fivem VS umurmur

I heard FiveM (cfx.re) merged with Take2 (Rockstar) Now that Rockstar is in possession of FiveM, will it be on Boosteroid?

"Today, we are proud to announce that Cfx.re — the team behind the biggest Rockstar roleplay and creator communities, FiveM and RedM — are now officially a part of Rockstar Games.

Looks like this is the PR https://github.com/citizenfx/fivem/pull/1948

As of my commit https://github.com/citizenfx/fivem/commit/e0609bfd4984bed3c9c2bb9005668283f4cf5154 just last week, we can now edit water/wave/calming quads RUNTIME and also load XML files RUNTIME. Meaning we can edit water while people are playing.

This script has the official protection of Tebex and FiveM (Cfx.re 3) Escrow, that assures protection to both buyers and sellers. In addition, because of this system, you will get a product that is configurable and easy to understand for any user with or without programming knowledge.

More here as well... https://github.com/citizenfx/fivem/issues/1813 they marked it resolved, but it clearly is not!

I have searched the web for help but everything I have found that could possibly assist is on gtapolicemods and that site has been down for at least six days. I have sent an email to fivem support and posted on cfx.re forum - so I realize this might not be the right place to post but I am out of options, and hopeful someone can point me in the right direction. I am using zap hosting to run a fivem/fivepd server. The server is running, and I am able to connect – it also shows the fivepd loading screen. When I log in, I am dropped in as a random character but there are no points on the map, and the fivepd duty menu will not pull up. I've made sure to update the mysql login information and connected the database (I believe) correctly. The duty menu is suppose to be activated by pressing F11 but this does not work, and yes I have used the function (fn) key in combination. I have tried every button on the keyboard at this point. I was able to install vMenu via the zap hosting resources screen, and that works fine by using the M key. I feel like it may be something simple that I am overlooking so excuse my ignorance. I have include a link to my CitizenFX log file. Thanks.

So for GTA RP I've recently been looking to join the NoPixel Public Servers and I'm unable to connect to the server. It proceeds to say that "The cfx.re platform version this server is using has reached end-of-life status, see aka.cfx.re/eol for more info" - I've proceeded to look through the following link however it isn't much help and the information seems to have 0 correlation to a fix for this, so I thought I'd ask the reddit. I've been watching many streamers from the NoPixel WL community for well over a year now and I'd love to experience NoPixel for myself, even if it is just the public server. Any help is much appreciated <3

I've tried to make this argument in the past and gained no traction. What I did instead was to create self hosted chat things as a fallback for the times when Discord or Slack have a green status page but their applications fail to operate. Even light-weight daemons like uMurmur [1] or devzat ssh-chat can be handy in a time of need if a quorum know to fall back to it. Self hosted tools are also handy when one wants to share links or text that should not be on 3rd party sites forever and for eternity

Adding a more private self hosted option, there is uMurmur [1] which is light-weight enough to run on a Linux router. One of the mobile apps that works with it is Mumla.

There is of course the full blown Murmur [2] install that works a little more like Discord in that people can create channels and there is a permission system.

For the other layers one can front-end IRC with TheLounge [1][2] or Convos [3][4]. TheLounge only persists history in private mode meaning that users are created in that front-end and chat messages are in Redis. For small networks or groups of friends this is probably fine.

Notably missing is voice chat. I use the Mumble client [5] with the Murmur or uMurmur [6] server which is light-weight enough to run on ones home router. I use it on Alpine Linux, works great. It's not a shiny and attention grabbing as Discord but probably fine for everyone else. For people to create their own voice channels would require the full-blown Murmur server.

I suppose people should decide for themselves if they take the word of a centralized service. Convenience is a factor after all.

For those that have small circles of friends they wish to chat with and minimize the number of ISP's their traffic traverses, I would suggest tinkering around with uMurmur [1] There are pre-built packages in several operating systems package managers. The configuration is dirt simple [2] and the daemon is very light weight, designed to run on home routers. Use certbot to generate LE certs or just use self-signed. One TCP and one UDP port must be forwarded to the daemon, default port being 64738. One can set a server-wide password to keep strangers off of it, or set passwords per-channel.

uMurmur is not E2EE but if it is running on your own router and you are talking with your friends that you know and trust then maybe that is less of an issue. The mobile client is Mumla. Just put in the IP or hostname of the uMurmur instance.

I like https://umurmur.net/ since it can run totally headless at the cost of some of Murmur's features. Mainline Murmur (the Mumble server) requires QT5 and mDNSResponder and various DB drivers and even D-Bus if you look at it crossways

I believe quite a few people use umurmur for stuff like this. Note that it's encrypted and I don't believe that can be shut off, so don't run it over, say, HamWAN, but I don't imagine that was the plan anyway.
