Moving from purely my own rolled distribution to the recommended Ansible pathway has basically made running matrix with all the bells and whistles a no-op. https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/

My understanding is:

Passkeys are like a password + 2FA mashed together. If someone steals your "passkey password" they still can't use it to login without the hardware component. That means phishing is harder. Since passkeys are generated for the user from their hardware it also forces better hygiene on the user by not allowig any password duplication.

A downside is it is tied to hardware and a provider that can cause problems witb loss of device or when you change devices but it is hard to say how painful that is going to be.

Other than declutter and conformity (which are good goals in general) what else are you getting here? What would you be able to do tomorrow if they suddenly supported XDG_CONFIG that the general population would benefit from?

The fight is how you learn :). Good job persevering.

DCC = direct client-to-client. With IRC the server is not hosting or distributing any files it is making connections between clients similar to edonkey or soulseek just with a different protocol. Which means you connect directly with your IP to the client that has the files you want and the bandwidth is dependent on how fast each of the clients' internet is.

You mean the one in fpsdoc.com where it says:

Digital Release: 31st August 2023

Estimated Shipping: 30th Sept. 2023

I understand things get leaked but it is rare nowadays and likely needs to be more popular than this will be.

Port forwarding allows for a direct connection from one client to another. Effectively when a VPN let's you port forward if you go to the external IP address they assign + the port they assigned they will be able to directly connect to a port that a program/service is listening on.

Torrent sites are only telling your client who to connect to via the tracker, your client still needs to be able to connect to them. You can still download without this but it is generally slower (may be going through a relay) and you cannot seed torrents except for anyone that can directly connect to you on whatever VPN you are on.

*Likely some mistakes above. Keep me honest denizens of the web.
