George tells me he’s clean and sober in prison, but I’m positive I saw a man (his ‘connection’) smuggling in at least a few bottles of beer from George’s beer wall in this massive yellow hat.

AITA for going no contact with Mama after she narced me, my friends, and my siblings out to the evil doctor in a phone call? Her response was wholly disproportionate to the situation. We were sent right to sleep in the same bed, but it was too crowded, and George fell off when we all rolled over. He’s now doing a stretch in Attica from the shame of it all setting him on a dark path of strong drink, nanners, and lord knows what else - he was always too curious :(

Thanks, that’s good to know. I set up the hanssonit vm - it was very easy to start off with, but it does things differently to the AIO. The AIO didn’t exist when I started out, but I’ll look into migrating at some point. It’s a fairly large install, so slightly fretful.

I quite like Nextcloud with Talk (spreed), but it’s a whole cloud suite. Nextcloud is E2EE, and NC Talk does text, voice, and video. The phone apps are nice too. The only problem is connecting more than 2-3 people in a voice/video call can be a bit much, so they recommend a high-performance backend (either a paid service, or annoying to set up yourself). It might be overkill if you don’t also use Nextcloud’s other applications, but I use a lot of them extensively, especially when feeding CalDav calendars etc into Home Assistant. Friends making an account on your nextcloud is pretty trivial, even for people who aren’t technical. I use the VM hooked to dedyn io for outside access, and it was all very easy to set up. I’ve had it running for about 6 years now, and only had a problem updating for a while, but it was resolved by the community forums.
