For what it's worth, I've been using element x with unified push for a month or so now and I get notifications with message contents without any delay. Maybe they fixed the issue you're worrying about?

Self hosting the call/video feature became a lot more complicated though (and it's incompatible with the old system).

A-Frame is awesome; I use it to share all the photospheres I take with friends and family. I'm not aware of another easy, cross platform way to do that.

They don't directly embrace open source, but their more advanced watches that don't require the connect app for certain features like sleep (such as the fenix series) are nearly completely supported by https://gadgetbridge.org/ - the only thing I can think of that doesn't work is the weather map. You can even update the firmware and maps over wifi directly on the watch or use the PC software.

I use it all the time to connect to my boxes at home when I'm out and about, and I chat with friends on an IRC server running on there.

Development is pretty active, and the latest release just improved the routing algorithm by having it favour hops with the lowest latency which had a noticeable improvement.

If you're looking for a big community hub within the network you might be disappointed (you could always try to set one up!), but there are a lot of people using it for their own purposes and the protect is far from abandoned.

It can do tcp/ip, but it's extremely slow. Like 5+ seconds for a character to appear over ssh with a direct connection.

That's a good question. I get the impression the system is fairly opaque even to the people working there. I was told it was "resolved" and had my ticket closed a bunch of times, only to have another 30+ copyright violation emails the next time someone uploaded a batch of files from MacOS.

If the person who finally managed to figure it out ends to reading this, thanks for the resolution :)

For sure! I made sure to have an open ticket with them until it was resolved so I'd have someone to call if some other automated system decided to shut down our services for it.

Google sent a copyright violation notice for each .DS_Store anyone at my company uploaded to Drive for nearly a year (yes, many support tickets were filed).

It wasn't Apple's fault, but it still would have been nice if there was a way to turn them off.

I was actually just playing around with distcc for the first time last night. Compiling ungoogled chromium normally takes my desktop about 12 hours, and using distcc to share the load with my laptop (with a gigabit connection to my desktop) took a little under 7 hours. It definitely improved the speed considerably for me.
