Discord has E2EE?

I and my group are all just on matrix.org. We didn’t want the risk of dealing with potentially less reliable servers or federation.

We also use Element desktop and Element X for Android. I think I read that the old Element might have supported audio calls? But these days, it’s video only, with the very weird UX of having two different options for video calls (one being, as you say, Jitsi). I assume there’s a historical reason for that, but it doesn’t make much sense as a design today, to me.

Having Discord-style audio rooms built around the idea that people are not broadcasting all the time (as opposed to the more chat-like design of today) would be one of the most impactful comparatively low effort (considering they already have video calls working) things they could do, IMO.

Your 142.x.x.x will be your public IP address. All devices on your network share that public IP. They all have a unique private IP address too, accessible only on your network. It probably starts with 192.168.x.x, but it could be 10.x.x.x or even less likely 172.16–31.x.x.

If you want to operate a web server that users can go to by typing https://youdomain.com/, you’ll need to forward from ports 80 and 443 through to the internal IP address of your server, using the “port forwarding” settings on your router. What port on the internal IP you route to depends on how your server is configured. But a basic default configuration is fairly likely to be 80 and 443, too.

Since you have a reverse proxy, all traffic from your router should go to that. Then you use that to send the appropriate traffic to the appropriate server based on whatever rules you want to apply. (e.g. siteone.mydomain.com goes to server 1, sitetwo.mydomain.com goes to server 2, or mydomain.com/siteone goes to server 1, etc.).

Interesting. Is that a perspective used among psychologists?

Easy!

The top one is heavily armed and armoured and prepared to inflict serious violence.

It’s definitely nowhere near as polished as Discord, but it does a good enough job for my small gaming group to have moved over.

The equivalent of a Discord server is a Space, which is made up of Rooms (channels). Unfortunately Rooms are displayed in order of recent activity; admins can’t define a set order to group things by function.

The two weirdest things: there are no audio calls, you have to do a video call and turn off the webcam. And the process of logging in on your phone requires scanning a QR code from your desktop (a technically-minded person will understand this is necessary for E2EE, but to an average user it’s just strange).

“I’m very proud of our police officers” he says, as a video shows a cop sucker punching a guy he has hogtied in the ribs.

Yeah, we know you’re proud. That’s the problem.

I also wrote an email (I usually prefer physical letters, but the turnaround time on this one meant I wanted it received asap) to my (Labor) state MP. Got a lazy form response in reply.

More details on that in the !brisbane thread.

The police making unreasonable demands does not justify the use of violence to enforce those demands.

Why is the president of a foreign genocidal regime invited to Australia to support the families of murdered Australians? What purpose does that solve?

He’s not a Jewish religious leader. He’s the political head of state of a country.

Yes, I explained as much in both the title and the comments.

Old story, but I just heard about it now.

Two negatives make a positive, I guess.

This touches on an important issue, but it is an appalling failure of an article from the ABC. I have just submitted my complaint to the ABC through their complaints form. Here is the text of my complaint, if anyone else wants to join in. (Please use your own words, but feel free to take inspiration from me.)

This article about a recently-announced law in the Queensland Parliament is woefully inadequate at representing a diversity of perspectives and maintaining impartial reporting, one of the most important principles of the ABC Code of Practice.

It fails to seek the input of any pro-Palestine groups, such as Justice for Palestine Magan-djin or the Jewish Council of Australia.

It fails to note the context in which phrases such as “globalise the intifada” and “from the river to the sea are used”—the ongoing genocide by the state of Israel of Palestinian people. Or to explain the meaning of these phrases as meant by the people using it—resistance against the genocide and support for the human rights of the Palestinian people.

Instead, the article completely implicitly accepts the false premise of the Government’s position: that these are terrorist phrases, that criticism of Israel is antisemitic, and that the opinions of zionists are the only ones worth considering.

Ned Hammond’s article quotes the Opposition’s tepid support for the policy, but not the voices of those actually affected. In so doing, it fails ABC Standards 4.1 “Gather and present news and information with due impartiality”, 4.2 “Present a diversity of perspectives…so that no significant strand of thought or belief within the community is knowingly excluded or disproportionately represented”, and 4.5 “Do not unduly favour one perspective over another.”

This is an appalling failure to represent the voices of anti-genocide, anti-zionist protestors, and is yet another in a string of failures of the ABC to resist pressure from the pro-Israel lobby.

I know a bunch of people who go to Japan regularly for skiing/snowboarding. It’s a fairly popular sport with Australians, but generally at a much lower level of seriousness than we’re likely to take summer sports.

And of course, Steven Bradbury is an absolute legend for his 2002 Olympic Gold in speed skating.

Yeah feel free to do that.

I’d probably want any new mods to either be people who are already mods elsewhere, but primarily on smaller more niche communities (rather than centralising power into a few “power mods”), or who have engaged a bunch with this community in the past.

Ah I see. Thanks!

I was also watching a bit of that. I hope the woman who crashed is ok. The commentators were going on about how she hit her knee…but that happened right after she landed on her head & neck.
