And that's what you should do, since you're forcing the protocol update you should take the opportunity that might not come later

They need it hoard datasets.

I also use ArchWiki as my personal software configuration journal. I know I'll be back to it when I'm going to have to re-install or re-configure something, so I make sure to record any new info I discover, worked out super well for me so far.

For mobile, you can use FluffyChat, it's another Matrix app

There's Element for mobile too. More complete list of clients here

I haven't touched XMPP for over 10 years, how's screen sharing and file sharing over XMPP doing?

Almost all clients support file sharing. The Movim client <https://mov.im/> supports screen sharing. It should be noted that both Jitsi & Zoom use XMPP for the roster/chat/handshaking as well; so if you set up a Jitsi server for calls & such, you would already have a working XMPP server on your server that could be co-opted.

I never managed to get file sharing working on my self hosted discord instance. Needing to setup DNS entries and subdomains for every little feature got tiresome and I gave up.

Also the default of "save all shared files on the server" didn't sit well with me.

But xmpp is so damn complicated I am 100% sure I am misunderstanding everything and doing something wrong.

Just buy "digital signage"

Which works, but is priced very high - and not just for the fact that the seller can't monetize ads. Digital signage displays are designed for much higher duty cycles than a home TV, for display in areas where ambient brightness is much higher on average. You're paying for the tech that you want, but you're also paying for a lot of tech that you don't want or need.

Right, but what everyone is whingeing about is for it to be available even at a higher price point.

Digital signage shows the market is already solving this problem so if all this complaining is to mean anything people are talking about yet another new market that fits in between the smart TV price and the digital signage price

Steam takes 30%, other stores take 10-20%

After living in Italy for a few years - if you're doing worse than Italy with your train schedule it's time to reflect hard.

Germany and Italy should gang up together to make the trains run on time and... wait a minute.

Hey Japan wants to join. I know we are a bit far away but we can form some sort of a tri-something axis.

I think, the joke about Germany and Italy should team up is a reference to the new CEO of Deutsche Bahn, Evelyn Palla, who is from Italy. The "to make the trains run on time" gives a hint here, because this is her declared task.

Not about Germany, Italy, and Japan, forming some sort of axis, I guess.

Japan wants the trains to run on time too!

The tri partners have a mutual goal.

I heard that Japan's trains cannot compete with the Germany's trains. /s
