Sadly this. I have a graveyard of nice server boards that I got cheap before realizing how power hungry they are.
For CPUs basically anything older than gen 6 intel is too power hungry (although be careful with Xeon and xeon derived cpus, that are sometimes older gens rebadged as gen 6).
Cockpit is nice for that. The Podman integration of it is also useful.
It is explained in the readme linked in the OP.
tl;dr: they were using it before, but the codebase is old and hard to maintain and also doesn’t scale well in an online cloud office context.
Personally I have been using both (ONLYOFFICE and Collabora Office), and I can see why people prefer the former, even though for small personal use the latter is also ok.
Points at the general political situation in the US…
I think you will be back at Ipfire soon. OPNsense is a confusing mess and while IPfire certainly has its issues, at least it is easy to understand and it does what it is supposed to.
For now you can use XMPP with the Slidge Signal gateway. At some point there will be an issue with Signal due to their centralized servers in the US and then you will be happy to not depend on it so much.
XMPP server (Prosody) that can also act as a Unified Push distributor.
Threema sadly blocks api access behind a paywall and community interest isn’t high enough to have resulted in a workaround using the regular client access.
As for the main request, it is probably a bad idea to move to messengers as the primary communication tool. I would rather suggest to look into a tool like Loomio that has nice notification options to link the decision making process to various chat apps.
That you think Gajim looks like it was build in 2001 tells me you haven’t used XMPP in quite a while 😅
The Signal foundation also controls the ends, as they control the official clients and can push encryption breaking updates to end user devices; in cooperation with Google/Apple even to selected devices of individual people which makes this nearly impossible to detect.
Well, I think XMPP or Snikket is worth a try and definitely more reliable than Matrix, but you might also want to look at DeltaChat.
Mumble is nice, but it hasn’t changed much since the time people explicitly moved away from it to Discord, so why would they go back it it now?
Yes, but it isn’t a Discord replacement, but rather a WhatsApp replacement.
https://movim.eu/ is xmpp based and might be more suitable as a Discord replacement, but to be honest it isn’t quite there yet if you are looking mainly for a voice chat app.
Me opens link expecting vibe-coded slop… and indeed it seems to be vibe-coded slop 🤷
I am was talking about toeing the Kremlin propaganda line after the Russian attack in Ukraine 🤷
But you clearly live in an alternative reality of propaganda that even after a short initial phase of cognitive dissonance upon the shock that you were completely wrong on the Russian attack, you just doubled down on licking the boot of imperialist Russia even harder.
Right, because I stated historically accurate facts 🤡 Just like I did here. Lemmy.ml users are such a joke.
No, I had one and deleted it after you and the owners of lemmy.ml made it very clear that they were toeing the Kremlin propaganda line and directly contradicted what they said merely weeks before.
And what you say is blatantly false. There was some speculation about how the war in Ukraine might end despite Russia clearly having the upper hand militarily in the long run. This speculation was entirely justified at the time. You are clearly unable to differentiate between speculation on possible scenarios and predictions about likely outcomes, and also the quote in German supports exactly that. But we have already established multiple times that your reading comprehension is very limited and you continue to misinterpret and distort what others have said if it fits your agenda.
When building you own servers from consumer hardware this is a bit difficult, but getting a PSU that actually fits to the power use profile of the server seems to make a difference. Sadly it is hard to get small PSUs with sufficient SATA power connections.
