it's generally a good idea to not have your home folder accessible to windows programs running under wine. other than that, i don't see the need for an antivirus. keep your system updated, and use virustotal for the occasional suspicious file
have tried running am rtmp server, for some reason even on my local network and very low res/quality it was awfully slow sadly.. :/
mlmym for lemmy is quite literally old reddit. i'd like to try mbin/piefed but this frontend is too good for me.
god i hate this... the current ui is almost perfect :/
plastic clothes doesn't seem to get wrinkled as easily, and i guess they shouldn't be ironed.
last commit 3yrs ago.. seems unmaintained
discord screen shares are very low latency and well integrated.. is it possible to do something similar with obs? genuinely asking.
stoat aims for that but isn't stable. matrix needs jitsi for screen sharing and streaming, that's not like the smooth experience with discord. also i'm unsure about persistent chat in the long term, i've used matrix for a while and the rooms tend to not last for long amd get 'upgraded' or something (had to click on some button that said something around 'this chatroom has moved'... and couldn't search from the old chatlog properly)
it seems like they're using matrix under the hood
Looked around for a while now, these are the alternatives I found.
- Zulip: More like a Slack alternative for an organization/team/group, can be self hosted, seems to be pretty mature and well made. Has good client apps. No screen sharing/voice chat.
- Stoat: Seems to be mostly similar to Discord, doesn't seem mature though, self hosting documentation doesn't seem refined, could be okay if you use their server, not sure about mobile apps
- Spacebar: 1:1 Discord clone, voice chat features seem to be incomplete but seems pretty good otherwise, I tried to install their server but it doesn't run for me..
- Matrix: Feature complete, but kinda buggy, may work well enough for some but my friends complained for poor UX
- Mattermost: Gotta self host or pay, there seems to be some weird limitation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46861331 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46594673
- IRC: maybe not for non-techies, but IRCv3 has some "modern" features and Goguma(Android)/TheLounge(Web) looks quite decent
- XMPP: Seems like it should be good, but I'm having trouble setting it up so can't tell
- Tailchat: UI looks just like Discord, but I just heard of it now so haven't tried

if you have the storage, just dump the whole drive. you can then boot that windows installation again, or even use it on a vm under linux.
