This brings back the days of trillian (the best multi-chat client for the desktop in the age of ICQ, AIM, MSN) that got killed by the raise of mobile phones and mobile chat apps.

podman and podman-compose became mainstream and replaced docker for me in "server" scenarios on rhel8/rhel9, fedora and derivatives. Glad to see progress on the desktop!

So far I started using --link-dest for rsync, as explained in https://lincolnloop.com/insights/detecting-file-moves-rename... and used in https://github.com/dparoli/hrsync/blob/master/hrsync#L52
