german network nerds: how hard is it to get a DOCSIS3.1 media converter? I don't want a fritzbox, ideally I'd like either a coax -> 1000base-t bridge, or a PCI(e) card. Recommendations welcome!

Failing that - any pwnable fritzboxes? :3

@ariadne @giacomo I've heard Codeberg worked nice for many then.

@noisytoot @deadsuperhero @ariadne I've been running XMPP for years on a small VPS (single core, 2 GB of RAM), and it's basically offering the same modern features as Matrix, just for less than a fraction of the resource usage. Would highly recommend
