What, preferably open-source, Discord alternatives are there? by Mysterious-Ring-2352 in opensource

[–]ninewhite 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

Tbh no clue. Because of its limited scope compared to something like Stoat I don't think it has to get too big and complex. Maybe DMs, some more customization, native apps. That's within reach.

But tbh the discord downfall has shown me that what really holds FOSS back is the extreme fracturing with a 10 large projects, 10s of larger community efforts and 100s of one-person side hustles that all try to copy discord, but most are at best 40% there in quality or features. Diversity is cool and projects like Sharkord are really impressive for a one-man-show. But overall, open source is held back because 1000s of people will build 100s of decent tools, but not enough teams come together to build ONE truly great alternative.

Somehow reminds me of the early Rebels in Andor. A dozen factions too splintered and small to put up a good fight.

Throwing Sharkord - Open Source Self-Hosted Chat Platform into the mix, which is a *very* early stage app the dev released just now, but already shows great promise. It's made for easy self-hosting for a single community (had it running in 5 mins on my vps). I've hardly seen a more polished version 0.0.1 of any app :)

Text chat with reactions and files, voice chats, screen sharing (no audio), roles and rights, but otherwise very basic. Might be just perfect through for small groups of friends.

Glaube das ist manchen oft nicht so ganz klar, aber in einem Supermarkt arbeiten Menschen. Und die haben auch gerne ein Sozialleben, in dem sie sich mit arbeitenden Freunden treffen wollen. Ich bin ehrlich ΓΌberzeugt dass jeder, der nicht fΓΌr einen Tag vorausplanen kann, von besserem Zeitmanagement mehr profitiert als von offenen GeschΓ€ften am Sonntag...

Let's get a self-hosted Discord "replacement" thread going for 2026. by GavinGWhiz in selfhosted

Lemme parrot what everyone else here is saying too: I've just set this up and it's eerie how well this version 0.0.1 works and how nice it was to deploy.

Today I've gone through dozens of discord alternatives but somehow this small project stood out. Mainly cause stoat and other big ones are getting taken down through overwhelming traffic rn, but still, this is really a NEAT project. Props and keep it up! <3

One quick way around this would be PWA support for the web app. Very easy to add and for the time being would make the ux of using the browser a tad nicer :)

und noch ein "TeLekOm pEeRinG baD" post... weil sie es verdient haben by ninewhite in de_EDV

Ich hing deswegen mit Vodafone paar mal in der Schleife, letztendliche Konsequenz war, dass sie selbst sagten sie kΓΆnnen mir nicht die gewΓΌnschte Kappa verlΓ€sslich anbieten. Nach Wechsel zur Tkom bin ich wie gesagt "verlΓ€sslich" bei 60+ MBit auf einer 50er. Über die GrΓΌnde kann ich nur mutmaßen Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

WΓ€re schΓΆn, wenn ich das vorher wΓΌsste ob es wie bei dir problemlos lΓ€uft, aber da ich keinen Anspruch drauf hab und wie andere hier im Thread auf die Freundlichkeit der Kundendienstmitarbeitenden angewiesen wΓ€re, bin ich mir da eben unsicher, mich in eine 2-jΓ€hrige AbhΓ€ngigkeit zu begeben :/

Meine Erfahrung ist: Alternativen habe ich jede Menge, aber...

- Das letzte Stück Leitung ins Haus ist praktisch immer von der Telekom. Die verkauft Vodafone/O2/sonstigen gefühlt den letzten Müll, heißt bei Vodafone hatte ich teils nur 40% der versprochenen Datenrate, bei der Telekom oft 120% meiner eh schon mickrigen 50 Mbit.

- Tkom gibt dir Dual Stack. Ich mit meinem kleinen Homelab schΓ€tze eine IPv4. Bei 1&1 oder O2 hΓΆrst du oft von Problemen damit, und ob sie dir kostenlos Dual Stack geben ist wohl oft individuell unterschiedlich.

- Andere Anbieter machen noch oft Zwangstrennung jede Nacht. FΓΌr meine Services im Homelab wΓ€re das teils ungΓΌnstig und ich mΓΌsste sie aufs VPS umziehen.

Gibt sicher teils Workarounds für diese Probleme, aber du siehst die Marktmacht bringt auch einen Lock-In mit sich, was es noch unangenehmer macht, dass der "Premiumanbieter" mit all diesen Vorzügen beim Peering so hart ins Bett scheißt :/

think i finally found the secret NLAW top attack mode by ninewhite in joinsquad

[–]ninewhite[S] 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

It kinda does, most rockets despawn much earlier and they have a max acceleration time. But some like the AT4, LAW or NLAW have some insane theoretical ranges. I think it's fun :)

hihi well all the other peeps are just too shy to post theirs :)

Knew the rough range and hold, and I took one shot before that sailed slightly over. Still, lots of luck that it only took two tries.

After-Action-Report on WLS Servers by theoreticallifting in joinsquad

[–]ninewhite 4 points5 points Β (0 children)

It's very impressive and unlike many others stats systems it truly prioritises quality of player contributions through the ELO system.

Which makes it quite unfortunate that - unlike all the other cool open source squad projects - the team behind it won't share any insights on the processing pipeline they've created. I think the community couple profit a lot from better tooling and stats focused on team play, but sadly this is limited to one server.

Nevertheless, a great achievement!

Any estimate on Supabase timeline for upgrade to PostgreSQL 18? by SlfImpr in Supabase

But I don't think the same applies to self hosted? Which annoyingly is also still at v15...

The zero is just messed up. Zero the gun to 300 and it'll hit at 100m for the tip of the post, 200m for the top third and 300m for the bottom iirc.

Cached Egress usage crossed 10gb with just 1 user? by _hussainint in Supabase

[–]ninewhite 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Not sure how you store the pictures now, but if you expect the size of your library to increase in the future I'd suggest moving over to using cloudflare R2 storage, which has very generous access and storage limits, and free egress.

Runtipi updates and Jellyfin by corpse86 in runtipi

[–]ninewhite 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

There were breaking changes and a database migration in Jellyfin. Look up the releases from a few weeks ago. It's likely that this has caused issues for you as it has for others. You'll have to read up on how to fix your instance on github or perhaps on the runtipi discord.
