I selfhost a matrix instance just for myself and my bots. And send myself notifications to the phone client element. I can even trigger a fake VoIP phone call for really important stuff.
Notifications come through as any other message app notification. And calls do the same.
In order to get all notifications and not destroy your phone battery I found out that you need to download the google play version as you need google services for notifications.
I doubt is satire as the project was truly linked with trans groups.
Probably they just count as experience things that are probably not truly experience or maybe there’s a lot that’s being untold there.
Just last week I was setting up a matrix server.
I considered conduwuit but I had a feeling this might happen. Happy to stick with Synapse. It’s just a shane that it’s written in freaking python.
I’ve been thinking for years. Maybe there’s a way to do a collaborative crawler and indexer. In a similar way on how collaborative science is done. And probably using p2p protocols.
Get a bunch of people together to create the perfect search engine in these dire times.
I don’t know fully what’s they are doing. But here’s my workflow with watchtower.
I have a cron task that runs watchtower every day on monitor-mode and only-once one time a day. That creates a list on what containers can be uograded. They using shourrr (it’s already integrated with watchtower it’s just an environment variable to do this) I send myself a message to my phone informing me of what updates are available. If I see fit to upgrade everything I just run watchtower once without monitor mode to upgrade all. I have pendant to automate this last part in a way that I just answer to the bot that’s informing me of the updates and should apply the command without having me ssh into the server. But as for now I have to ssh and run a script I have at hand to launch the upgrade with watchtower.
There are some problematic containers that I don’t want to upgrade this way. For those I have their compose files version locked and I upgrade them manually when I want.
This. Except for a few projects that have given me headaches for an automatic update before (I’m looking at you Jellyfin). Those I have them locked to a version and only upgrade when I think it’s truly stable (spoiler: stable release was not stable) and when I know I will have time to fix things that may broke.
Not at all. I have my instance sitting on 100MG of RAM and 0% cpu usage. There’s only 3 users that barely use it, but there it is.
It scales by number of users.
It’s true that it’s a resource hog, due to being written in python (who the hell though that), but it all depends on usage.
