🚨 🇮🇳 #India banning #OpenSource #Matrix clients like #Element is equivalent to banning your favorite web browser or email client.

🤯 Can you imagine if Firefox, Chrome, or Thunderbird were banned nationally?

🔑 Privacy is a human right.

➡️ And governments will never stop human rights abuses by denying its citizens' human rights.

Pass it on.

Centre blocks 14 apps in Jammu and Kashmir for spreading terror

India News: NEW DELHI: The Central government has blocked 14 messenger mobile applications that have been widely used in Jammu and Kashmir for spreading terror.

^{TIMESOFINDIA.COM (Times Of India)}

Conclusion is a big yes.

Firebase-host static files under a primary domain .well-known/matrix/{server,client}. Config server to Tailscale Funnel on ports 8443 and 443 (one federation port).

Through a Tailscale Docker container configured as a proxy, traffic can be forward TCP/TLS via socat.

From socat, traefik handles routing to Dendrite.

Was concerned with bandwidth, stability and latency, but things are looking good so far.

#tailscale #traefik #docker #funnel #matrix #dendrite

Probably a billion possibilities of improvement in this, but it actually ended up as a working setup.

I did a write-up of running @matrix Dendrite behind Tailscale Funnel.

Strictly between the two, which do you prefer using?

#XMPP or #Matrix ?

Welcome to the debut episode of the ThunderCast, an inside look at the making of Thunderbird, with community conversations about open source.

i think it would be better if the whole thing would work correctly, especially rss-bot and github-bot, before luring more users to their doom. i've been trying to integrate the rss-bot for two days and it still doesn't work 😠

If you're interested in talking or collaborating with contributors to the Fedora Project, this is how you can join the conversation!

We have @matrix channels bridged to IRC for real time chat. We have the Fedora Discussion forum for long form conversations.

Both can be accessed with a Fedora account you can create, but Matrix is also available from other accounts since it is federated.

The #Mastodon server and #Matrix homeserver don't have to be colocated. E.g. you could be on mymastodon.example.com and hook it up to your matrix a/c on matrix.org. The larger #ActivityPub instances could use a small Matrix homeserver for it users without a declared matrix address, and automatically create a matrix a/c for them for the sole purpose of DMing.

The architectural possibilities are quite wide, I suspect.

Hey, there is a new #Nheko in town!

At the #Matrix talk, nice demo of #ThirdRoom, a VR system built on the top of Matrix. You can have a #metaverse without a GAFA or a stupid startup.

#FOSDEM

Seems like #Matrix is doing OK!

#OpenSource #Chat

The #matrix 2.0 #fosdem talk was 🔥. Besides the new ElementX client being both slick 💅 and fast 🏎️, I was impressed by the seamless p2p messaging without internet. I like to see cool tech combined with slick UX.

For those of you wondering what I’m talking about, matrix is a federated messaging platform with end to end encryption and all the stuff you’d want from an open messaging platform.

Amazing stuff. Focusing on improving performance is very important. Also lurking at the progress on #p2p since some time.

Go #matrix!

holy crap.

I said it before, but today even more so: #matrix is the future!

This presentation on everything happening with @matrix is seriously mind-blowing. They're doing some absolutely phenomenal development work, and I have a feeling that the server / client experience is about to get way, way better.

#Matrix

I love #matrix, but here are some criticisms for it I just read, hope they get acknowledged by the community and the foundation @matrix :

Schade! Schon ist der zweite Tag vorbei.. Damit wir auch nur irgendwie mit dem straffen Zeitplan zurechtkommen konnten, saßen wir zwischenzeitlich einfach in Hörsaal A und haben uns per #Livestream in Hörsaal B eingeklinkt (wie die anderen knapp 20.000 Unique Viewers).

I have - intentionally - installed a whole mess of #Matrix clients on various devices, and quite pleased with their interoperability, especially in terms of end-to-end encryption.

• Element web client in Firefox
• Gomuks terminal-based client on Linux (works on my aarch64 Pinebook Pro)
• Nheko GUI client on Linux
• Element on Android
• FluffyChat on Android

I have not much to add apart from the fact they… just work 👍 Just to clarify my testing criteria: I’m using these devices for daily work so have little tolerance for inconvenient user interfaces or crashing, but I have lots of tolerance for aesthetics, emojis etc.

That #Metaverse #bullshit is definitely not the kind you should waste your tiny funds on.

I think that @blender would have more use for this tech but not a messenger system like yours.

People explicitly chose #Matrix in order to not have to deah with #VR bullshit and screaming kids in discord.

So I guess I'll stick with #IRC, #XMPP & #Zulip instead...

#UnifiedPush using #xmpp #Conversations

Now #fluffychat (#matrix) gets notifications instantly (using conversations.im server)

Just set what XMPP account (in any server) will get notified and share it in your device

unifiedpush.org/users/distribu…

Free/Open source FTW!!

APPS with UP service: unifiedpush.org/users/apps/

(you can set what server will manage the service, eventually: your own)

I have redesigned the chat encryption settings. It now shows a clear indicator if and why the chat is encrypted or not. It also shows a prominent verification button. User verification is now the default. Below you see a list of the device keys with their verification state. There you can also block devices if you like with a simple toggle

#fluffychat #matrix

#FluffyChat is now given a proper #IntegrationTests setup via MR gitlab.com/famedly/fluffychat/….

The changes include:
- testing full features against all homeservers (#Synapse, #Conduit & #Dendrite)
- normalize the app's behavior independent of platform (currently Android FLOSS, Android proprietary and Linux supported)
- set of built-in helpers in order to simplify user login, logout or bootstrap processes in all future test cases

Platform-specific workarounds just took around 30 h of work.
