Plenty of people are now old enough that they can go see a doctor themselves and get the diagnosis that their parents never bothered to or were unable to bring them to get when they were kids.

I have had the Sandisk Ultra Luxe 512GB version for a few years now with Ventoy on it and have been very pleased with it. I keep a cheap USB-C to USB-A attached to it and that lets me use it with my phone or on any computer.
"What is your favorite self-hosted application?" had what looks to be about 15 matrix responses.
Would potentially be interesting to see Matrix/XMPP/etc prevalence in future surveys, maybe replacing 'what activitypub apps' with a more generic 'what federated apps do you self-host'

Yeah that's going to be a very handy feature and a strong motivator for me to get the untracked amount down to zero.
I think shared hosting there is more meant to refer to the older "upload your files in webmin and we'll shove them in /cgi-bin/ with everybody else's"-style hosting where multiple users sites are running on a single instance of a webserver versus a VPS giving you a VM with SSH access?
Where the metadata goes I think is important as well.
All Signal metadata necessarily goes through Signal's servers and is tied to your phone number, but not all Matrix metadata ever gets near the Matrix.org if you are using a different homeserver.
I think both are less than ideal in that regard, and I think Briar (strictly P2P) has a much better model for dealing with this at the expense of generally being a UX disaster.
The server software appears to be available and updated now, which they've been spotty about in the past. I've updated to remove the closed-source part since that is not correct.
As for phone number: Signal still requires me to enter a phone number to create an account as of about 5 minutes ago.
Signal is centralized, ~~closed-source~~, not-selfhostable (edit: in any meaningful way) and requires being attached to a phone number. (Edit: server source is available, but self-hosting requires recompiling and distributing a custom app to all of your contacts to actually use it.)
Matrix is decentralized, federated, fully open source with multiple client and server implementations, self-hostable, and does not require being attached to a phone number.~~___~~

Plain old
docker composesince it seems to come with by far the fewest surprises and is most widely supported.Nearly every project of interest has a compose.yml available, which is hardly true for systemd services, nix services, or for podman/kubernetes.
I was using podman-compose briefly, but it is just different enough to break in unclear ways and I kept having to fight with it so I went back to docker docker to eliminate the headache.
