You know at this point people are probably gonna start insuring their RAM…

Voice chat works out of the box with Matrix.

It uses WebRTC and tries to do P2P connections. Note that this leaks your IP to the other caller and vice versa, but it’s also quite fast as you can establish a direct connection.

If P2P fails it will try to fallback to your configured TURN server and use that one for relaying.

However not every instance has one (as TURN servers are usually not that modern and straight forward…) and if this is the case it will fallback to Matrix’s global TURN servers.

If it’s just chatting with your use case: definetly yes

synapse and element/schildi-chat work quite well for me :)

On mobile the newer Element X clients usually lack some features (like calls) but you can use them quite well for chatting.

Matrix hoster here.

I would recommend Matrix as it has pretty much everything, including cross platform clients, threads, voice/video calls, screensharing, spaces (aka servers), federation and E2EE. Matrix also has bridges for Discord and pretty much every other service so this could ease transition…

But self hosting requires reading the docs and having some in depth knowledge and understanding as it can be quite complex.

I would recommend just creating a Matrix account on one of the common global servers and testing it.

If you want to self-host there are some pre-defined setups available (example) but I would still recommend to bring at least 5-10 hours.

Regarding operations: It’s really resilient and barely ever breaks and also doesn’t need a lot of resources. A 1-2vCPU server with under 1GB RAM server is enough for less than 10 people.

Too sumarize the article:

US clickbait and ad infested news website directly quotes “trust me bro” Twitter post + describes in 2 sentences what a ramdisk is and does zero real “journalism” like maybe contacting mentioned dutch authorities or Windscribe themselfs.

Once again: Ban Tom’s Slopware. Post the original source instead.

Once again the “Everything that’s not FOSS will turn to shit at one point or another” theorem proves true.

You can also use a power outlet with no grounding but don’t get surprised when your “buisness” burns down.

What have auto-generated/AI caption contents to do with the general format captions???

YT has auto-generated captions now for years, so why would they remove an unsupported, internal format because of that?

While I’m not quite sure about the exact reasons for the removal, here are some probable guesses:

• it’s a bug
• the unsupported, internal format - that allows for pretty much everything - is in some way exploitable
• It’s getting replaced by something better/standardized as the current solution doesn’t seem to always work properly in YT’s apps

> Use UNSUPPORTED subtitle format instead of one of the other 10 supported ones

> Fast forward some time

> YT disables and removes the UNSUPPORTED format

Not sure what this sentence means, but feel free to use pigeons instead.

When you’re getting notifications/newsletters from legitimate platforms like e.g. Amazon or GitHub it’s smarter to unsubscribe from these specific mails. Otherwise you will be screwed when some important mail somehow ends up in the spam folder.

but I’m absolutely drowning in unread emails, around 4,000

WTF are you doing with your e-mail address that you get these amounts of mails. These are more mails than I got in the last decade.

At first maybe try to unsubscribe whatever you subscribed and stop putting your address into random services. Use a temporary mail for stuff like that.

Also mail filters can help with sorting mails from certain senders into folders. Bascially every provider has them and if not programs like Thunderbird have these built in on the client side.

Most are those annoying notifications like “Your security code is xxx,” “Your parcel has shipped,” and requests to rate my experience.

Uhm simply delete them when you e.g. inputted the code or got your parcel? Or change the settings that you no longer get them?

So, I’m on the hunt for an email provider that has solid SPAM filters…

Under your circumstances no provider in the world can do that, because nobody can determine if your “Your security code is xxx” mail is spam or legitimate… YOU have to determike that for yourself.

I did basically the same a few months ago, works really well in combination with DDNS.

Just make sure to keep WireGuard up to date from time to time to get rid of any potential vulnerabilities :)

PSA: In the video (not the retarded posted article that has 0 proofreading) it’s stated that he used Windows XP 64 bit

At first: Stop posting Tomshardware! They just bulk repost ad-enriched low quality clickbait content without validating anything (cough 9700X3D). Just post the original video.

As the video creator said in it’s disclaimer, the test is probably not accurate:

• I’m having serious doubts about the test setup. The laptops are all on a carpet directly facing a wall. There is a 0% chance that this is using proper air circulation and this will likely effect heat dissipation.
• Some tests (e.g. Video editing, Battery life) are extremly hardware dependent and shouldn’t be used in a OS comparison.
