• Disputes can be brought to tribunal
• Everyone of full age and sound mind gets a vote
• Previous tribunal decisions can be applied without voting again if the dispute is similar enough

Basically some sort of democratic case law

Electricity vs. energy. Electricity is only part of energy.

I hope it is going to be ok. Automattic has been involved with matrix before. Time will tell, but I’m more hopeful than afraid.

I tried to compare some backup solutions a while back: https://hedgedoc.ptman.name/kket4uo9RLiJRnOhkCzvWw#

Forget about docker. Run caddy or some similar webserver that is a single file next to the assets to serve.

How full is your ZFS? ZFS doesn’t handle disk filling and fragmentation well.

Linux is quite lightweight. Pick a distro that doesn't run a lot of stuff by default. OpenBSD only runs sshd exposed to the network, AFAIR. Debian probably does the same. But really, the lightness comes from what isn't running. NixOS, fedora, rocky, alpine are all decent alternatives.

Yes, because for large public rooms it makes no sense as anyone can leak the message contents anyway and e2ee is expensive for large rooms.

Make a spreadsheet of where your money is going.

Or then you can just realize that the time you spend is spent not making money and you need to save time, not services.

• Flatness. UI controls need to be recognizable.
• Theming/styling. A button should look like button.
• Lack of menus. Discoverability is poor if you don't have a list of things in an obvious place.
• Gestures. Lack of discoverability.
• Information density. I don't care about huge margins and filler pictures. Content shouldn't be crammed, but space should be used efficiently.
• Mobile first. Especially if mobile use is only a fraction of actual use. Or maybe even if it is the majority of users, but not majority of use (operations, hours).
• Simplicity. Make simple things simple, but hard things possible. Removing features can make your software useless.

Sweden is a monarchy, they have a king, not a president. But in this case it seems to be the prime minister

2. Matrix is viable. There are https://view.matrix.org and soon https://archive.matrix.org/ for indexing by crawlers
3. https://servers.joinmatrix.org/ isn't quite the same as https://discord.com/servers. Joinmatrix lists matrix home servers, like gmail, hotmail, yahoo, … for email. But once you have an account on a home server, you can use the "explore" feature to browse rooms known to that server (or another that has public room directory). There is not central place to list all, since there is not single central matrix server. Same with lemmy. You need to use https://lemmyverse.net/communities

I’ve read some old DOS manual. And several Linux books back from the days when Linux came on CDs alongside books.

There are different kinds of documentation https://diataxis.fr/

HP Microserver + openmediavault or similar.

Yeah, forgot the interrobang. But really, air travel is a problem. It needs to be minimized. Not increased. Especially not increased in amount of greenhouse gas emissions per distance flown per person
