Fingers crossed for fluxer but we’ve yet to see if it’s self hosting meets basic requirements yet like no outside server contact, no centralised accounts etc
That Lightbulb one is amazing
Does someone self host this ? I’m fidgeting with the idea to run this or Element for one or two friends group, how this affects your PC and your internet speed ?
I’m hosting fluxer and matrix, but fluxer is fantastic. One consideration, for some reason the documentation doesn’t tell you that you need to go to the admin page, create a voice region, and a voice server, to actually use the voice chat that’s part of the guide.
If you want a mature ecosystem, try out matrix, although it is much harder to figure out how to host it.
If you want something that’s intended to be a perfect discord replacement, go with fluxer, they did an amazing job with the self hosting guide.
Wdym “this”? Fluxer?
Yup
Has anyone used ROMM? How is it?
hosting it since long time… Amazing! Great to be able to play directly in browser. My kid loves it…
This is good I think…is it ptp encrypted???. I’m using simplex at the moment.

Dark mode, view current location, anonymous likes
I love that Habitat releases automatically get a mention here now! But just to set the record straight: there is no “anonymous likes” functionality, this will be referring to the change in which you now see a message encouraging you to log in or create an account when attempting to “like” a post. Who knew people actually read the changelog! I’ll be more careful with the wording in there going forward.
I’m going to have to give Ignis Note-Taking app a try. Skimming the github it appears to be a front end for Obsidian that runs in your browser. You don’t need VNC to access it. That’s worth checking out. The Linuxserver Obsidian version uses VNC to admin and take notes which was always a point of contention.
Wow, this is the first I’ve seen the reduction of Oracle free tier - will dig into that before I get an unexpected bill!
Fluxer? I hardly know 'er!
Despite coming from Epic, lore seems really interesting (and potentially pretty useful) for my use.
I’m waiting to see if a bill goes through in my country before pushing my friends into a self hosted messenger but it’ll probably be something xmpp based.
Movim seemed cool
