It says (updated) but what is the update?

Firefox is in the same situation. Bloated umbrella org (Mozilla) that has dubious funding sources builds subpar products. Look at how much support implementing JPEG XL had, and how they just didn’t care and completely shut the conversation down when Google said no.

The Matrix foundation didn’t embrace and extend anything, as they were always in control of the spec.

EEE applies to when corporations (notably Microsoft) embraces projects that aren’t theirs and takes them under their wing, expands on functionality which attracts all the users and makes them the sole developer of that functionality, which kills the old, open forks. Microsoft then kills their version of it, and the whole thing dies.

and the backend is no longer fully open source

You have no idea how funny that is because I called it on a whim half a decade ago.

No; in the case of Matrix it’s because the spec is insanely bloated. Nobody wants to work on that, especially for free.

Instances have 3 options. Save it locally, proxy it, or do nothing. Saving every federated image is not feasible for small instances. It’s not a fault of the protocol that instance operators don’t want to pay a thousand dollars a month for storage. Matrix has this problem, and look what happened to them: tiny instances are expensive to run, so don’t flourish.

I’m going to post it again.

but who is it for

It doesn’t support being flashed to a low-end commercial router like you’d do with OpenWrt, no. Those tend to require special firmware and binary blobs, hence OpenWrt has to specifically support a model or it likely won’t work. It’s like flashing Android ROMs.

OpnSense is great if you’re in the market for totally owning your own router, though. You can get an N100 box with 2 NICs off of ebay or something and slap OpnSense on that. That’s arguably more FOSS than flashing OpenWrt to a cheap commercial router.

It is spec, but so is /56 and even /64. It’s kind of crazy to give me, a residential costumer, a /48

I appreciate it, though. I like my 3 hextet prefix!

It supports any x86 device you throw at it. I’m running it on a hodgepodge PC I built out of scrap.

I reject the notion that a shared prefix raises privacy concerns because the alternative is they all share a single IP address as they do in v4.

Anyway, been v6 for years. Love it. It’s just easier to work with, to be honest. It took me a while to get it, but once I rotated my brain a little and stopped thinking in v4 logic then it all clicked. My ISP is insane and gave me a /48, so I have a lot of addresses.

I know my prefix by head, something everyone is still telling me is too hard for them (skill issue). You also don’t have to remember 8 hextets, just your prefix. In my case that’s only 3, but for you it won’t be more than 4. It’s not that hard. I zero out all the hextets between my prefix and the last so my v4 and v6 addresses just look like this 192.168.78.160 and 2a05:f6c7:8321::160 respectively. Don’t have to remember two addresses when dualstacking.

Also powerful but I reckon if you’re at this level then you already know about it; https://opnsense.org/

I intend on giving a close friend or two my password manager. They can figure it out from there! I don’t care what they find; I’m dead.

Should I die suddenly and spontaneously then no one shall ever know my deep secrets!

It’s interesting that this is kicking up some controversy.

Yeah. You’d think that people on the fediverse, protocols that lend themselves to mass-scraping, would understand that it’s out of their hands once they post it.

I’m gonna archive this post and back it up twice so future generations can witness your immense pedantry.

No.

If you post it on the internet, it’s there forever.
