What’s going to pay for the search part, then?

Conduit is in no way compact either. I tuned its caches because two gigs of ram seemed ridiculous for a single-user instance but I only got the mobile client sync lag as a result.

XMPP used to be so much nicer…

I think the point here is moving away from long-lived ssh keys and using whatever IdP you have (enterprise cloud or local oidc) to provide short-term ssh keys. It generally improves the security posture as it’s similar to ssh with certs but less painful to set up.

This is the best answer. Your router protects you from the outside, but a local firewall can protect you from someone prodding your lan from a hacked camera or some other IoT device. By having a firewall locally you just minimize the attack surface further.

Unfortunately, matrix doesn’t have a viable plan for federation, meaning that you’d better onboard on matrix.org or else.

People saying self-hosting mastodon is hard never had to touch matrix. It’s not hard, the protocol is literally broken to the point where starting again is not an option.

I’m all in for ditching discord, but matrix is at most mediocre in almost every aspect. It’s wild how much easier it used to be with xmpp.

First party app, yes. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give swiftfin a try.

Jellyfin looks pretty bad on an iPad. Subtitles setting keep getting reset on their own, it doesn’t understand basic keyboard controls (spacebar to pause), the UI is overall tiny. Oftentimes it will forget to save the spot where I finished watching and on the next launch will happily play the movie from beginning.

Matrix is spectacularly cursed to the point of being unusable if you self-host it. The protocol is dumb enough to lock you out of rooms hosted on another server forever if anything goes wrong with the key rotation.
