>I fear it’s a rather complicated protocol.
The core protocol looks very simple but I'm sure you can get in the weeds with extensions.
>you can’t really change your keys without losing your identity
I think you're right but that seems reasonable to me. Your public key *is* your identity, similar to certain cryptocurrencies or Tor hidden services. Why would you want to change your key without changing your identity?
pacman -U. Let Pacman handle your dependencies so they can easily be removed later and only when they're no longer required.

It's a real house of cards and I'm not surprised something like this happened. I'm keeping lots of backups.
It's a real house of cards and I'm not surprised something like this happened. I'm keeping lots of backups. My setup is pretty unique but I stand by my original post. Running out of space on Btrfs isn't fun, even when it's functioning properly.
btrfs balance commands to move some allocations around. It looked like writes weren't all committed properly to the disk but nothing told me that explicitly.I did a system update in this state and I think I remember mkinitcpio throwing more warnings than usual but I was doing something else and I didn't pay close attention to them. This coincided with a power outage and there was a lot of inconsistency, making me think it was hardware related. It was just btrfs, as far as I can tell, and I fixed it by reinstalling all the packages on the system once there was enough room. Luckily, I hadn't done anything important with that computer after the system update.
I still think it's a hosting provider thing. It doesn't really matter to me, I'm just curious.
Many still recommend it as a first distribution. While I'm sure it's still well polished and easy to use, I don't like Ubuntu because of Canonical's shady practices in the past and their move toward Snaps instead of Debian-style packages.
SpiralLinux seems like the best of both worlds. I'm really very impressed. If you are looking for a distribution for some one who isn't so technical, but also something easy to fix when it breaks, consider looking into it. Use a different password for root, restrict sudo, mount /home with
noexec, configure unattended upgrades, and I think it'd be very solid. It is just Debian Stable after all.

I've started working on an update at least 3 times in the past year, maybe now is the time to get it out.

Another thing about i{Pad,}OS, it's impossible to use it without an online account with the operating system vendor. Windows, of course, is getting increasingly harder to use without a Microsoft account. The goal is clear.
So, you buy a new computer for $800 and you have to pay a subscription just to use it? There's no doubt the subscription will start out optional, but if things continue the way they're going we will get there. When that day comes, the general public will get out their credit cards and do what the computer says. I have no faith whatsoever that they won't.
Of course, by that time, I imagine you won't be able to turn off Secure Boot or enroll your own keys on most computers, making your computer an appliance completely owned by Microsoft, just like an iPad is completely owned by Apple.
Of course, on a phone, you have all those pesky permissions that people can turn off.

I also find that I compulsively type 'ls' whenever I'm in a terminal, even if I don't need it. It's strange.
1. Are you hosting your Jabber server yourself or are you using the hosted Snikket instance?
2. Does group texting work? The FAQ says it's in beta. If so, how does it work? Is it just an MUC?
If any other JMP users see this, please chime in.
Virtual hosting is another reason why it's so cheap to run my website. NFS puts dozens of websites on each IPv4 address.
SRV records are used in the XMPP core specification to determine the domain and port to which clients and servers (for s2s connections) should connect. XEP-0368 is an extension to the spec detailing how servers and clients should handle SRV records in relation to TLS connections. It says that the "Client or server MUST set SNI TLS extension to the JID's domain part."
As an aside, SRV records alone can be used, in theory, to change the default port used in c2s or s2s connections. If the ports were assigned randomly from the hosting provider, they could be specified in the SRV records and everything would hopefully just work. Again, I don't know how well this is supported in practice.

How will ports be allocated? Web traffic can go through a reverse proxy to share ports 80 and 443, but what about other protocols? Will it be possible to request specific ports like 5222 and 5269 for XMPP?
