You probably already know that its federated, so first step would be picking a server. I would pick one that is on your continent from this list. https://servers.joinmatrix.org/

I would not recommend using the matrix.org server but im too lazy right now to explain why. (basically the same as the arguments against pushing users to lemmy.world)

I would also not use a web based client long term. In the next step you will need to for registration, which is kind of stupid, but you can just log out of the web client after the registration is done.

===========================================

Im just gonna randomly pick the server https://gemeinsam.jetzt/ (Austria) from the earlier list. From the list it links you to https://element.gemeinsam.jetzt/ for registration. If you click on “Create Account” it will give you this prompt:

After you fill everything out (+ email confirmation) you will be logged in. Now you have an account that you can use to log into a proper client with an address that look like this @username:gemeinsam.jetzt

You can now log out of the web client as you dont need it anymore. (It might warn you that you are logging out of your last device/session but thats ok).

===========================================

Now you can pick a client (there are many but these are the most up to date ones).

For desktop use: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/element/

For mobile use the newer: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/element-x/

So now you have an account on a server of your choosing and a client which means you just give the client your full address like @username:gemeinsam.jetzt to log in and the client will automatically figure out what server your account is on. Put in your password and you are logged in.

Every time you log into a new client, it creates a new session/device that will have its own independent set of message encryption keys unless verified by another existing device/session. That means to keep your keys synchronized (and messages readable) the client will always request you to verify new devices (other than the first one) upon login.

As you logged out of the only remaining session/device earlier, this newly created one should again be the first and only one of the account. You can verify this in the client settings by looking at the “Sessions” section.

Thats basically it for the initial setup. See following section for why you should have either multiple devices/sessions or set up a recovery key.

===========================================

Your messages are stored in your account data on your server, but they are encrypted, so if you lose access to all your devices, then all those messages are gone. To prevent that you can create a “recovery key” which is just a long password that is used to encrypt your encryption keys so they too can be stored safely on your server. This allows you to restore your messages even if all devices are lost by entering the recovery key after logging in from a new device.

If you want to use multiple devices just log in on that device and follow the prompt to “verify this session from another device”. (works by QR code or comparing some emojis) By verifying a session, you synchronize all your message encryption keys to that device/session. The easiest way to verify new devices is like this, by using an existing device.

Let me know if you get stuck anywhere and i will try to help you out :)

Matrix is getting better constantly tho. I havent had any issues introducing non techie people to it.

And it is slowly happening :)

The worse discord becomes, the easier it will be to convince people to switch to matrix :)

Yeah idk if these are even the same person

Lmao the cut off twitch chat message

She cut on my med till i care

It probably is in mints repositories but you will figure it out… But yeah that card shouldnt have any issues to stay cool in idle without much fan spin. Its normal for the fans to spin up pretty hard when gaming but if its during idle too then thats odd. You should add GPU usage to your psensor chart and add a screenshot of that.

Have you tried using LACT? https://github.com/ilya-zlobintsev/LACT

I have been annoyed for years but this is what saved my sanity when it comes to configuring GPUs on linux.

Also what specific model of card made by which company are you using? Fan curve config is something handled by each third party company differently.

Was best man for a friend and the whole time during the ceremony and after i felt like this was a tedious chore to them or at least for my friend. Didnt take long until the talk of divorce started.

I admit i didnt even look at the specs of that thing, because i have trained myself to see anything with an AI label on it as worthless scams. So yeah i guess you can game on it, but its the worst value gaming device i have ever seen. So advising people against buying it is still the right thing to do.

So its just a standard rasterization gpu with some extra AI label slapped on it then? Because then buying this is even dumber than i thought. Might aswell just buy a standard gpu for half the money with double the performance.

Yeah no, you will not be gaming any modern 3D game on that. A game console also cant be compared to a desktop machine like this properly in terms of software optimization.

Its also not a gaming device, as it doesnt have a dedicated gpu. It only has an APU and some AI core bullshit. Its worthless e waste and not really fit for this community imo.

All the downsides of windows, none of the upsides of linux. If that doesnt feel like advantage to you, then you are right.

There is this, but thats for looking around in your stomache and digestive tract. Still very cool tho.

by far the worst in Europe

In terms of dystopian government overreach or crime rate? Because the crime rate is surely not the worst. The overreach tho is pretty bad. They constantly try to break encryption, they try to force people to ID themselves for online services, incarcerate peaceful protesters for years, etc.

Assange is a great example of how fucking horrible their government can be.

Maybe list some arguments then? Or you just shit posting here?

Yeah, i have yet to see any actually good arguments for all this unification and merging talk. Do people just have some OCD stuff going or are there any real problems with the way it is right now?

Its almost zero effort to just follow multiple communities for the same stuff and there are clients that automatically hide crossposts if that annoys people.

Thanks i will try it out later :)

It might act like a giant heatsink tho, making your body cool out as soon as it starts melting and creating proper surface contact. But chilling in 20°C water is also not really an issue so i guess it depends on the thermal conductivity of the skin/gallium interface.
