Updates tagged with matrix on Jonkman Microblog!
blacksam: I updated to Fedora 40, which now includes KDE 6 and along with it a native Matrix client called NeoChat. I played with it for a bit, and it seems to have most of the features I'm used to from Element (including some cool extras like user-defined emoji). However, it won't decrypt any messages in rooms from before I first signed in with it, which kind of sucks. I guess I'll check back on it in a few months and see how it's progressed. #fedora #fedoralinux #linux #kde #kde6 #matrix #element #neochat

lnxw48a1: I'd also say there should be some !fnetworks ancillary infrastructure: * Single sign-on system that is integrated into all servers * !XMPP server, potentially one integrated with #Matrix or something like #Mattermost * #IRC and/or #SILC * code-hosting (something like https://kallithea-scm.org/ or https://www2.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki )

blacksam: I recently started using #ElementX as my matrix client, which required me to set up a separate "syncv3" service alongside synapse on my homeserver. Works great. It's my understanding that Element X is a re-write that will eventually replace mainline "Element" in the app stores. What happens then to Element users who aren't using a sliding-sync-enabled homserver? Does it just break? Is sliding-sync going to be folded into Synapse/Dendrite? If so will syncv3 be deprecated? #matrix #synapse #element

lnxw48a1: Large public #Matrix rooms are under a prolonged #spam assault. I don’t run any rooms nor any servers, but ISTM that something similar to WordPress’s Akismet should be possible, automatically blocking most spam from propagating to or through specific servers and rooms. A deluge of spam can easily push a room’s useful post / unuseful post ratio down into unuseful territory and chase away users.

lnxw48a1: #Matrix bridge to #LiberaChat #IRC network closes for indefinite time. https://matrix.org/blog/2023/11/28/shutting-down-bridge-to-libera-chat/ [matrix org] I don't know what the organizations' issues were, but when I use IRC, I'm typically idle in several rooms and only rarely post anything. That doesn't mean I'm not reading the contents regularly. But it does mean that the bridge would terminate your session and you'd have to go through the whole process of connecting to the desired rooms from scratch. I found this burdensome and incompatible with the way IRC is used, so I decided some time back that I wasn't going to use Matrix as an IRC bouncer any more. (Which also means that most of my use of Matrix has ended. I'm in several rooms where there were less than 10 posts total so far in 2023, and now I find myself not checking regularly ... and naturally notifications are turned off.)

lnxw48a1: @clacke Yes. That isn't only true of #Discord, by the way. I used to see projects nearly devoid of documentation, but they'd push you to #IRC. And same for #Matrix or #XMPP MUCs. I use IRC, but if I need info (a config setting, the setup process, etc) some questions recur and should be documented so they don't clog up the channel. Others occur so rarely that only one or two people know a fix. Those especially need to go into the documentation. Not just because of "truck factor", but because even those people can forget if there is a long enough time between the question recurring.

lnxw48a1: I did a #Mumble voice chat this evening with @a@pl.nulled.red. However, the connection here is exceptionally slow, so my client's connection kept timing out every few minutes. This happened on two different servers. Finally, we ended the voicechat. Afterwards, I did a test connection to the #Federati #Murmur / Mumble server. It disconnected once over a ten minute test. So if I do another #Office_Hours voicechat soon, understand that my connection may be interrupted. Anyway, I got some great ideas. A has been trying to document #ActivityPub itself (S2S and C2S designs), various implementations (including the Mastodon API that is often used instead of AP_C2S), as well as other #federated communication protocols such as #Matrix and #XMPP. They suggested that "a better Matrix" might be able to be built atop AP. I used to watch their game streams years ago, but the voice sounded different over Mumble. I'm told that getting a better microphone made the difference.

lnxw48a1: My use of #Matrix has really plummeted. After the last time that it wiped my bridged #IRC rooms, I decided that it isn't worth the hassle of re-adding them every 30-60 days. So now, have a few Matrix rooms (most of which are completely inactive) and one #Gitter room (bridged, I think, though the plan is for Gitter to speak the Matrix protocol soon). I left the #Python space and the rooms it contains because one of the admins / moderators was abusive toward a room member.

lnxw48a1: The #Matrix main organizations ( Vector Ltd / Element / Matrix Foundation ) are experiencing some financial issues and have laid off some employees. The blog post is at https://matrix.org/blog/2022/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update-2022/ [matrix org] They note that they provide everything under permissive licenses and then wonder why giant corporations adopt their technology without giving anything back. Well, that is something that MongoDB and some other no-SQL databases have had to deal with. Their userbase insists on permissive licenses, then the largest and most profitable users refuse to support the organizations that pay the developers. In many cases, the result is some custom non-free license (generally masquerading as “open source” but neither free software nor open source software) meant to extract money out of users who make money using the product. Personally, I’d rather see #GPLv3 / #AGPLv3 without a “buy a commercial license to avoid responsibilities” plan going into widespread use, but that’s sure to greatly reduce revenues. It probably means paid support is the main funding model. But anyway, I think that Matrix has done really well for something that is inherently inferior to #XMPP, but has a pretty face and good marketing team.

lnxw48a1: I do use #Matrix a little, but I have been saying all along that I don't like the way they bolted on end-to-end encryption (E2EE) after the protocol was already in use. There are constantly issues (see the \#element-ios:matrix.org and \#element-android:matrix.org rooms for regular traffic about issues related to encryption and the "verify my device and session" process that should never appear. And there is no concept of a contact ... there is some simulation in the way one-to-one chats are labelled, but there are some weird things that can happen if one expects that a list of those chats are a contact list.

blacksam: Some friends and I have a private Matrix room that we've been active in daily for several years. I've had the thought that it would be fun(ny) to train a bot using our chat history and have it simulate us talking to each other in a dedicated room. However, I have almost no practical knowledge of how to implement machine learning or language processing. Can someone point me to some resources a noob could use to get started? I'm very comfortable in python. #matrix #chat #friends #machinelearning #artificialintelligence #programming #lulz

lnxw48a1: Fortunately or not, nearly all of my contacts have abandoned #Matrix because of non-decryptable messages. “The sender’s device has not sent us any keys for this message.” Which means no encrypted messages to be affected by this flaw.

lnxw48a1: I guess Syphon ( #Matrix client for #iOS ) got updated. I had to re-enter all my info. I don't know why they did it that way. I probably should have just deleted it and used the FluffyChat client instead.

lnxw48a1: And that was enough to bounce me out of any remaining #Freenode rooms which I was in via #Matrix. I’ll remove myself from the Matrix side of those same rooms and I’ll be good.

lnxw48a1: This report makes it clear that it is now time for all projects to move off #Freenode #IRC. https://www.devever.net/~hl/freenode_abuse You can move to #LiberaChat, to #OFTC, to #Rizon, etc. Or use #Matrix or an #XMPP MUC instead of IRC. Just don't "wait and see" and be surprised when your channel is targeted.

lnxw48a1: So with all the fuss around #Freenode, I recently realized that I hadn't logged into #IRC directly (as opposed to through #Matrix) in a couple of years. Checking, I found this: * Freenode account: closed. * OFTC account: still open, but since I had no IRC client installed, no idea what channels / rooms I used to use. * Rizon account: still open, but no idea what channels / rooms I used to use. * LiberaChat account: newly created. I haven't ever really been a fan of IRC. I couldn't stand it at all until I started using #SILC several years back. (I haven't used that in at least 3-4 years. I should take a look at it, again. When I quit using it, the channels I used on the main silcnet.org network were mostly very quiet.)

clacke: It seems the pages to watch regarding when #matrix will bridge with #libera are: github.com/matrix-org/matrix-a… github.com/matrix-org/matrix-a… The last comment on the issue says:A libera bridge is in progress: have patience, and join #irc:matrix.org on Matrix for updates.

lnxw48a1: On the other hand, #Matrix's bridge to #Freenode seems to powercycle at least once per day, resulting in me being kicked out of rooms unless I identify to NickServ quickly enough. (If the #IRC side kicks you, the Matrix side obliges ... and the Element client does not even save that room so you can rejoin easily after you identify. I dislike rejoining "#freenode_#roomname:matrix.org" so frequently. Maybe I should set up a bouncer and use and IRC client.

lnxw48a1: It has been so long since I used my #Freenode #IRC logon directly (as distinct from the one that #Matrix created for me) that it is apparently closed. I was surprised to find that I didn't even have an IRC client installed on this laptop. I guess that is a sign that I am free to move to LiberaChat ... but I may just wait until #Matrix has bridging to that network and then allow it to create an account for me.
