Question: self-hosted instant messanger. in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] nhowell77@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

I host Rocket.Chat for my wife's business. The free self-hosted version now allows up to 50 users before having to purchase a license (was 25 prior to the version 7 update). If you kick a user you simply deactivate their account and regain the user slot. Rather than deleting a user completely which would additionally delete any messages they've posted.

Easy to host, easy to upgrade. Mobile apps both IOS and Android work well.

I wanted to use Zulip as I felt the interface was cleaner. But the 10 user limit was a deal breaker.

Good luck. Fingers crossed it's your solution, and an easy one at that.

Quick web search led me to this which is an Acer owner trying to install PopOS. Likely similar steps that you will need to follow to be successful.

That's not what the other poster said. He said "Non Featured" servers. You have to do a DNS hack on the switch to connect to a private server.

Second this comment. I have had minimal to no issues running D4 through Steam. Was never able to get it running via Lutris.

Seems like maybe a good use for Kasm Workspaces. Use persistence in each session to save settings, files etc...

I didn't know where else to ask this, if there is another comm i should ask please lmk. Do you have any suggestions for wireless headphones i can use with linux? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Just bought a set of Razer Barracuda X headphones at good ol Walmart for $69.99. They can connect one of 3 ways,

USB-C 2.4ghz Wireless Bluetooth Analog audio cable.

I plugged in the USB-C adapter and they worked without a hits.

For specs of the machine they are connected to..

Acer Nitro 5 Laptop Intel I7 processor nVidia 4050 GPU

Endeavour OS

Tested with the latest kernel 6.6.9, and the LTS kernel

No fuss. Just work. Have not tried Bluetooth connection, or analog since the RF worked out of the box.

Favourite Software for hosting E-Books in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I use Jellyfin. You have to install the Bookshelf plugin (or at least I didn't the time I set it up, may be a default now). Saves progress, and gives me one less service to manage as I use Jellyfin for Movies, TV, and Music libraries already.

Is there an alternative to "motherfucker" that people would actually use? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I'm good with sticking with plain old motherfucker and have absolutely zero intention of replacing it with some convoluted bullshit alternative. I figure if he/she/it/they/them are offended by my use of the word motherfucker then it's aimed at he/she/it/they/them anyway and all those motherfuckers can get fucked and stay fucked. Tired of catering to everyone's sensibilities. Grow a pair, or a twat, put on your grown up panties and get the fuck over it.
