Websites don’t typically use the device location services.

I’m assuming that if you open up google maps, the GPS triangulated location shown there is correct?

Websites will determine where you are, typically, based of IP, but this is not always reliable. And especially on cellular, your IP will change every now and then.

Kind of a dick move, upping someone’s energy level right as they’re supposed to be getting sleepy.

Oh that’s new for me. I’ve been using alternativeto.com

Communities cannot be fully “deleted”.

They can only be “deleted” in the sense that they disappear for everyone.

You, as a mod, can still see and restore the community. To get rid of it from your list, you’d have to be unassigned as a mod. I don’t think that’s possible if you’re the only mod in a community.

Stalk active users and see where they post.

SteamOS (the deck) does have printer support now.

Valve does seem to be putting affort into making sure the desktop mode is a complete experience.

You should look for room-directories.

These are matrix spaces that collect public rooms on various topics.

I only know of matrix-suomi, a space for a bunch of finnish rooms. #matrix-suomi:kapsi.fi

Eeeeewwww!

Don’t you dare stop!

I’m mostly hyped to find something that can sync media to local storage on something like a laptop, without it just being a bunch of files in a folder you play in vlc.

It also runs in a browser. I’m testing replacing the default webUI with it.

Once it’s on the app store, it’ll basically be available on everything. The same UI everywhere, but with features like offline media, unlike the default webUI.

Just found Fladder, too. It’s even better, imo.

Works on desktop operating systems, even.

Weird.

I’m not sure what you should try next, but it seems pretty clear the problem lies eith your cinny instance.

Nextcloud Office (aka Collabora) has been the nicest in my experience.

I came from google drive. I did a google takeout of my drive contents, dumped it into nextcloud, and every document so far has opened without trouble.

The standby power of a desktop is not that massive. Especially when you don’t run a GPU or display. That windows 8 machine you have is probably fine as-is.

An ATX PSU doesn’t suck down 500 watts at all times, just because the sticker on it says it can. How much power your machine will use will depend much more on the CPU.

So just slap linux on it and have at it. If nothing else, you’ll get familiar with the software involved, and be better prepared if you end up wanting to buy new hardware for this.

There’s not really any lock-in with linux. Almost any piece of software you might run can be run on almost any distro you might consider using.

This should not matter. If you already have it working with client not hosted by you, ports aren’t the problem.

No.

I meant loading up your instance of cinny, but on a different device.

Then, for some reason, the cinny client can’t connect to your homeserver.

Did you try loading up the client on a different device?

With the config file, does matrix.org still work?

Cross-platform, too! Neat.

Now I have a new client to recommend to my dad. Findroid is android only. (As the name suggests)
