From a time when websites used <table> or position: absolute; to place elements on the screen. That website is just one big table.

• Free Software Foundation
• GNU
• Richard Stallman’s Personal Blog
• Savannah

And pretty much the rest of the FSF and GNU websites.

I recommend Peer Calls as an alternative. Peer Calls uses peer-to-peer communication similar to Jami. You can check out Peer Calls on Github for more info.

So, in short, the things I really like about it:

• Simple to selfhost - Only one Docker container with no dependencies (database, storage, etc.) and you only need to forward HTTP/S traffic.
• Lightweight - You get voice and text chat; screen and file sharing. All of it directly P2P.
• Private - Selfhosting the signaling server will grant you control over the only step which requires a central server during the WebRTC connection process.
• No accounts - Just start using, no accounts are involved.

I’m in the same boat and also looking for a privacy-respecting platform for communicating with family and friends. So I’d also like to add items that are not yet mentioned to the list of suggestions:

• Jami
• Peer Calls - can be selfhosted; you can try it out straight away using their flagship instance located here.

I’m running RetroPie on a Debian laptop and I’m able to map all the buttons of my 8BitDo Pro 2 controller; no issues at all. I was also able to connect and configure an Xbox 360 controller just fine.

You might want to try getting help on the RetroPie forums if you don’t get any luck here.

That would be nice but what other alternatives are there? It’s either Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, or clones of these browsers.
