Thanks for this. I went down a bit of a rabbit hole today looking into proxmix, and started thinking that a Dell optiplex won't cut it after reading how using proxmox with zfs uses more resources, plus I kept seeing people recommend ECC ram which is more expensive and is harder to come by.
I'm look at ucore, but most install instructions for things are targeted at debian systems using apt. I guess that's not a major hurdle though.
Proxmox still peaks my interest, and maybe one-day when I can afford a decent setup I'll get into it some more.
I followed the installation guide on the website for docker-compose, although I ust replaced the command with podman-compose because I prefer to use podman.
It will. I did the same thing a couple years ago. Make sure you share links to things like articles, videos, news, from the fediverse to your contacts. That helps them switch, when they see the platform in their mobile browser.
It has to start with someone. I made my entire family switch to signal by boycotting WhatsApp. I just said, of you want to contact me your can either SMS, email or install signal. It was surprisingly easy. For non family members, I tell people to switch all the time. Most of my contacts now use signal. It was worth the trouble.
You still pay for SMS? Wtf, what country do you live in? Most postpaid mobile plans these days only charge for data usage. In which case, your still paying to use WhatsApp.
There benefit would be exactly what this top comment is about. For all those people in your contacts who don't use signal, you could still use signal to message them, it would just be an SMS message. It would therefore also become more enticing for people to switch from their stock SMS app to signal, because it would make no difference in terms of who you can send SMS messages to. It would allow for the signal user base to grow, solving the issue of "no one uses signal"
