  • But IRC is dead now

    I highly disagree. I am in a group chat on XMPP that uses a IRC bridge and many of the users in that group chat are using that bridge.

    And now to other stuff that I want to mention related to the discussion in this thread.

    Services that does not meet modern standards like Mumble and XMPP, are not widly used because they “lack many important features”. I say “bah, humbug” to that!

    If MSN and ICQ worked flawlessly when those services was active, Mumble and XMPP works very well today, too. People are too spoiled by today’s technology.

    Here’s an example.

    I use my self-hosted Jitsi Meet server when communicating with people that refuses to talk to me unless there’s video calls and screen sharing. Otherwise, I gladly use Mumble 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, every year! And for file sharing other than images? XMPP, baby!

    A friend of mine invited a Discord loving person to my Jitsi Meet server few weeks ago. He/she said “it looks just like Discord, I’m sold!” My friend (also a Discord lover) agreed and does not hesitate for 1 second to join me on Jitsi Meet. My friend’s Discord friend said he/she gladly join us more times.









  • I have my own personal finance tracker, Keizai. I found mainly Firefly III as bloated and since I wanted a simple, straight-forward finance tracker, I created my own.

    Please bare in mind that Keizai is not yet finished. The development is still on-going, but it’s a slow process. I have multiple projects in hand and with autism and other plans for a better, more healthier life, the development for all my projects tend to be slow.

    And yes, you can self-host Keizai.
