[mautrix-telegram] What is the database I need to configure? Is that homeserver.db?
I'm trying to configure the mautrix-telegram bridge on my homeserver and I'm not sure what the database they are referring to in line 39 is (https://github.com/mautrix/telegram/blob/master/mautrix_telegram/example-config.yaml). The only thing I can imagine it being is homeserver.db on my Synapse server but I have no idea if it is supposed to be sqlite or postgres.

Show HN: GodotOS: A Fake Operating System Interface Made in the Godot Engine
Excellent idea! You'll have a mature, open standard protocol under the hood, with no vendor lock-in, excellent extensibility, and great modern frontends like The Lounge (https://thelounge.chat/) or Convos (https://convos.chat/) to choose from (and you can choose).

Wave of Spam Hits IRC
And UnrealIRCD still rocks. For a quick-and-dirty setup I've deploy ng-ircd but Unreal has always been my go-to for anything serious. If nothing else it can be useful as a backup or internal platform during the rare events that Slack or Discord are having an incident. The common complaint is a lack of channel back-log but it can be front-ended with TheLounge [1] or Convos [2]. I personally prefer to handle that with gnu screen or tmux and WeeChat [3].

Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom
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.

IRCv3 2022 Spec round-up
FWIW TheLounge [1] and Convos [2] can front-end an IRC server giving it much of the look of a modern client and also chat persistence when using TheLounge in private mode. The trade-off in my opinion is scalability. With a bog standard IRCD I can handle tens of thousands of clients per node. Adding web persistent chat adds memory usage.
