I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Matrix is the communication protocol between clients and servers. It can’t dictate how a client displays those communications. It would be like TCP demanding that webpages be laid out a certain way.

StreetComplete is a great way to help fill in the blanks!

I much prefer QT. The GTK ethos since Gnome 3 is basically: “We’re making this for our own needs, we don’t care about what you want”

And while I sympathize and understand the frustrations that downstream brings, I don’t think any project not part of Gnome/GIMP should be building on it.

QT is built from the ground up to be used by anyone, regardless of needs or use case. It’s a better fit for building complex software like desktop environments.

Ah, damn.

The open source complaint has been done to death. It doesn’t match the FSF definition of open source, but for many people the moral difference between the FSF and the FUTO licenses and development methodologies are negligible.

I’m not going to defend the FUTO management, they’re the “neutral but actually right leaning” sort of libertarians. BUT FUTO itself has been doing good things funding important work in the open source community.

I think using Grayjay is completely unharmful and doesn’t benefit FUTO management at all.

Donating to FUTO instead of directly donating to the projects they fund (like Immich) is probably not the best choice though.

This is how most of Worf’s friends learn he has a child.

For those curious like myself

What is Amber?

Amber is a programming language compiled into Bash Script. It was designed with a modern syntax, safety features, type safety and practical functionalities that Bash could not offer.

I ran vanilla Arch on 3 machines for over 15 years, but these days I just use Endeavor. Easy install, sane defaults, and then hands you a fully working and customizable arch. Absolutely love the project.

Blocky.

I mean, by definition, it does. It just involves parsing through the git log and a bunch of unintuitive, archaic commands.

Broke my 'arr stack for a few days while I worked on getting port forwarding from ProtonVPN working in Gluetun, then works on getting a matching dockermod activated in qbittorrent. But it works now! And my whole 'arr stack is attached to the VPN and I have the forwarded port active for my private trackers.

Adding here. Most docker containers support semver pinning! It’s a great balance between automated updates and advoiding breakage.

I’d recommend a solid backup client. This isn’t something you want to find broken when you need it.

Kopia is what I use, and it supports local (LAN) targets, as well as cloud storage if you want 3:2:1 for some or all of your data. Good luck!

Theres a Romm app in ports you can use for this.

I was interested until I saw the crypto stakes to vote on changes baked in.

Similar setup here with a 7900xtx, works great and the 20-30b models are honestly pretty good these days. Magistral, Qwen 3 Coder, GPT-OSS are most of what I use

Good luck! It’s been fantastic for me.

I don’t use aquasuite, I use Linux with Cooler Control. Sorry, I assumed you were also on Linux with the sub.

I use an Aquacomputer Quadro, which has fantastic support.

Yeah, similar sized environments here too, but had good experiences with Ansible. Saw Chef struggle at even smaller scales. And Puppet. And Saltstack. But I’ve also seen all of them succeed too. Like most things it depends on how you run it. Nothing is a perfect solution. But I think Ansible has few game breaking tradeoffs for it’s advantages.
