    Fingers crossed for fluxer but we’ve yet to see if it’s self hosting meets basic requirements yet like no outside server contact, no centralised accounts etc

    I’m waiting to see if a bill goes through in my country before pushing my friends into a self hosted messenger but it’ll probably be something xmpp based.

    I’m going to have to give Ignis Note-Taking app a try. Skimming the github it appears to be a front end for Obsidian that runs in your browser. You don’t need VNC to access it. That’s worth checking out. The Linuxserver Obsidian version uses VNC to admin and take notes which was always a point of contention.

        I’ve tried Trillium, and not to say it’s trash, indeed it’s a good set up. Something about Obsidian just seems to appeal to my ‘flow’ I guess you’d say.

    Dark mode, view current location, anonymous likes

    I love that Habitat releases automatically get a mention here now! But just to set the record straight: there is no “anonymous likes” functionality, this will be referring to the change in which you now see a message encouraging you to log in or create an account when attempting to “like” a post. Who knew people actually read the changelog! I’ll be more careful with the wording in there going forward.

    Does someone self host this ? I’m fidgeting with the idea to run this or Element for one or two friends group, how this affects your PC and your internet speed ?

      Don’t do Element, Matrix is a nightmare (and a significant commitment) to self host. Other servers (recently, continuwuity) are a bit better on that front, but then you run into compatibility issues and edge cases as a forever second-tier citizen.

      My advice is to just go with XMPP and ejabberd, and you will find clients for all kinds of usages and people (a free-er WhatsApp takes you to Conversations/Quicksy/Cheogram/Monocles/Monal, a better banquet/IRC-style rooms takes you to gajim/fluux, social networking and group calling takes you to Movim, etc).

      Personally my needs are covered by Monocles on Android, Gajim on the PC, and Movim on occasions. Using multiple clients around the same protocol and account is a strength, not a weakness.
