Seeing most of the negative comments here noting bare metal etc.

Moving to the AIO build solved literally every issue I had with the single exception being the colabora office stuff.

For the image stuff, basic file, download etc… been great.

The Android app gives me grief, but I suspect that’s my janky Samsung phone killing it’s permissions.

Considering they only officially support the AIO, it’s worth trying that out before passing full judgement. It has flaws, for sure, but it’s immensely complex and the AIO nullifies many of the variables that they can’t otherwise account for easily.

Can I rent some space in your garage?

I would suggest instead looking into the deployment via the very thorough system here:

https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

It may seem a little overwhelming at first due to the large list of options, but underneath it boils down to some simple variables in a file. Once complete, you can then add/remove components merely with a small edit and redeploy.

I’ve been using this for about a year, after manually doing the systems for Element and Synapse for a few years before that and HATING how kludgy things seemed.

Once on the Ansible deploy from above, features just work. It’s been a night vs day difference without trying to convince you to pay money any time you go into an interface.

My few users (about 2 dozen) regularly do group calls via the newer Element Call stuff (RTC) and even with a high-latency connection from one of the users using satellite internet, things work smoothly.

XMPP / Snikket might be a better fit for your needs, but I wanted to make sure you had a chance to try out the better solution for implementing Synapse (or other Matrix servers!) before just judging by the problematic corporate deployment.

Nice!

Watch out for CPU and RAM gobbling… Jitsi’s GC process can make your video streams go sideways fast if you bottleneck it too much.

And even if things seem smooth, make sure you have SWAP space enabled somewhere! the JVM will murder your system before you know anything is wrong, and SWAP allows the kernel to compensate long enough to at least cry for help.

Looking over that guide, it’s using EXT4 as the filesystem.

BTRFS has a bit more complexity, especially under EFI and with how it’s mapped in the GPT.

Check out some hints here:
https://superuser.com/questions/607363/how-to-copy-a-btrfs-filesystem

TLDR: you need to make adjustments on some of the IDs that are pulled direct from hardware, and update those in your init as well as EFI. btrfs-clone might be the best thing to start looking into.

Looks very serene from that.

Gorgeous pic.

Yep, agree with all this.

It doesn’t detract from the fact that not hiring is still a cause for the situation deteriorating. Some of the businesses are using AI as the vehicle to refuse hiring while yelling about nobody wanting to work.

ultimately, AI is just another tool in this case for the rich to continue enriching while maximizing profit.

I hate it.

that’s a great notion, but in the process real roles that ARE needed are empty until someone realizes the mistake, or until people die.

This sounds like overreaction, but what about for EMS services? 911 operations? Emergency room staffing? Nursing? Hospital IT staff?

Having open positions, or even just insufficiently filled hours, will cause situations where there are huge ramifications.

Just because someone isn’t hired, doesn’t mean the role isn’t critical and needed… it means there’s consequences if the need is unfilled. There’s dozens (or more!) of medical professionals needed desperately that aren’t being hired, ultimately due to greed (those driving the AI process here) and this results in worse care.

Name game on point. What kind of battleship does she become?

Chaos and rebellion.

Sell off any phones that I can’t modify. Aggressively de-Google while setting up fake accounts to send garbage into their system training.

Light my way with the burning of bridges.

Fun fact! The Laser in the burner didn’t actually burn from thermal effects, and instead caused a chemical reaction using specific wavelengths of light to activate a substrate called pthalocyanine.

This is part of why you could burn “faster”, although typically you had a higher quality burn at slower speeds as the change from one color to another via the chemical effects was more complete. This allowed weaker reading lenses to better perceive the new colors easier, and greatly increased compatibility.

I am very, very old.
