There never was. It was only a sea of different instant messenger protocols, and each had their pros and cons. So much that you had meta messengers, doing multiple protocols. Trillian for example. You had to get multiple accounts and softwares to get everyone.

I personally use DietPI on my headless servers, which is a derivative of debian, and PikaOS on my personal computer, which is the bazzite equivalent of debian. It’s great really :). At this stage, i’ve been so used to debian derivatives that I simply don’t want to use time to learn another distro’s specific ways. I’ve tried mandrake and rpm years ago, but debian simply was the golden standard I used at school and on PI.

It’s kinda hard to accept they are debuting paid work on something that only works on pre-2022 devices… I do understand the recycling idea behind this, but next time I change my phone and look up for a linux compatible phone, I already know I won’t be buying a pre-2022 device :(…

PikaOS

Hi,

I’ve been on seafile for years, I see no reason for the docker install to scare you.

I’ve been meaning to migrate to an european alternative (seafile is essentially chinese), but none seem to have the notion of zero-trust.

I’ve checked both opencloud and sync-in. In both cases, if you are the admin, you can access every one’s files. For now at least. This means a hacker accessing your server could also get the files uncrypted.

This is a no-go for me, I want my friends to be able to trust my instance so they can use it. Seafile has that : you can create an encrypted collection which asks for a second password when you open it.

Surely awesome, but sync is one-side only. This is a nogo for my usecases.

Seafile has fuse for accessing it as a folder.

Coming from discord, matrix element ui is shitty (my personal viewpoint only). The fact that you don’t have a visible spaces et chats hierarchy with categories is so complicated to get where you are and know what is there… On that front Cinny does very great, but has no audio nor video for now.

I don’t see how it replaces anything without audio & video calls. Doesn’t mattermost already cover this scope…? And a lot of other open source softwares… For me, the rarest and dearest feature is these fixed call channels you have in discord. Matrix and element have them, but their ui is shit. I’m waiting for it to be implemented on Cinny, there is a PR for that.

You were thinking linux windows’like, but did you thought about React OS ?

To my knowledge, Navidrome doesn’t allow music browsing by folder, only by artist/album. I had talked about this with its main dev a few years ago. For me this is a no go…

Seafile is compatible with webdav and fuse. Fuse allows to mount folders as drives, webdav is a webaccess protocol which can also be mounted as drive I believe.

Only restriction I know : fuse cannot mount encrypted folders.

Sorry, my what ? Are you talking about relics of the past ? ;D
