I’m on board with this. It sucks and it makes things a lot easier to be able to have SSO.

But I’m also peeved the SSO tax is nearly always in the enterprise tier and never in the first paying tier. Even if you’d want to pay for it, the enterprise cost is usually a multitude in price with features you likely don’t need.

They just know companies have policies that enforce SSO for compliancy reasons and are forced to pay.

But as a self hoster the enterprise tier is even more disgustingly expensive.

But the open source projects we use and love also deserve contributions ( financially ). But as a self hosted there’s also a financial incentive to self host and not take everything as a SaaS ( besides the obvious take control of your data ).

Edit: I mean I agree with the selfh.st statement and yours ( for clarity)

This forum topic claims the iris xe is not strong enough per the minimum requirements of the game.

Also, upon reviewing the system requirements for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, I found that the minimum GPU specification is a GTX 1650. Unfortunately, the Intel Iris Xe graphics is not comparable to the GTX 1650 in terms of performance. Additionally, both the minimum and recommended GPU specifications for the game are discrete GPUs, which may lead to compatibility issues with the integrated graphics you are using.

Care to give an example which anti cheat games you’re talking about? I’m aware of a few ( like the most recent battlefield) which doesn’t work because EA just doesn’t want to allow it.

But I’m pretty sure I’ve played online games which have anti cheat and it just works without any convoluted install mechanisms.

Maybe these are different games than the ones you’re trying to play.

I don’t know when you last tried gaming on Linux. It’s made a lot of improvements the past few years, but maybe the games you’re mentioning are still wonky.

Sadly that has more to do with games/publishers denying Linux rather than Linux not being able to run the game. The latter is something the proton devs can work on, the former is just hoping for the gamedev/publisher to not be a dick.

The best is pretty subjective and partially relies on what you need.

Keycloak is one of the most feature complete ones I think.

I’ve used authelia before and liked it, but it had a very bare UI and everything was done through config files which forced redeploys on changes. It wasn’t ideal for me.

I’m currently trying out voidauth. It’s got some more Ui features compared to authelia and can apparently also simulate some Active Directory queries to forward your users to third party tools for provisioning ( unless I saw that wrong, I haven’t tested any yet ).

Authentik looked nice, but I haven’t gotten around to checking that one out yet.

Signal used to do text messaging as well but they removed the feature. As they felt it was unclear when a message was fully encrypted ( signal message ) and when it wasnt ( text /RCS message ).

I don’t think there’s a privacy friendly chat app that also does RCS.

How do you mean merge?

It’s basically another messenger.

Signal is a great app to replace your messenger with. Keep in mind that it doesn’t save whatever media you post there in your gallery.

Matrix is another solution, but you’d have to self host that. I have no experience with it.

Threema is a swiss app which I think was pretty privacy respecting as well? It doesn’t use phone numbers either IIRC.

There is also this: https://github.com/alangrainger/immich-public-proxy

I think your immich gallery can even be private ( though the public proxy would need to be able access it ).

I have no experience with it though.
