Discord’s new age gating policy might be a real opportunity for open source but it’s not clear that we have anything that can compete, the complex and bizarre tale of an AI agent writing a blog post attacking a FOSS maintainer, why we lost some trust in a major tech publication, the Firefox AI kill switch arrives, and a quick KDE Korner.

On the off chance of being the 251st person to recommend fluxer:

Same GUI as discord.

It even has young people shit like Plutonium instead of Nitro...

...but missing native mobile apps might be a heavy obstacle for now.

Currently, you can use it on iOS and Android as a progressive web app via Chrome and Safari.

Selfhosting is possible and its license is GNU AGPL v3

@patnat @latenightlinux Have you been able to self-host it? I know it's a work in progress, I wasn't able to pull the fluxer-server docker image successfully, I assumed it just wasn't quite ready yet..

@woof

No, it's still a 403 Forbidden for the ghcr.io image.
Seems like the ghcr.io fluxer-server image needs a Bearer Token and docker login to pull.

Used my Github PAT to login and now it's "Manifest unkown".

Seems the image was removed or renamed.

EDIT: There's a Dockerfile in the fluxer_server subdirectory of the repo.

The Dockerfile requires Build_args like BUILD_NUMBER, _SHA and _TIMESTAMP.

Still looking to find them.
