Hey #nix and #nixos people!
I wrote a matrix bot for nixpkgs pull request notifications.
It‘s like the cool https//nixpk.gs/tracker.html by @qyliss, which shows you which release channels a pull request has reached.
With the bot you can subscribe and get notifications, whenever it reaches a channel instead of hammering F5 in your browser tab.
Just open a query to https://matrix.to/#/@nixpkgs-bot:maralorn.de and send "help".
Looking forward to you all stress testing it!

Matrix - Decentralised and secure communication
You're invited to talk on Matrix. If you don't already have a client this link will help you pick one, and join the conversation. If you already have one, this link will help you join the conversationmatrix.to

neat! They looks really good. What could be really useful would be a feature to automatically subscribe to all prs by a user (your own fire example) and by label, so security-discuss could subscribe to all prs labeled with security.

This is insane. Our provincial government decided that they didn't want to pay education workers a reasonable wage, so they imposed a contract by legislation, and took away their right to strike. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/cupe-strike-education-ontario-schools-closed-1.6640386
I recently bought a new keyboard. My (20-year old) Kinesis was dying, so I needed something new. I opted for a split keyboard, this time, so that I could angle and tilt it however I wanted. I got a cantor remix, pre-built by BeeKeeb (because I don't trust my soldering yet). It takes a bit to get used to only having 36 keys, but it's quite doable. I hope to do a longer writeup on my blog at some point, but the summary is that there are some things that I wish were different, but overall, I'm liking it.

We're officially proposing Matrix-over-MLS to the IETF for interoperable messaging transport & message formatting as part of the MIMI (More Instant Messaging Interoperability) working group.

Our Matrix server recipe now supports bridging with Telegram, Discord and Signal! If you're looking to bridge online community chats, drop in to our Matrix channels to get some help setting things up. We have at least one fellow-hoster using and maintaining the bridges so far... see the configs on https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/matrix-synapse

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: https://github.com/Nheko-Reborn/nheko/releases/tag/v0.10.1
Available for Linux, Windows, macOS, *BSD, Haiku, as Flatpak or traditional package, for small touch devices and desktop!

Me: Oh no, we're running out of thyme?
Wife: We have some in the basement, we just need to get it and refill the container.

There's been a HUGE amount of progress in Matrix since the start of 2022, so here's a Special Edition Summer Gala update featuring Sliding Sync, Faster Joins, matrix-rust-sdk, Scalable VoIP, Third Room and more. Is that Matrix 2.0 on the horizon?! 🏝🌞🏄🚀 https://matrix.org/blog/2022/08/15/the-matrix-summer-special-2022

Great to see the project enjoy leaps and bounds in terms of features and performance improvements. The amount of work you folks put in is impressive. Congrats on the fruits of your labour, and thank you.
I wish there was an official app made by Matrix to use Matrix. If there is not, in any case unknown. 😅
#PGPainless is now available in #Debian sid!
Huge thanks go out to Jérôme Charaoui for doing the packaging work!

GnuPG has some difficult facets, yes. But PGPainless' primary goal is to improve the library ecosystem for Java, and pgpainless-cli is a neat by-product :)
I'm looking for #Matrix community volunteers to help me organise a stand and DevRoom at #FrOSCon.
For the stand we want a small group to explain Matrix to others. For the DevRoom we want some talks and workshops. Anyone's welcome to ask me for more info or to get involved.
Tonight, I started preparing and updating my talks for the upcoming conferences. 👨💻

Today saw the world’s first native-Matrix video conference powered by a native-Matrix selective forwarding unit, thanks to @BrandnerSimon@twitter.com, @_pion@twitter.com & @ara4n@twitter.com. This is the key missing ingredient to letting native-Matrix confs scale to hundreds of users (and more!). More updates soon!

There is usually quite a bit of similarity between words in the Romance languages. However, there's one exception that I've noticed: "butterfly" is very different in at least the four most common romance languages: es: mariposa, pt: borboleta, fr: papillon, it: farfalla Linguists of ActivityPub, can anyone explain the divergence for that word?
No idea about Romance languages, but the German word for butterfly is one of my favourites: Schmetterling
That basically translates to "Smashling", i.e. a cute form of someone who smashes stuff. It kinda makes sense, but also explains why German is such a beautiful language.

Please boost for reach. So, anyone that is working on FOSS projects like web apps, sites, Linux apps, desktop environments, or other user interfaces, please let me know if you want them tested for accessibility. I can do both CLI, web, and GUI testing, and app testing on Android. I'm running Debian (on a ChromeBook but that's not too important), so just give me the name of the package, or the URL of the site or app. I can also do Flatpak!

In order to download XCode, I have to create an Apple account, which involves giving Apple my phone number? No thanks.
On the plus side, it's taken less than 40 hours for the progress bar to make it past the half-way mark. On the minus side, the progress bar hasn't moved for the last little while, and is no longer giving a time estimate.
Finally installed. Why is macOS so hard to use? I prefer being able to just "apt install gcc".

OK, I got the strangest spam message today. It was someone asking if I performed liposuction, and claiming to want to book a consultation for their mother. I don't really understand what their scam is. Are they actually hoping to get responses from people who do perform liposuction? I can't imagine that they'd get very many responses, as a percentage of the number of messages they send out. But I guess sending spam is cheap. Or are they hoping to verify active email addresses from people responding and saying that they don't perform liposuction? It just seems like a really strange spam message to send.
