the online shop version is not really available anyway so far, as far as i can figure out. but i understand that you should be able to directly deal with it via your bank. so your bank would be the professor, and that you anyway need :)

let’s see what the future holds, I’m sorry that it won’t help you now

did you check out wero? didn’t read into it myself yet much, but as i understood it should do this at some point. just not sure when.

the problem here is the control with tv remote, but afair there is an Firefox again that can fix this

sounds tricky because eventually it relies on some accessible api of the banks or other place the money is at.

btw, it would be helpful if you disclose in which country you are, i guess USA, but can’t be sure. this would change some aspects.

ok, seems that i forgot an important part to my message: /s

for me it was the fact that the desktop case i used for the server had the power button on top and it was big enough to be pushed in, when my cat walked over it…

first came a not of federated services to mind, not that’s really necessary foss. but what would be cool is foss firmware or really open api for any hardware you buy… Home “smart” appliances, printers, cars infotainment system, etc, etc

unfortunately the max length of comments is to limited to answer this question… ;)

i might be a more typical nerd. i have a phd in physics and took a bunch of computer science course out of interest/boredom.

but i never learned anything that is really related to hosting. containers were not really a thing at the time and most courses i took were much more fundamental, like basics of networking or cpu scheduling. programming a learned on the fly to solve a problem, never as actual task in itself (what is very typical in my field and leads to horrible program code/collaboration scheme)

ok. that game i know, but i don’t get how you incorporate a pc/tv application into it, because that everybody can see. or is intended to be used by the guy writing the postit?

if not for the forced installation of the official client, it would really be neat. with a telegram bridge i also have good experience, only a single hiccup, years ago.

i have Whatsapp in a frozen shelter to starts it every two weeks.

recently i was thinking to have a second home server just for bridges, you should be able to use it federated. but didn’t try it yet.

main point for me was the sheer amount of ghost users.

one Location for dozen of rss feeds instead of looking up each individual. alternative is of course setting up the feeds on the client computer, but that works only nice if you use it only from one device (e.g. read history sync).

furthermore i prefer to have such set ups on a server with backups, so if e.g. my phone gets lost i don’t need to find back all those urls.

sounds exactly like something that i want to set up for a while now. i just didn’t find yet a good solution to overcome the two stories between our flat and the basement which houses the washing machine :/

I’m using matrix for years with my wife and my mom, never really had issues, but maybe my requirements are not that high.

thanks for reminding me to back up my totp keys!

i guess that he meant by “… and two emails later…”

land of the free!

i first read bottomless and was even more confused… anyway, i guess it’s an esp community (iot) thing where you usually work with momentary switches;)

ah, thanks. i guess just linking to the GitHub user page would be sufficient as acknowledgement. on the other hand, as long as you keep the GitHub repo, that would not be an issue anyway.

ghost users would be a terrible idea, as it would just fill your server with garbage xD (have that problem with another program)
