@matrix Looks like an amazing conference! I'm especially pumped to see the talks on Matrix 2.0, ElementX and decentralized identity!
Will they be uploaded to Peertube? (Another wonderful decentralized, FOSS platform!)
We didn't know, maybe you didn't know either? @matrix has a #migration option if you want to switch to another #instance!
But "This is a Labs feature and should be used with caution."
https://ems.element.io/tools/matrix-migration
We have #matrix #slidingsync enabled.
Also an "unstable" feature. So ".. should be used with caution." as well.
If you wanna try it just download the recently added #elementx from #fdroid
@ivan Element has been undergoing a major rewrite for a couple/few years now, which is in testing at the moment. The new version is called ElementX, and will become the standard version eventually. The trick is it needs a new type of server called sliding sync. When Sliding sync is included in Synapse and #ElementX becomes standard, it should be much faster (especially in large rooms), the UX has been overhauled and the calls should be more reliable.
It's going to take some time though.
Decided to test (again)/how #GrapheneOS works for me without Play Services. Not going well, to be honest. I had never thought that just about all the apps I care about require Firebase notifications.
#ProtonMail #ElementX #HomeAssistant
To be clear, this is not about GrapheneOS, but about the sad sad state of mobile devices. Home Assistant Lite from F-Droid can do notifications, but just never realized it also depends on Google. The myriad of error notifications after removing GSF was a bit overkill on HA.
Anyone out there which is running a #matrix server? I have some questions...
I'm running a synapse based server. Now I learned about "sliding sync". And I have no idea what to do. Do I need an extra service for this? Will this be implemented into #synapse at some point? Do I need to change my #element webclient to #elementx?
On a complete different field: How do I get phone number and SMS verification to work?
Is #dendrite the better/easier solution?
Please feel free to share/forward if you know someone which runs a matrix server or operates a #matrixchat
