For people that want advice for finding an alternative service, go to the github repo and figure out the state of development. Find the answers to these questions: how many active developers are there? when was the last commit? does this look like LLM code? What do the issues and PRs look like? Remember that we don’t want to have to do this again in 10 years, so open source and decentralized are major points.
I was using a etke as a hosting service for a while but it was a bit expensive and I wanted more control. I set it up on my homelab with a VPS running a reverse proxy and like it a lot more. I believe I deployed it with someone’s Ansable playbook I found on github. Make a matrix.org account and play around with it. I hate the Element client though.
For built in listeners use ncat, but nmap package is not always included. If you are on Windows find some listener Poweshell script, it will be under 10 lines, with Test-Connection. When I was a SysAdmin one repeated problem was UDP traffic was not working. When you tested the TCP port it would work, verifying that the connection is there, but UDP for a variety of reasons is problematic.
With TCP there are built in listeners on OSs which you can use to test. Also TCP will work before UDP. For whatever reason firewalls and such do weird things with UDP traffic. I always use a cli tool that I can’t remember the name of for testing.
Yes it is uncommon, as people have mentioned it is a Wireguard wrapper. Try just using Wireguard and troubleshoot from there. I would want to know what that ‘simple’ solution is failing. Your workaround could have similar issues.
You might be a champion of the modern era. Or just really out of touch.
Just made it through a technical interview without managing to say that I use Arch, btw. It is harder than you think.
Dude, just admit it’s not a bone and I will give you the answer.
Spain and Portugal are way off. The Appalachians extend to the British Isles and are much older than the mountains in the Iberian peninsula.
I just had a recruiter come to me with a post that required 10 years experience for a tech that only has existed for 10 years. So I just asked them, the response was I don’t know. like through some copy paste of another listing, the number was never changed. If they were not a large reputable company, I would have passed.
You should have used TheBlueMorpho. I did not know of a political connotation.
First off, have you used that name on other platforms? it’s a sweet username. I started to leave in typos in all of my writing, so people right away know it was never ran through a LLM. I had an external partner at work comment that I might have given them the only human written report in 2026. I would like to think it works but you are sacrificing some professionalism.
I always thought that people are drawn into the default instances because they have less friction to sign up and login in third-party apps. Along with new people not quite grasping how the fediverse works when they start using it.
