Which Proton version are you using? try using Proton Experimental or trying out other versions to see what works.

Do new torrents bypass this somehow, or is it just by sheer volume and popularity ?

On a related, is there a list of good open source strategy games? I’m especially interested in grand strategy.

We really need more mobile strategy games. Seems like the right platform.

Weird question, but what does GnuCash do that you wouldn’t get easily from excel? I haven’t used any of these apps and wondering what I’m missing out on.

If you’re using something like tor, and rotate on every single search, then that would be ideal.

I assume you’re not using tor. That means all your searches can still be linked to you via the network source (ip address, etc.). Google can also use your search patterns to fingerprint you.

It may be one of the better solutions, but there are certainly privacy implications

Its best to use a protocol that doesn’t allow unencrypted messages

This is an implementation thing and not a protocol thing. What protocol doesn’t allow unencrypted messages? I am sure signal’s protocol would still allow it, it’s just that the implementation doesn’t.

And same for XMPP. Just go with the implementation that doesn’t.

Unless you pay from the exchange’s wallet

Sounds like clickbait

So what is the benefit for the common person, now?

I know someone who’s literally making that right now. Remind me in a week, I’ll send you the link. He’ll probably be done by then.

For XMPP, have you looked into using snikket? It does most things you’d want out of the box without having to setup extensions yourself.

Which sites or apps does it not pop up? It is rare for it not to pop up for me.

Here is a docker compose: https://snikket.org/service/resources/docker-compose.yml

You only two configuration options in the config file: domain and email.

I’ve been wanting to do this exact thing. I already have wireguard setup. Please update us if you do this.

This makes matrix even less attractive to me lol. But you’re right, that’s a very good point.

cumbersome to parse

Parsers have already existed for so long in every major language. Why need to worry about parsing?

And why need to worry about transports working differently if they achieve the same thing? They seem similarly convenient if I understood what you said correctly

Why is JSON better than XML? It’s more modern, sure, but from technical perspective it is not objectively better right? Not something worth switching protocols for.

You mention XMPP has transports as opposed to Matrix bridges. I thought they give you roughly the same outcome. What’s the difference?

From a quick look into XMPP’s clients for android, they seem nice and some have modern features too.

Is there any technical limitation that would prevent xmpp client from having a WhatsApp-like UI?? WhatsApp started out with XMPP and probably still uses a variant of it. If anything, I’d imagine its harder with matrix given the complexity of the protocol.
