Question de non connaisseur :
Si on a un forum Discourse, il existe d'autres appli que Discourse comme "client" depuis un téléphone ?

L'appli Discourse me semble assez nase, je passe plutôt par un lien Vivaldi sur ma page d'accueil, ça fait comme une webapp (je crois qu'on dit comme ça), mais je ne sais pas si on peut faire faire cette manip à des gens qui ne sont pas à l'aise avec leurs appareils.

Merci...

There’s been a lot of #discourse around Cristian Roldan’s performance against Senegal. We had @[email protected] break down every touch to give a more nuanced analysis. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/06/touc...

so apparently a trans woman tried to get the wikipedia article about the discrimination of trans men deleted, then when she received pushback, snuck in a "you will never be a man" comment.

then, when she was confronted about it, she apologized for her actions being "stupid and immature" (but not transphobic, which is what they were actually were) and added that she's a trans woman as if that makes her actions any less shitty

TIL that #Discourse makes it hard to delete your account on purpose. Dear admins: please choose #forum software that respects people.

@eddiereasoner I think #discord is a red-flag, because it's too "low-effort", too "slumming it", too prone to future platform rug-pulls and creepy policy changes, and not reliably searchable. Far better #OpenSource alternatives exist today, and aren't all that hard to set up, for the sufficiently motivated geek: #PHPBB, #Discourse, #Flarum, #Prosody, #Deltachat, #Zulip, etc. Surely one of them, or something similar, is acceptable, given each of them, in their unique strength.

I say 600MB of RAM is passable because my cheap on-prem server has 16GB of it

Today I installed #Keycloak, am "kicking the tires" (no Docker).

My first impressions: The default db backend is #postgresql, which is cool 👍 . keycloak itself is #java-based (so connects to postgresql through jdbc. Passable). Not the sexiest language, but I forgive them, because it's a 12-year old project. It uses 600MB of RAM, with just me logged in as a web admin user. Passable. Unicode is enforced within any given database. Also cool. It passed a "fuzzing audit" in 2024, and there have been a ton of security updates recently (ver 26.6.2), what with all the AI-assisted penetration testing these days. That's also a bit like an audit. I'm happy about that. The forums are pretty slow on #Github and #Discourse (I wish there was more activity there). I'm grateful they have no #Discord "server" - which would have been a red flag to me. But surprisingly, the development activity is quite rapid these days! Tons of monthly commits. That's good.

Thanks, #Linux Foundation, and the "Cloud Native Computing Foundation"! 🙏

If anyone wants to chime in on it with their opinions, I'd like to hear them. #infosec

I love #forums, but #Discourse and its big nanny attitude is badly getting on my nerves. Prime example of how tech can't handle human issues.
