yet another window manager recomendation@rixx Niri is fun if you want to try something different. It's not any easier or harder to setup than Sway, but I don't think either are difficult, the configs out of the box are enough to get started pretty quickly. Of course if you're happy with i3/Sway then feel free to ignore
The one thing with Niri is that if you game a lot and want to run the game at a different resolution than your monitor it can struggle. Hopefully will be fixed
I don't think I can justify the usage of the lathe at work to make tens of spikes of stainless steel even if I buy my own material 💀
Does it hurt to ask? I guess I'm not aware of machine shop etiquette; if the lathe is often busy after your hours or if the wear on bits would be significant. But it does sound really cool to make them if you could
@siderea It's possible to do this with xmpp clients and Twilio. You don't need to self host anything either, though that is also possible. wiki.soprani.ca/TwilioSetup
If you didn't want to use Twilio for some reason jmp.chat (run by the same people) might also work. You'd also probably want to message their support to let them know it's a business line, but from what you describe of human replies to customer initiated messages that shouldn't be a problem.
If an Android app is optional (or the website works fine on mobile) chatwoot is another option too. It's currently only possible to map a phone number to one xmpp account, so you'd have to share credentials/wouldn't be able to see who responded, just their response. Chatwoot does not have this limitation.
@siderea@glyph I use a domain fine in my SPF record? Could be because I'm not self hosting my email, just putting in my provider's domain, I don't actually know all that much about SPF records.
food/weight gain question@luna Not a doctor, dietitian, or know it all body builder, so take everything with a grain of salt.
If you're trying to gain weight you'll need to eat more calories, and if protein powder is an easy way for you to add some extra and you like it then great. But there's nothing inherently better about protein than carbs, and per gram fats provide more calories (but there's still no single "best"). Rice, pasta, and beans are cheap.
@lumi I think the matrix folk were pushing for a modified version that didn't require retaining ephemeral key data as long for out of order messages. It looks like there are still people working on an ietf draft. Not sure if they're the same effort.
