, but any file managers too if I click the wrong place by accident. but it occurs enough without user action too.
oh and it breaks all machines at once if the server or network is down. which is rare but very annoying.
did you experience this too? do you have some advice? is SMB just unsuitable for this?
honestly I would prefer if the cifs driver would keep track of last successful communication, and if it was long ago instantly fail all accesses. without unmounting so that open directories and file handles keep being valid.
and if all software on this world wouldn’t behave as if they were doing IO on the main thread. honestly this went smoother with windows clients but I’m not going back.
where do you run PBS? in a vm on the main proxmox host?
docker in a vm in proxmox!
no but really. I don’t like that the vm host’s kernel is shared with all the containers.
then maybe have 2 or 3 VMs, one of which hosts essential services (not like your nextcloud, but services that are necessary to make the (internal or whole home) network work like DNS and DHCP, maybe monitoring, and another that hosts your convenience services (jellyfin, nextcloud). the first is easier to fix if it breaks, the second is not the end if the world if it does. maybe also have a third for services that would be painful to have offline (nextcloud), but try to limit it to few tasks because the goal is simplicity. this setup can help with distro upgrade difficulties, and vm custom configuration issues when you have set up something that seems to work but will prevent VM startup sometime in the future.
podman could be a good idea too.
there’s the confusion. nobody needs it. it’s not a necessity. it’s a convenience.
a big hassle, like using the web browser? is that what you mean? oh, not the browser, not again! I need my banks app!
android support is not official, so they won’t drop it. and currently we are using a fork of the formerly popular android app because the original’s maintainer (btw one of the original lemmy devs) got fed up with the google play store’s fuckery.
made it harder to deploy? Isn’t it still just a single binary, a config file and a directory for data?
bugs are inevitable for evolving software.
which community oriented features do you mean? are they in the way, or is it just that you don’t need them?
what’s the problem with gitea? I never used gogs so I can’t compare it
that’s not that same security. an observer will still know that you are connecting over HTTPS to a particular doman/IP, maybe they can also deduce that you are using mTLS, and all your other traffic is not protected by it at all. all the while with wireguard, they can see that it’s wireguard traffic, and where it goes, but anything inside is secret, plus if an app uses unencrypted traffic for some reason (smb, dns, custom and special protocols), wireguard will hide and protect that too.
Microsoft’s keys are pre-installed to all motherboards, so boot binaries signed by Microsoft are trusted by default. afaik Microsoft keys often can’t be removed, but not because it’s not possible, but because it can brick devices. you can create your own MOK or Machine Owner Keys and set up your linux system to sign your bootloader and kernel with it, but that is in addition to Microsoft keys.

I don’t think it needs a tutorial, it’s automatic. but some advice:
I think android would be a better base to build on. don’t look at their messy kernel, but the userspace. rip out the brainded, user-hostile limitations that google added in recent years, or reimplement them better, and it’s pretty good.
sure continue pmos development, and plasma mobile and other components, but don’t just ditch out a system that has worked well for so many time and been developed by lots of people by a company who has poured in lots of money
not really. share it over a ducking vpn, done.
