    da ich einen matrix server aufgesetzt habe, habe ich einerseits zum testen einen account auf matrix.org, einen auf einem ebenfalls frei registrierbaren anderen server sowie mehrere accounts auf meinem eigenen und andererseits gleich drei apps dazu auf meinem (haupt- lol) handy:

    • schildichat
    • element
    • fluffychat

    für desktoptests hatte ich element in nextcloud installiert

    meine tests betrafen hauptsächlich videochat 1:1 (TURN) sowie videokonferenz über jitsi, chats initiieren (key handshake) und text/bilder/sound/videos übermitteln ging mit allen untereinander, teils war aber zb nur der emoji-check möglich und nichts anderes.

    fluffychat finde ich vor allem gut, weil der direkt multiaccountfähig ist, da steht zwar “beta” dran an multiaccountfeature, geht aber fluffig.

    nachstbeste finde ich schildichat, ist einfacher zu bedienen, man kann nur einen account einrichten, aber für Anwender ist das besser.

    die element app ist der platzhirsch, aber der kann auch nur einen account haben und mir gefällt fluffychat besser.

    fluffy und schildichat können beide universal push mindestens über ntfy, element weiss ich grad nicht, ob das ging.

    für desktop hatte ich nur element nextcloud versucht, da war mir negativ aufgefallen, dass ich da bei jedem einloggen den cryptokey des clients neu eingeben musste, was zwar logisch ist, sonst müsste der ja im browsercache oder in der nextcloud DB im klartext liegen (oder ich hab da was übersehen 🤷 ) und die jitsi integration ging zwar einfach, liess aber fand ich zu dem Zeitpunkt ein paar privatsphärenfragen offen, da ein bestimmter server genutzt wurde, den man nicht per gui ändern konnte. Aber ich habe keine anderen matrix desktop clients ausprobiert, für einen jitsi konferenztest brauchte ich nur meine zwei handies und einen weiteren client, da bei nur zwei teilnehmern dann automatisch 1:1 video über TURN genutzt wird anstatt jitsi.




  • battery management in linux has always been awesome: run only needed services, dont abuse resources more than needed. under linux laptops battery always lasted way longer during usage (standby should be the same,right? eh, except for apples crapbooks - see below) than the tests running windows. one thing that i could not compare directly (didnt do that test) is that on linux laptops batteries lasted long-term seemingly way longer than those of roughly same time bought windows machines but those were used by others so i could not really tell for real.

    however the superflous systemd bugware changed with the tradition of not needlessly exhaust resources after beeing forced by some entity into lots of distributions, but systemd is not linux and you can use linux without superflous resourcedepleting crap like that.

    however i am not a user who needs standby or uses hibernate and i completely dislike screen savers like reducing brightness or turning off monitors “after a while”. luckily i use linux and can set such settings as i want AND they also work as configured (see crapbook fuckups below). for security reasons i lock my linux screen when i need to, otherwise it runs on the brightness i set while i use it, same on battery or not, wether battery low or full.

    i luckily cannot compare current windows act-as-if-windows-was-powersaving as i haven’t administrated one of those malware-distribution-platforms from microsoft for ages.

    at work i have to use a crappy apple macbook and battery management is a full -10 (minus!) hell (out of 0-10 points) there:

    • shutdown does not always really shutdown even if the display is already off, causing full battery depletion during weekend with a “shutoff” system wheee!
    • after real shutdown closing the lid sometimes boots the crapbook pro again m(
    • closing the lid should cause standby, but doesn’t always (but you cannot know as the lid is closed and opening it should stop the standby again) also causing full bettery depletion without having a way to “really” prevent it.
    • minutelong monitor-recalibration-flickering after monitor-only-standby (forced by company settings) during mandatory-when-leaving-seat screen lock lasts as long as i consider it an impediment causing useless amounts of overall-energy be drained (mine, that of the companies office lights and heating, the monitors as well as the battery usage during minute-long just-re-starting-the-fucking-monitors which is usually instant under linux)
    • also crapbooks beeing actual office heaters as hot as one does not want to touch any more dont ‘manage’ batteries, they just drain them, luckily my work crapbook didnt have ‘that’ bug yet but hundreds of other bugs seemingly enough for its own youtube channel about work impediments presented by (cr)apple, also draining “my” energy much more than needed as well as making work progress as slower causing (bot only) the battery life to be less effective. crapbooks battery management alone is worth naming the whole thing a "crap"book.

    linux power and battery management works just fine for me, no hassle, does what it should and what i need =)

    the linked page about TLP shows more how to install it than what it does, only the thing about not fully charging the battery could be helpful, but is not what i want to use right now, but thanks for the information that it exists ;-)






  • i see a blue rectangle left to “users”, so yes i see blue color 😉

    but i’ld rather disagree, ceo’s usually are instinct driven hunter/gatherers for boni i.e., they don’t “care” , because “caring” assumes actions that help something grow or at least stay available but ceo’s usually destroy along their way while hunting or taking no matter if that destroys the company, the market, country or even the whole planet. no, ceo’s don’t “care”, they consume and create chaos meanwhile. caring is not what they do.

    i would try printing the filter part as a flat surface (without retractions) directly on the printer bed (only 3 layers maybe) and bend it later to become a tube ( like a “C”) i am not sure about petg, i did this bending with pla. hot water comes in handy and maybe a glas bottle. also prepare something to tighten where the ends of the C connect, a border without the small filter holes but some larger holes for something like cable ties or even a printed part for connecting the C edges.








  • after downloadmoreram.com was such a success, i guess something like wifi-hotspot as a service should exist somewhere too

    hm, without adding “new” hardware you say?

    • add an old wifi stick
    • add an old raspberry pi 1
    • stick the stick into the berry
    • add hostapd package to berry
    • add old ethernet calble and connect berry with the switch in the picture
    • configure hostapd to mimic a wifi hotspot (thus its not “added”, just mimic’ed)
    • configure routing, nat, dns and dhcp server (wlan side) on berry
    • configure dhcp client on berry for lan side
    • use an old cable tie to tie things together so it becomes “one piece”
    • connect the switch with another old ethernet cable to your neighbours internet router

    tadaaa !!! turned into wifi hotspot without added hardware beeing “new”
