@Decipher0771 @victory Neat, I didn’t know keepalived was still active and popular. https://bugs.debian.org/144100

@cm0002 @aberrate_junior_beatnik That looks like a 15A receptacle (https://www.icrfq.net/15-amp-vs-20-amp-outlet/). If it was installed on a 20A circuit (with a 20A breaker and wiring sized for 20A), then the receptacle was the weak point. Electricians often do this with multiple 15A receptacles wired together for Reasons (https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/12763/why-is-it-safe-to-use-15-a-receptacles-on-a-20-a-circuit) that I disagree with for exactly what your picture shows. That said, overloading it is not SUPER likely to cause a fire - just destroy the outlet and appliance plugs.

@wildbus8979 @Bahnd Yeah, XMPP checks all the boxes. That said, I don’t know how well encrypted group chats (MUC) work with various clients.

Also, while message contents are encrypted, metadata is not. Self-hosting ameliorates that, but if your “self-hosting” involves a VPS or whatever hosted by a giant corporation, then that’s something to be aware of.
