so, uh, I guess the safe advice is stop running a homeserver? Is there a way to disable media "processing" on one's homeserver? I know there may not be a clean way to do this, but I guess even nginx block rules may be better than nothing | 08:19:23 |
 dgrig | What I do is have remote media have a very small TTL, so they're deleted within the day automatically and at the same time have enabled authenticated media, so a non user of my HS can't access media stored in my server. | 08:19:28 |
| Zhaofeng Li | People were talking about blocking invites on nginx, and I suppose media is another thing people would want to block 🤷♂️ | 08:20:17 |
 Suwon Park | Hello~ Can I get an invitation to the new NixOS room? | 08:20:31 |
| Zhaofeng Li | also how did this message get through in the old #users room?

a thing Matrix famously has a track record for completing on time and without issues? Yeah, that's why I insist that viability of Matrix long-term should be questioned | 08:28:39 |
 emily | I think you can. iirc someone in here (magic_rb?) mentioned disabling media stuff | 08:29:03 |
| emily | you can also block the invite endpoint | 08:29:08 |
| emily | I think nobody thinks Matrix is good at this point, there's just lack of agreement about whether a viable alternative exists. | 08:29:27 |
| emily | I'd still prefer Zulip out of all the options, I think. | 08:29:37 |

I think nobody thinks Matrix is good at this point, there's just lack of agreement about whether a viable alternative exists. Yeah, and a lack of agreement if sticking to the horrors of Matrix wins over the costs of migrating to (theoretical) alternative | 08:33:49 |
| KFears (they/them) | The lack of agreements are certainly a pattern in a meta way, too... | 08:34:49 |

| Zhaofeng Li | honestly I shouldn't have bothered to look, but if power levels are just a suggestion then maybe matrix moderation just doesn't work | 08:38:15 |
 K900 | Power levels are not a suggestion | 08:38:36 |
| K900 | It's just an old message | 08:38:40 |
| K900 | That has not federated previously | 08:38:44 |
| Zhaofeng Li | it was way after the power level restrictions were changed (actually rechanged) | 08:39:43 |
 uep | and the room state is rather messed up and probably out of sync, which is why it was re-made already | 08:39:43 |
