4 years using and championing the #fediverse full time and I've never written a #introductions toot. Well, or I have and can't find it.

I'm a #blind guy from πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ with a passion for #technology and #programming, particularly #lowLevel #systemsProgramming in #C, #C++, #Rust, etc.

I've been a huge #freeSoftware / #openSource advocate for the majority of my life. I run #Linux and I love open, #decentralised technologies like #ActivityPub, #Matrix, #bitTorrent etc.

In my view, technology is built to make our lives easier, and in many ways, it isn't these days. It is truly my opinion that the only way #tech can be sustainable is if it's built using #FOSS, and does not give ultimate control to any 1 entity, individual or corporate. If technology is to help the people, it must be built *for* the people.

Currently working on odilia.app, various projects with the rest of the Lower Elements gang at lowerelements.club, and a Computing Science BSC at the #University of #stirling


As the hype for #decentralized systems (e.g.: #mastodon), where no could buy the whole service, continues, I want to also introduce decentralised #communication.
Ever heard or tried a #matrix #messenger? A new, decentralised protocol of communication to allow multiple participants join the network with different clients and servers. You can choose whatever fits you best. You probably wanna start here to try it: element.io/ (Get a client, choose a server)
For more background information, see here: matrix.org/

I put together a basic proof of concept for using existing #Mastodon installations as SSO for #Matrix, using #Synapse. Here's what the authentication and authorization flow for that looks like!

While Mastodon doesn't support #OpenlD Connect, OIDC is just OpenlD on top of OAuth2.0. If your app allows configuring all URLS for your ldP you can use nearly any OAuth2.0 provider.

Avatars currently aren't supported via this (| added one) but can be! Working on a patch for Synapse!


Mainly #German #podcast:
Each Friday an interview recording of the #MatrixCommunitySummit #Berlin 2022 will be released. The event took place in August. We interviewed a total of 8 #Matrix community members.

This week, you can hear from Alex and Valentin. We talked about the summit, what went well and what activities to add next time.

If you don't speak German, stay tuned for English episodes in some of the following weeks.


πŸ“Ί Join me & @bnjbvr_en this afternoon @ 4PM CET for some cozy @matrix #WebAssembly hacking live on stream!
youtube.com/watch?v=hIbBLs1q99…

We are going to be looking at Trinity, Benjamin's supercool side project that lets you write #matrix bots in #rust & WebAssembly. Come for the coolness, stay for the endless hilarity that ensues as I attempt writing Rust code and hope live to tell the story :ablobcateyesflip:

Today I'm refactoring our rich text editor component for #Matrix. I have in mind a 3-layer structure:

* high level operations like "bold"
* medium level that preserves all the invariants (e.g. no adjacent text nodes)
* low level that does simple things like add/delete a node and does not preserve invariants

It's all happening over here: github.com/matrix-org/matrix-r…



Would #dendrite not be better suited as a #matrix server on a NAS? I run dendrite on a pi4 with #FreeBSD, and it works pretty good. I found synapse quite heavy on a SBC,


RT @SalarRahmanian@twitter.com

I think two things that makes #NixOS and #Neovim great are: (1) The Community /People are simply awesome (2) Both communities have standardized on #Matrix so I chat to everyone on #Matrix! If you are on #Matrix lets chat, if not join! Find out more via @matrixdotorg@twitter.com or AMA!

@alpsoy Aren't there alternate Matrix clients which do not have those features, and therefore do not need those (unacceptable for some) privileges?

That's what I like about #Matrix - lots of different clients.


Federation FTW! Good luck with the matrix.org maintenance tomorrow. #Matrix



... it supports everything I need and just recently added support for #CARDDAV and #Matrix.
+ #thunderbird is the only truly free bird 🐦



Hi thunderbird! can #matrix support be a priority or something? I used it but get duplicated messages and theming gone, and it's interface is not quite good as thunderbird as a whole

Here is one big addition to our ejabberd messaging server: Matrix support.

process-one.net/blog/matrix-pr…

It will come first to eBE and Fluux customers and get into ejabberd Community later.

Is there a consolidated list of all such
bridges using #matrix available?


Do you use #Prometheus, #Grafana or #UptimeKuma for monitoring?
Then you might enjoy alertbot, a simple tool that forwards monitoring alerts to #Matrix chatrooms. Adding it is as simple as setting up E-Mail alerts and much more flexible. How to get started? 🧡 ⬇️


SmallTalk is a minimal, modern, friends and family focused Android messenger. Heavily inspired by Whatsapp and Signal, powered by Matrix.

Its goals are to be reliable and stable, and have a tiny app size.

It recently started supporting UnifiedPush, and publishing beta releases on Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/det…
And the IzzySoft F-Droid repo: apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/a…

You can find out more about it at github.com/ouchadam/small-talk

I totally forgot, we released #nheko 0.10.1!

This release brings improvements to stability and performance.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. As a #matrix client starting with N, this had to come at some point. More seriously, we fixed a few crashes and also made it possible to create and manage your communities!

Give it a try: github.com/Nheko-Reborn/nheko/…

Available for Linux, Windows, macOS, *BSD, Haiku, as Flatpak or traditional package, for small touch devices and desktop!



Okay, step 1, tags: #nheko #matrix

Step 2:

NEW NHEKO OUT THE DOOR, GRAB IT WHILE IT IS HOT! No, wait, don't, you would burn yourself! But try it out once the release has cooled off a bit and tell me if you like it!

It includes moderation improvements, better notifications, faster startup, encryption improvements and way to integrate with KRunner, rofi and much more! Also lots of bugfixes and other features!

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED, YOU ARE AWESOME!

After about 15 years of using Mutt for all my email needs, Matrix support in the new Thunderbird 102 release lead me to give it a try again.

Screenshot of Thunderbird running and showing the Matrix chat feature with some messages.

While the Matrix support (beta!) is still pretty crude, it works even with encryption. Not bad and I have to admit that the rest of the application looks/works pretty well too. Maybe it's time to return to a GUI e-Mail client for a while. We'll see ;-)

RT @mnt_io@twitter.com

Latest project released, npmjs.com/package/@matrix-org/…. Node.js bindings to the Rust matrix-sdk-crypto crate. It exposes the required API to write bots and bridges for Matrix and other networks. Please come try it!
