(I’m the maintainer) I do use the messenger bridge and it works for me, without disconnection issues.

But what is dead may never die!
Yes, it’s totally fantastic, and I’m not biased at all when I talk about it. xD
It does support a crazy amount of networks (it uses libpurple which is the lib of pidgin), unfortunately it lacks modern features and even groups don’t work that well. I actually started to work on slidge because I was fed up with spectrum2’s limitations and realised that spectrum2’s maintainer think, like many others, that XMPP is dead…
I would suggest airvpn over mullvad as they allow port forwarding, which will make torrenting work better.
If transmission is running in a container, my latest blog post is actually about that: https://www.nicoco.fr/blog/2023/09/10/wireguard/
I think when you pay RHEL you mostly pay for support, custom dev and stuff like that so I would say it’s really not worth the trouble getting the software.
Oh indeed, I dont’t think it was better before. But technology should be about making things better, shouldn’t it?
Spotify shareholders say thanks. The artists, not so much. Keep your spotify money to go to concerts or buy albums on bandcamp. Spotify is the worst.
Fuck spotify. Unlike video which poses some infrastructure challenges, musical files are tiny and bandwidth costs are ridiculous. Internet should allow us to give money to the artists directly, not to some greedy evil corp that makes billions without giving artist their fair share. Bandcamp is the closest we have to that.

Matrix tries to kill XMPP but the reality is that if you want to self-host, XMPP is much less of a hassle. Also, Matrix is an open standard as in “pay big money to participate in the openness”. https://matrix.org/blog/2022/12/01/funding-matrix-via-the-matrix-org-foundation/
