Related: Is it possible to move your handle to another server? No. | 23:42:12 |
| sumner | There are tools that can help you move your chats, though. | 23:42:22 |
| infinisil | Damn | 23:42:22 |
| sumner | There's an MSC for portable profiles, but I think that is a ways out. | 23:42:45 |
| sumner | https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2787 | 23:42:55 |
| infinisil | I think that would be nice | 23:42:55 |
| infinisil | Especially as more people might want to self-host over time | 23:43:08 |
| sumner | It's also especially necessary for P2P Matrix | 23:43:24 |
| infinisil | sumner: How so? | 23:43:55 |
| sumner | Well, I guess it's not a prerequisite as much as it's necessary for the user experience to not be terrible. The idea is that you should be able to start using Matrix in P2P mode, and then if you want things like chat persistence, then you can move your identity to a homeserver. (Also, take this with a grain of salt, this is just my understanding of the issue.) | 23:45:44 |

| infinisil | Ohhh that's very interesting | 23:46:24 |
 Dandellion | If every device is a homeserver your user needs to be able to exist on multiple homeservers | 23:46:25 |
| infinisil | I like this | 23:46:46 |
| sumner | I haven't had time to actually read the MSC... I guess I should do that eventually. | 23:47:19 |

| kirelagin | ok, stupid question, how do I create a room on this server? | 00:37:23 |
| sumner | You can't create a room on the nixos.org server. You can create a room on your own homeserver and ask one of the admins to add a nixos.org alias to it. | 00:38:12 |
| kirelagin | cool, can I then have an alias for #deploy-rs:matrix.org then? | 00:42:44 |
| sumner | In reply to @kirelagin:matrix.org
cool, can I then have an alias for #deploy-rs:matrix.org then? The best way is to post in #matrix-suggestions:nixos.org with the alias that you want. | 00:46:19 |
| sumner | re: your question in #matrix-suggestions:nixos.org : it's fine to just create the room on a different server and get an alias to it. Rooms exist on all servers that have users in the room. | 00:52:40 |
| kirelagin | aha, ok, I see | 00:53:24 |
| kirelagin | and looks like room settings have some sort of “default alias” | 00:53:37 |
| sumner | Right. That can be set by any admin of the room. | 00:54:15 |
| sumner | So, you just need to get somebody who has admin on NixOS to join your room and add said alias. | 00:54:34 |
| kirelagin | ok, I get it now, thanks for the explanation! | 00:56:10 |
