I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.
Looking for a simple self hosted chat system for non technical end users.
We got everyone off FB messaging to sms but the android peeps have old devices which I think is part of why they see blurry low res images sent from iPhones. Or Apple botched RCS implementation.
I have a Synology nas and have tried syno chat (clunky) and rocket chat via docker (too many bells and whistles and overly complex onboarding of end users)
Suggestions?
Anything that can spin up in a docker instance, I will try.
At the start of the pandemic, I had been already working from home for about six years and was very comfortable with the video meetings.
The majority of the company was new to it though, and they were doing video calls for the first time due to offices temporarily closed for the plague. When I attended some meeting outside of my usual group it was a revelation for many that you could have fun with it.
Most didn't know about having custom backgrounds, for instance.
So much vibe coding going on in the maker circles I am following online. Very off-putting. I mean, it gets them going in the direction they think they want to go, but at what cost?
They don't understand what they've (partially) built and are asking for help. Umm, no help from me. No thanks, that is some thin ice on top of the liquid manure pit you're skating on there.
Just refilled the dogs’ water bowl, filtered from the fridge. Which is funny because both will drink out of mud puddles if you don’t watch out, and one likes to eat poop hot off the roller.
I'll note that there are various videos and articles available online on building homemade LRAD systems. Maybe someone could point one of those at the ICE 'officers' ?
Or, just get a shovel out of the shed and have at it. Makeshift pole arms FTW.
My aged-out iMac can't run anything newer than MacOS 13 and home-brew is starting to not be able to install certain things anymore. Oh well. Installing a Debian vm in slight annoyance to run some automated fediverse things.
What a bunch of fuckups our local paper has running it.

Found my old high school math calculator. Circa 1986 according to Wikipedia. It’s survived quite a few prairie winters in various cars parked on the street.
"D&D 2024 Class Optimisation Guide". -->. No thanks. I prefer my character builds to be flawed in hopefully interesting ways, and then the fun comes from working with/around said flaws.
