Matrix sucks pretty bad at federation. But if you run a single closed server internally it works just fine.

It’s not the text chat they’re referring to. An annoying amount of open so it be projects use Discord as a replacement for forums specifically.

Maybe, but let’s deal with one crisis at a time

As of right now no. Too many missing features.

But in a year or two…

Short answer: No Long answer: No, but maybe in a year or two?

I don’t do shucking, it’s not really much of a thing these days tbh. Though I do know it was only ever worth it for larger drives.

At this point I’m convinced the team behind TeamSpeak actually like disappointing people

Yes I am one of the vast majority of people who don’t have a very strong association with one of the several different names for one of the worlds less distinct animals.

And unless Stoat the software is content with appealing only to a few galaxy brained individuals like yourself and dying in obscurity, they would be smart to pick a more marketable name. One that has universal understanding and appeal, very simple concept. Or at least one that sounds better to the ear.

It is not. Stoats are not a very commonly talked about animal species. Their name isn’t even consistent across regions.

I had to look up what a Stoat even was because I only know them as Ermine, and in North America it’s called a short tailed Weasel. It’s not an animal you’re likely to even see much as they are rarely kept in captivity, and aren’t something you’re very likely to see in the wild in NA even though they’re native here. They have precious little pop culture representation either.

It’s not a question of intelligence, it’s a question of recognition and partiality.

That’s not very compelling imo.

That explains why nobody has consulted you before launching a brand.

Most tech names are nonsense to average person, yet they succeeded just fine.

On the contrary, most successful tech names are very recognizable and attractive to the average person, and the ones that weren’t were less likely to succeed. Facebook, Twitter, InstaGram, Windows, Apple, Amazon, Snapchat, TikTok all are very recognizable words or portmanteaus of descriptive words that are attractive to average users and are meant to convey a specific emotion or feeling. Meanwhile it’s been years since Twitter changed its name to X and yet nobody calls it that, and everybody still calls posts on that platform “Tweets”.

Like, this billion dollar industry doesn’t cease to be so because you personally don’t find it compelling lol.

Teamspeak needs to get off their ass and release the Teamspeak 5 server already

It makes perfect sense. Names are incredibly important to widespread adoption. As are pleasing colors.

Many people don’t know what a Stoat is, or that it’s an animal. A meaningless nonsense word (In the mind of a normie) will not drive them to use it.

The problem is there isn’t plenty of other options.

Discord is one of those services independent web folk have been after a replacement for for years.

If you wanted something to get started for streaming and you are space limited (in your home) I would recommend this as your server:

• https://a.co/d/00MhaEgG the Beelink S13 which is under $300 and will serve your streaming needs for a very long time.

And for storage you could get this 4TB external drive and plug it into the Beelink and sit it right on top for $130:

• https://a.co/d/03UcJ7Ph

And if you have an Nvidia shield I’m pretty sure you could also skip the S13 and just plug the drive into your shield and run Jellyfin or what have you directly on that. I know lots of people brag about their big overbuilt servers, but you don’t have to go down that road at all if all you want is to store and stream your media.

To a degree yes, but not nearly as bad as other components right now. You can at the very least buy a single “small” HDD like 4TB for pretty cheap that is far more than what you’d get from big tech on an average storage plan.

This is subject to change but as of today, you can get this for cheap

It’s not. I have a server with dozens of TBs of storage which is a 2011 Lenovo tower I got for free out of someone’s garage. It doesn’t take a whole lot to store things.

Can’t say the law for kids to wear helmets on bikes has done much to get them to do so. Though I don’t think bike helmet laws did much to rob the population of their privacy either.

They are not. It’s not the governments job to parent the nations children, (and conveniently erode our privacy in the process)

You’re referencing the deep lore.

Noted.lol was around awhile before selfh.st and was actually pretty beloved on the SelfHosted subreddit. Then the guys behind selfh.st showed up and some of the people who were contributing to noted.lol started giving them a hard time for “copying” them or some nonsense like that. Lots of drama. Now you never really hear about noted anymore.
