Using a dedicated large diameter speaker just for the low end is a bit novel to me: I've never owned these "surround" thingies, always preferring a decent stereo system instead. Except for when my audio equipment broke down and a colleague lend me some of his with a dedicated subwoofer — that that was long time ago and I didn't use it for long.
BTW, this is Cruzan, like the rum. He’s my youngest son’s cat. I just spent the morning re-hanging the curtains in my family room due to an unfortunate Cruzan mishap.
He remains a very good boy though.

Looks like playing the game of CoC🐔 didn't work so well with the 60-year olds for some reason still working on…
🤮 …I'm sorry… Perl!

@methuselah That's mainly because Matrix is full-mesh: the conversation lives on every server, unlike XMPP where federated MUC is not a thing. There are benefits (censorship/fault resistance, saves network requests, etc.) and drawbacks (need for storage, history conflicts), I urge you to consider both. As for implementation, there is Conduit & conduwuit, which are in Rust and widely used for single-user homeservers. @froge To be fair: XMPP issues are old; Matrix ones are new. cc. @ansuz

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
