I have been running this as the beta under Linux already and there are definitely some nice improvements.

Probably not, but you can likely improvise by binding the audio mute to a button in your OS.

But I also think Mumble is the better solution, but of course not p2p.

The bigger question is why Matrix didn’t follow the long established standard for this, which is using @.

But I guess it fits into the general pattern of: Monolithic, Awefully Trendy ReImplementation of XMPP (MATRIX).

P.S.: it’s nice to be able to have your ActivityPub, XMPP and Email all on the same address 👍

Seems like an obvious suggestion, but Nextcloud can do that quite well.

That seems like a fun toy. Thanks for sharing.

Especially when starting out it can also be quite helpful to have a screen and keyboard attached to the server and not only SSH access.

To prevent battery issues it is often possible to limit the charge level in the bios.

Small communities don’t see much of that because only people actively subscribing usually get to see the posts. But once a community gets big enough for upvotes causing it to show up in the all feed on other instances the trolls and debate-bros show up.

Many things are very similar on Linux compared to Windows (e.g. Browsing, Steam). One big difference is that people prefer using package managers to install software (instead of downloading and installing it manually).

This. Especially for drivers, always use the package manager of your distro and do not attempt to manually install Nvidia drivers you downloaded from their website.

Makes fun memes.

So that the roomba doesn’t get bored.

Yes, you could continue using the old unmaintained app, but this is similar to using old proprietary app versions that lack security updates and are always at risk of stopping to work due to some changes in your OS. So that is far from ideal.

Non-commercial is really not well defined legally. For example in Germany, a public tax funded broadcaster was found in breach of a CC-BY-NC license for using an image on their website. And many similar legal examples exist. So basically anything that involves a service offered to more than one person, even if totally free and donation funded, is not safe from litigation.

And obviously, if upstream changes the license to something that triggers a hostile fork, it is unlikely that you will get a commercial license for that hostile fork. Furthermore, even if you somehow can make a deal, you will always remain hostage of that proprietary license.

FOSS licenses are explicitly designed to protect the users of the software from such potentially abusive licensing, so I really don’t think anyone will see this as an improvement.

You could probably approximate something similar with Odoo. It is a big ERP, but all modular, so you can just remove the parts that are too complex.

Well, if they want to try that they are of course free to try, but the argument has a big gaping hole:

They might not ever change the license terms afterwards for software already on your hard-drive, but they absolutely can do so for updates and likely will. Normally that would result in a fork if the new terms are bad, but who would be willing to fork software under a restrictive non-commercial license that doesn’t even allow you to collect donations for running the infrastructure?

So in the end you are basically back at square one with nothing but nice promises by them and still vendor locked.

Looks quite nice, and at least it isn’t a Quest exclusive title.

Everspace 2 never got VR even though I think it was suggested at some point during the kickstarter.

Being worked on apparently.

Is a new option I recently learned about.

Like a sister comment here already said, mini-ITX boards and cases often come with unexpected space contraints, and annoying things like the RAM not fitting under the CPU cooler etc.

You will probably save yourself some hassle if you go for one of these N100 NAS boards that come with a soldered on CPU and a built in cooler.
