That would be huge and would make me and my friends switch from mumble/discord to matrix. However, i fear that high latency may be an issue.

For me, the benefit of discord is not the text chat but the voice aspect. With push to talk/voice activated transmission and low latency for gaming.

The voice features of matrix are more of a conference call thing.

Until this gets implemented in matrix (not sure if ever) I’ll continue hosting mumble (or TeamSpeak)

That’s not a real picture, the Tesla is photoshopped in (and a bad render at that, not even a picture of a real cybertruck).

You can do a disk benchmark on the server to be sure

Yes your Matrix homeserver does have to run the bridges. So I agree with you - you have to somewhat trust the admins of your Homeserver, or host your own homeserver and bridges. But I understand that the latter is not for everyone.

Which funnily enough, has bridges to Signal, Whatsapp, Discord, Telegram and some more, meaning you wouldn’t have to have as many other clients installed to chat with contacts on those platforms

Because it’s one thing to cruise along with a ship and just unspool some cable into the water but a whole other thing to dig hundreds of miles of trenches deep under water.

Man, can’t wait to never see these fixes on my 4 year old phone…

check out “conversations” its free on f-fdroid and paid in the play store (although from time to time its free there, also)

thank you! more up-to-date packages sound good to me, will have to check out mint, then.

how would you compare Mint to MX Linux? Whats the biggest difference in your opinion?

When selecting a distro to mess around with, i just checked distrowatch to find the most popular distro and chose that (MX). My reasoning was that the resources like wiki/tutorials/forum posts would be most easily available with a more “popular” distro.

You dont need to disable secure boot, you just need to enroll the ventoy keys: https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_secure.html

Alternatively: Firefox for Android + uBlock origin addon works well for me.

Unfortunately, there’s no Sponsor Block addon for Firefox Android.

Switching power supplies (“bricks”) are generally more efficient than linear power supplies because they lose less energy as heat. that’s were the difference comes from. (Of course they have drawbacks as well, like increased noise)

Narcos I think
