That’s cool

I’ll check it out, thx

Cool! You don’t need a server specifically for that, a room is enough. Just create an account on a reliable server and create the room. Most big rooms are on matrix.org in my experience, unless it’s some of the big projects from mozilla, gnome or kde but even openstreetmap are on matrix.org

I understand your reasoning. And I understand it for old projects, matrix wasn’t an option 5 or 10 years ago. Almost all modern public projects are on matrix nowadays. Someone said it already, there are also bridges and matrix doesn’t excludr anyone.

Looks cool. Why discord and not matrix?

Xmpp is old and has no traction. Matrix is new and there are many people believing in it. There is a lot of money put on matrix. A lot of people want matrix to succeed. Especially companies, agencies and governments love matrix. Jumping on a train that already moves forward is easier than trying to push a standing train.

With xmpp, or signal I’ve got all my messages on my device. Distributing the info to other devices is difficult. With matrix everything sits on the server and distributes the info to the clients. That’s like my file cloud, or my photo cloud or my music server, or my document server. Everything is saved centrally on a server and all is independent of the consumer device. I can use multiple devices and everything sits on the server. That’s great for me as a user, it’s easy.

Xmpp is scattered which is great on one hand but matrix development is moving very fast. Xmpp can’t compete with that.

What’s the advantage of xmpp over signal for the end user?

The datbase files were saved in an internal docker directory and the breaking change is that the location is now different, outside of docker.

Especially since the original doesn’t care about selinux and it would overwrite everything.

And it doesn’t specify a repository which breaks auto updates of podman

I mounted that volume the first time I opened immich’s compose file, glad they changed it =)

Thx. Apple TV has no android which is a deal breaker
