With per-user settings and slightly less RAM used. Yes this is a shameless self-promotion from a mod of this community, I hope that's fine!

What the fuck did I just read. She called the cops, they insist on getting in after she thanks them, and she gets headshot because she has water boiling in her house. What the actual fuck is going on in the US?

Pretty fuckin' cool if you ask me.

Matrix tries to kill XMPP but the reality is that if you want to self-host, XMPP is much less of a hassle. Also, Matrix is an open standard as in "pay big money to participate in the openness". https://matrix.org/blog/2022/12/01/funding-matrix-via-the-matrix-org-foundation/

(I'm the maintainer) I do use the messenger bridge and it works for me, without disconnection issues.

But what is dead may never die!

[–] nicocool84@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Nah, because it's like no text for 30 secs, then "3 lines per second" (faster than you can read), then more or less synced, then again too slow/too fast. That teletext explanation someone else gave is more plausible. I cannot believe that the original are that bad, so my guess is that the way they're ripped has issues.

Yes, it's totally fantastic, and I'm not biased at all when I talk about it. xD

It does support a crazy amount of networks (it uses libpurple which is the lib of pidgin), unfortunately it lacks modern features and even groups don't work that well. I actually started to work on slidge because I was fed up with spectrum2's limitations and realised that spectrum2's maintainer think, like many others, that XMPP is dead...

Oh that "teletext" thing I guess, I get it. I remember using subtitles from this source in France in the 90s, and it was never that off sync. I guess the way they're ripped may make the offsyncedness worse.

 

For this one show (John Oliver) I download, I always get ALL CAPS and poorly synced subtitles. The text seems OK, but it's barely usable because very off-sync. I'm curious: where do these subs come from?

[–] nicocool84@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

It's excellent. Too bad there is no lidarr integration yet. I manually run beet import once a download is done, but I'd like to automate that at some point.

I use beets and soulseek but my ambitions are lower than yours.
