'refuse to provide packages'

Open source devs usually are volunteers, you can't expect them to spend hours figuring out different packaging systems for repos they don't even use 😭

This is due to systems generators allowing Podman to plug in to that system

Honestly, this just seems like a consequence of alternative init systems not keeping up

Yep, that's the point described in the linked paper - traffic goes via the same domains used for their app, and the messenger is embedded in their app

Wayland is basically X12 in many ways

The Matrix Foundation and Element/New Vector are different orgs, and it's Element with the government contracts

"slowly being cannibalised" at the start the foundation was just new vector/element putting on a funny hat. It's got less bad as time has gone on tbh

Copying my post from up thread:

Delta chat is hilariously slow. It’s less of an instant messenger and moreover next business day messenger. That’s ignoring the problems you’ll have running it on your own infrastructure.

Electric is not a discord clone and element has a customer base more similar to slack. And to end encrypted direct messages have been the default for years now in Matrix.

What? I dispute this post. The giant jar of Skippy in my cupboard disproves it conclusively. It's right next to the strawberry jam and the mango chutney.

To go on top of the reverse DNS/mail comments, it can also be useful for running a service like codeburg pages, or some other program that handles its own virtual hosting and TLS, without interfering with your more traditional services.
