I mean, wasn’t switch 2 the fastest selling console of all time?

I try to always follow 3-2-1 backups!

Open source is hard to kill off forever. Someone, somewhere is gonna have the repo.

Thanks for the detailed response! Those specs are very close to what I ended up getting a Synapse server running on. I would like to try getting Continuwuity going next and compare.

Very interesting stuff, thanks!

I am not saying it’s exactly the same but that does sound similar to what I am gonna try out. Main my first successful spin up I just have everything in a frankly small VM running on an ssd, but next I’m going to play around with mapping the crucial stuff on that ssd but putting media on my 8TB platter.

Could you explain what makes an S3 bucket better suited than the default storage scheme? No pressure if not, you’ve already been helpful!

Cheers, I appreciate you taking the time to write it out. I’m definitely no pro but I’m on my way to learning this stuff. I’ve heard of S3 but never used it. Maybe I’m oversimplifying, but it just sounds like dedicated cloud storage, maybe that has been optimized for efficiency?

Where I’m at right now is considering using my own storage. I have a lot of platter space, which yes yes I know, that is far from ideal but I was going to try it out and see just how bad the performance was. I’m aiming to host for a pretty small community (>50, probably even >25).

This is unrelated to my question.

Could you expound on what you mean, or how to go about it? Links to documentation would be appreciated.

Welp, I got Synapse deployed before Continuwuity lol

Thanks, I’ll probably need it! I seem to be able to follow along a little bit better with Synapse at least, and there’s more troubleshooting stuff out there for it I think because it’s more widely used.

I’m eager to try out multiple things. Right now I’d settle for whichever I can get set up. The documentation for continuwuity is a little tough for me and my setup right now.

It was genuinely hard for me to find on DDG as well. It kept trying to correct to “continuity” >_>

I did not ask for a recommendation of if I should use or not use Matrix. I stated in OP that I want to play around with it. I will decide if it’s right for my use-case.

I do appreciate that, but even a starting point would be nice.

I have honestly not seen anyone acting like they are “owed” these things by FOSS developers. We just want them.

Please don’t let your cat outdoors without supervision. It is devastating for both the lifespan of your cat and your local ecology.

I’m moving and my friends can either come along or be left behind.

Edited to add, I didn’t expect Lemmy to feel so strongly about my friends. The fact of the matter is that I created my current discord community and friend group. I run the TTRPGs they all play twice a week. So they can come along to whatever I switch to, or stay on Discord and figure it out for themselves. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but I’m leaving Discord either way.

Thanks for highlighting the differences.
