 colemickens 🏳️🌈 | agree | 04:22:28 |
 Jez (he/him) | colemickens 🏳️🌈 Dandellion which blog posts are these? I've not seen anything | 05:47:59 |
| Jez (he/him) | I assume that it's related to the recent spamming attacks though? | 05:48:30 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | it's not | 05:48:50 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | it's about gnome's adoption of matrix and growing pains / considerations | 05:49:02 |

| Jez (he/him) | Ah cool, thanks, my search-fu was failing me | 05:49:34 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | luckily my memory was able to fill in enough extra words until finally we got back there :) | 05:50:14 |

https://blog.ergaster.org/post/20210610-sovereignty-federated-system-gnome/ I get where they are coming from but I don't think that the author is really giving credit to how hard some of the things he is proposing. For example, guest access is a major problem as it balloons room state significantly. And cannot be classified as "low hanging fruit" | 06:01:47 |
 infinisil | Day two of weechat not being able to connect to matrix.org. Today the error is different:
16:09 -- matrix: Already logged in, syncing...
16:16 -- matrix: Error while reading from socket
16:16 -- matrix: disconnecting from server...
16:16 -- matrix: disconnected from server
16:16 -- matrix: reconnecting to server in 10 seconds
| 14:17:53 |
| sumner | Is matrix.org still having general issues? | 14:34:27 |
| infinisil | Aha! https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix/issues/283 | 15:17:07 |
| infinisil | I probably should've reported it myself when it started popping up | 15:17:26 |
| fzakaria | infinisil: is weechat nicer than Element ? | 15:29:26 |
| fzakaria | so far Element is OK. I find the same challenge with keeping notified of responses to me in fast moving chats. | 15:29:42 |
| infinisil | fzakaria: It's not "nicer", since some things aren't supported, and the UI can't support all features. | 15:33:01 |
| infinisil | But I'm very used to weechat, its UI is very minimal and easy to keep track of for me | 15:33:23 |
| infinisil | Also it's very lightweight, and it can keep both IRC and matrix chats in one place (multiple matrix accounts too, in a single window!) | 15:33:51 |
| infinisil | Note that there's a rust rewrite of weechat-matrix going on, which will add support for some more features | 15:34:14 |
| fzakaria | many of my IRC seem to have moved to Matrix; so i guess I just stopped using it.
I really liked Quassel when I was on freenode | 15:37:09 |
| infinisil | Notably the Haskell community is still on IRC (libera), and there's some other networks I'm in too | 15:42:53 |
| sumner | I've been using Heisenbridge for all my IRC needs lately (it's like ZNC, but you communicate with it over Matrix). You have to self-host it, though. | 15:44:00 |
| infinisil | Back in weechat! | 15:44:13 |

I've been using Heisenbridge for all my IRC needs lately (it's like ZNC, but you communicate with it over Matrix). You have to self-host it, though. For freenode, there was also an official bridge. AFAIK they're aiming to do the same for libera after "that event" | 15:52:18 |
| infinisil | I should definitely upstream the matrix-nio update I just made.. | 15:45:33 |
| CRTified | They're hosting their own bridge now, at least it sounds like that in the matrix weekly: https://matrix.org/blog/2021/06/18/this-week-in-matrix-2021-06-18#matrix-appservice-irc-weights-in-at-release-0270 | 15:53:44 |
| sumner | In reply to @schnecfk:ruhr-uni-bochum.de
For freenode, there was also an official bridge. AFAIK they're aiming to do the same for libera after "that event" It already exists for libera :) The bridge is actually first-class, so you can access via: #libera on libera.chat via #libera:libera.chat for example. | 15:53:43 |
