BTW, today we released #PeerTube v3, complete with p2p live streaming features and a behind-the-scene short film.
Read more about it on our blog (and please share 😉) https://framablog.org/2021/01/07/peertube-v3-its-a-live-a-liiiiive/

@ColinTheMathmo @kravietz Matrix is the protocol and Element is the most popular client.While Element has most features and is developed directly by the Matrix staff,there are still some great alternative clients so in my opinion it makes more sense to point to the protocol instead of one particular client if I'm talking with a person with experience in decentralized services.When talking to a end-user without much knowledge about computers and the internet,it's in fact better to directly link to Element.

re WhatsApp. The new rules are completely illegal in the EU. GDPR says you cannot restrict access to a service by forcing people to accept terms for their data unrelated to the running of the service e.g. for advertising.

good thing we dumped all the money into the military to defend our nation from these outside agitators

@ColinTheMathmo @admin I'll try to explain better:
Whatsapp is an enterprise that has centrelized servers. So you can only create an account and connect through their servers.
Matrix is a comunication protocol developed by an ONG. Any server using this protocol can communicate between them. If you register into server A you can speak to an account in server B running matrix.
In email, you register to a provider, but can send messages to other users using other providers. It's the same.
As a user, you have to register in a specific server (in whatsapp, you register to their own). There are "official" apps in desktop and mobile, and also unofficial. For official I mean developed by the same Matrix.org ONG.
There is a lot of information in their web https://matrix.org

@ColinTheMathmo @admin Several servers that federate and are able to communicate between them, more or less as email or fediverse works...

#docker why would you use modern template-based configuration management if you can use monster sed scripts from 80's based on random undocumented environment variables? 🤦♂️ 💥 #openoffice

Hello!
My name is Dave and I'm 40-something human male, living in lock-down in London.
I enjoy taking things apart and then trying to put them back together again (biological (for work) and electrical (for fun and for work)). Linux user and sometimes sysadmin, privacy advocate, and occasional femtobrewer.
For this, my #introduction toot, I present these photographic offerings of a spoilt dog and a smug alley cat. You're bound to like one or both.
This one is from today and has been already linked with the infamous "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" quote, which seems to be highly selectively applied here
As it comes out, this January 2020 photo from Capitol building in Frankfurt, Kentucky, was kind of prophetic. How many fans of Russian camo & weapons today? #capitolbuilding

Meanwhile 2 million people are using a Chrome extension which was secretively modified months ago to connect to various third party servers and execute code from them, "with the power to modify any and all websites that you see"

Ooooooooh my god the students spent like 5 hours yesterday cleaning the lenses in dozens of lamps with citrus dissolver liquid instead of water. Every single one needs redoing and if they had lens coatings they’re fucked. Christ on a bike. *please* teach your students that when in doubt, don’t use a solvent
I've been using GEForce Now for a few weeks now and quite impressed - the idea is simple: just run GPU-intensive games on remote servers with RDP-like control protocol and it works.
