The amount of derivatives (which were responsible for a systemic meltdown in 2007/2008) currently in circulation is quite alarming. See the bottom of the page linked to.

AFAIK housing isn't considered at all when tracking inflation.

The big lie of our current time is that inflation is extremely low, justifying repressive monetary policy such as negative rates.

Rent and house prices are skyrocketing all across Germany's large cities (and all over the world).

Everyone needs shelter.

If you are using Jabber/XMPP but haven’t been able to convince your friends yet, you should get them to use http://Quicksy.im instead. It will only take them 60 seconds to sign up and contact you on your regular XMPP address.

Based on a reply on the Fediverse, I've gone with https://funkwhale.mastodon.host which allows uploads of up to 1GB per user.

@schmittlauch @vanitasvitae

Thanks Trolli, looks like they still allow uploads.

I like Rushkoff and often listen to his podcast, but it seems to me that he has a blind spot for FOSS.

He talks about so many things where FOSS is relevant, but he never really mentions FOSS or its ethical underpinnings.

He also seems the type to exclusively say "open source" instead of "free software".

It's as if he wants political solutions for everything and doesn't pay much heed to the role libre licenses can play.

Maybe I just missed the times
where he does discuss FOSS?

@vanitasvitae

Too bad, I guess I'll stick with Soundcloud for now then.

I'm working on a song that I'd like to publish soon. Until now I've just uploaded everything to Soundcloud, however I'd like to also try out Funkwhale.

I don't want to self-host an instance however.

Can someone recommend a good #Funkwhale instance?

Thanks

Here's a good guide on how to set up Prosody which is a fine choice for self-hosting: https://homebrewserver.club/configuring-a-modern-xmpp-server.html

OMEMO messages can only be decrypted once by the particular device they were encrypted for.

So either you need to keep those decrypted messages stored in the browser's localStorage cache, or you lose them when your session ends.

You also have a secret key which needs to be kept around, otherwise other devices can't encrypt messages for that particular browser.

So yes, if you want to clear all browser data when you end your session, OMEMO won't work well for you.

@JoergSorge

Converse 5.0.0 was recently released and fixes some OMEMO bugs. Perhaps you want to give it another try.

There's still an OMEMO MUC bug, but someone is working on that.

There is one slide in my presentation on the State of the XMPP community that you should not miss out on: Conversations is getting support for Jingle audio/video calls. (Probably in early 2020)
