  • I did take a look at Jami now. It doesn’t really win me over. If I choose them it looks like I will have to completely validate everything myself. Given I will likely need a host server to make sure I don’t run into any issues with their p2p network and their fairly small community forum, I don’t see myself choosing them. Nextcloud really shapes up to be the best alternative



  • I will definitely check them out. Seeing how I’m in the Medical Device Manufacturer field choosing any software is an absolute hassle. With Nextcloud I can push a lot of the validation on Nextcloud since they have already published a lot to verify their claims. If Jami can hold up I will definitely choose it. Sadly time is running out quickly. I want to avoid even starting to use Teams. If we don’t switch before the 5th of May I doubt we’ll switch at all.


  • I’m in the same predicament here. What industry are you in? You might want to look into your regulatory requirements.

    My current top pick is Nextcloud Talk.

    • Element Matrix doesn’t support small business if you are not selfhosting
    • Mattermost has no Group Callings
    • Nextcloud Talk has all the features Skype had and additionally everything else that Nextcloud has to offer.
    • Teams is a nightmare, ask any sys admin. And looking at how MS plans to add Ads to the free version fo office they likely will do the same for Teams
    • Discord is a privacy Nightmare
    • Google Meet is… well makes you once again dependent on a US Company
    • Signal really just has a shit desktop application. Due to their security focus only very few messages can load from your phone
    • Telegram is not a secure service
    • Jami I actually need to check out 🤔




  • I too think lucid dreaming is the way to go. Maybe there are even some smart watches that can detect the increased heartrate and wake you. I know the Garmin Watches scream loudly af if they detect an irregular heartbeat.

    One more thing on Lucid dreaming tho. Go slow and either take full control immediately to wake up or try to do only the smallest corrections if you want to stay in your dream At least for me it feels terrible when your consciousness takes over from your subconscious. It feels like I’m tearing my mind apart, and if I’d had to guess it’s the closest that I will ever feel to going insane.
