I saw the following comment on the orange site:

Telegram offers end-to-end encryption in the same way that McDonalds offers salads.

and I really like that take

They aren’t, Telegram is not a secure messenger. There are e2e chats, but those are not groupchats, they are not always available (not on the desktop or using the web client) and in general they are rarely used. All those big groups and channels are unencrypted and there’s nothing stopping the authors from looking into them.

I personally switched from NextCloud to Syncthing.

Syncthing:

• is easier for me to maintain,
• allows for the “server” to be behind NAT,
• lets me have multiple “servers” at the same time (eg. something at home and a VPS)
• lets me have certain “servers” set as untrusted, so all data on them is encrypted, while others can have it unencrypted for easier access I put “server” in quotes, as Syncthing doesn’t really have a server, all clients are equal peers.

On the other hand, NextCloud:

• gives me a way to share files by link with others,
• lets me browse files via a web interface,
• mobile app lets me access files as I need them instead of having to synchronize everything.

I wonder how it compares with Ergo IRC Server. Seems to take the more minimalistic approach.

It uses systemd services. My understanding is that it aims to have the applications installed in the most straightforward way possible - avoiding containers where possible.

Looks like YunoHost, but hearing about the licensing issues, I’ll stick with YunoHost.

I don’t think that this is related to Wayland.

I do - because shipping with Windows means that I pay for a Windows license when buying the product.

I did! Don’t expect too much stability out of it, but I was surprised to say that the latest version worked pretty stable and nicely for me. I can definitely recommend it.
