I have to give a huge praise to people behind the Conduit #Matrix server!

It was super easy to set up and when I had problems I asked their Matrix channel for help, everyone was super helpful!

I managed to get my server in such a weird buggy state that I had to use a branch made for me lol. But the lengths @timokoesters went just to fix my issues was amazing!

If you want to set up a small server I highly recommend Conduit.rs!!!

They are still a European foundation that promotes software freedom. Changing a name is not a minor thing. They are not collaborating with the FSF.

"Software Freedom" In other words, FSFE are still promoting RMS self-aggrandizing, "'trust us with your copyrights, you can trust us, honest,' charismatic, authoritarian, entitled, misogynist, blaming rape victims, incel vision."

As someone who was briefly a volunteer sysadmin at the FSF office in Boston, I can say my impression was of a top-down, authoritarian, money and fundraising-driven organization devoted to a cult of personality of an odious person.

So done with that.

An ad hominem attack would be of the form of "FSF's statement is invalid because they are associated with RMS"

But I wasn't refuting any argument by FSF. I just asked why they are still affiliating with RMS. Perhaps before you use impressive sounding Latin words you might make sure you understand what they mean? Just a suggestion.

I am basing my opinion of what RMS said condoning and excusing alleged child rape from the actual transcripts, and the MIT report.

@Bubu I don’t think that’s true. I heard a talk pimping #Matrix at #FOSDEM years back, and I remember because I was a bit repulsed that a pro- #Cloudflare org was getting talking time there. It was the same year that #DuckDuckGo abused a time slot to advertise their #Microsoft-driven service.

Yeah. Novavax has been submitted for approval in Canada, but hasn't been approved yet. And I wouldn't be able to get Covaxin or Sinovac without leaving the country. The only other vaccine currently approved in Canada is J&J (which AIUI is similar to AZ), but it isn't being used for boosters.

BonoboNET (http://deavmi.assigned.network/projects/bonobonet)

Community wise, a lot of networking folk such as users of the #Yggdrasil routing project, some casual chatter with some #i2p users and also on the #CRXN network (http://deavmi.assigned.network/projects/crxn)

What I love about it is the simplicity of setting up an IRC network, the software is mature and just works. Likewise the user experience is "no-bas", simple parameters to get connected, SASL works as expected and it can all be done via a simple text interface. Client support is huge, you can find a client you truly enjoy and secondly almost everyone knows how to use it or is willing too, user management is not hard and is really simple. It's very lean.

Gripes, I guess timeouts when they infrequently do occur and the lost messages between such times (I use a bouncer but such timeouts can annoy me), there is a backlog feature for IRC and perhaps on the future they could update qassel to request it after timeout occurred )at such a timestamp).

#Matrix and #XMPP are two federated/decentralized instant messaging protocols. Both has its pros and cons. #Bifrost bridge is an effort to connect these two protocols. Currently the bridge does not support offline messages for XMPP users, making it unreliable for XMPP users.

The bridge being #FreeSoftware we want to fix this problem by adding support for offline messages to the bridge.

Today is the first Global Encryption Day!

🔒 Encryption makes life safer. Without it, our banking details, personal conversations, medical history, and everything in between is on display.

Now is the time to #MakeTheSwitch to encrypted services (like Tor!)

I agree that we need encryption, but this is highly misleading. If you use Tor, and then use Facebook or Telegram, it won't magically end-to-end encrypt anything or make you anonymous. Now, this might seem obvious, but most people on this planet aren't technical and genuinely don't understand this. So, yeah... the way you're advertising for Tor here could mislead some people into a false sense of security and anonymity, which can even become dangerous.

isnt the matrix server project known for sending metadata and userinfo from self-hosted servers to their flagship instance without a way to disable the data collection?

No, it isn't. There's a few things you could mean though:
- Synapse sends back some server stats to the Synapse devs, if configured to do so. This is opt-in though, and does not contain info about users, just aggregated stats on the server.
- Synapse verifies server keys via a notary server in addition to verifying them via a TLS conn with the server itself. As an admin, you can configure any server you want there, but the default is matrix.org. 1/2

- Last but not least: Element collects some telemetry data as well, so this is also potentially problematic. Again though, this is opt-in.

A thing that might actually be problematic though, is that Tor users in specific had problems connecting to matrix servers hosted by Element, including matrix.org, due to problems with Cloudflare. If the Tor project announces usage though, I'll assume those problems have been resolved by now

great 👏 could you please make a "matrix space" to gather all those rooms. This will make it easier to find/browse. Thanks!

I started working on session verification for Fractal-next. Still a long way to go, but it's a start.

Would we have SSO anytime soon?

SSO is on the roadmap, but no sure when it will be implemented.

A bit over a week ago, this Friendica instance suddenly stopped receiving posts over ActivityPub. It took me a while to figure it out, but it turned out that my server's clock was drifting, and at some point drifted to be more than 5 minutes off, which caused issues with signature verification. So I fixed the NTP configuration on my server, and now things seem to be back to normal. I've missed about a week of posts, but I guess I'll survive.

I wrote a tool in Elixir for checking the setup of Matrix servers. See more information about it in this week's This Week in Matrix post.
