The main thing I would point to is that Matrix itself only does text; the Element client uses Jitsi to add in audio/video calls and screensharing [...]

Matrix VoIP is a thing, and it's usable for audio & video on many clients, element and fluffychat come to mind, but probably more.

element call is also coming into element (and possibly other clients) for video calls and screensharing

My other gripes are just with the user interface, [...] it really doesn’t look like Discord

why does that matter?

why not matrix?

No way, really who could've guessed? I'm shocked, I'm telling you shocked...

oh wait, I'm not

wouldn't it have been easier to just read the source code? (not that GNU's code is easy to read, but still)

That’s not the issue. You can attempt as many passwords as you want in actually secure password managers as well. KeepassXC for instance IS secure, you can still brute force the password, but because of the hashing algorithm they use it’s extremely hard. With PKZIP if you know some of the words in the file, you can easily guess the password in just a few hours because the encryption algorithm it uses isn’t secure

~~It is~~

EDIT: I'm wrong, I don't know what I was thinking, I misremembered hearing something apparently. Thank you for the corrections

Thank you! More people should do this. It may seem like $5 is nothing, but it’s actually great help. Even $1 helps out FOSS projects, as if even just 1% of the users of such projects donated $1 each month that’d be able to make a good income,

The UK has a data protection agency? Does the UK know? Have they been asleep for the past 20 years?

How about using LDAP? It's a bit complicated to learn but it's easy to integrate it in a bunch of applications and it allows you to manage user accounts and permissions in one central place.

Maybe try LLDAP which is a modern implementation (haven't used it myself) which is designed to be simplified and I assume more welcoming to newcomers.

I believe that the following IP ranges

  • 103.231.144.0/24
  • 192.31.196.0/24
  • 216.176.216.0/21
  • 199.248.239.0/24
  • 192.198.30.0/24
  • 69.12.98.42

are engaged in highly suspicious activities

furthermore I can definitely say that I found some dirty pirates hiding at the following ip ranges:

  • 175.45.176.0/24
  • 175.45.177.0/24
  • 175.45.178.0/24
  • 175.45.179.0/24

my research clearly shows proof that those people are not just pirates but also engaged in highly illegal activities such as stealing BILLIONS of dollars and hacking who knows how many servers, and that's only the crimes one can talk about online.


if you don't get the jokeno, I didn't share IPs that anyone here would ever have, I guarantee it, if you don't get the joke look up "bogon routes" and then look up which ASN owns the other set.

It looks more legit than people who use 192.168.0.0/16, 8.8.8.8, 127.0.0.1, or any other things like that because most people don't know about those.

Also bonus info:

here's a tip for you, if you're a sysadmin just go ahead and ban those IP ranges on your machines, if you ever get packets from them it's an attack 99.999999% of the time (I guess unless you have customers in north korea? in which case only block the first ones and all other bogon routes)

I don’t think Boost is open source

oh, so that's why it has ads, they don't care about their users... alright... I'm not interested in this conversation anymore

 

I'm a software engineer and I love actual technology, but I think we have reached the peak of mt. stupid
