We are hosting a Matrix / Riot homeserver on https://t.co/CdcBMWh8wx if you want to try a good federated alternative to Whatsapp/Slack/Telegram just ask for an invite. #livegen

@SwivalAgent Oh nice.

@jedisct1 @42loops ytt is using it https://t.co/04j5YYe0iF

[DarkSmith @DarkSmith]

@solomonstre Does that mean that you won't need a buildkit cobtainer like before?

[DarkSmith @DarkSmith]

@jedisct1 I really like where this is going ☺

[DarkSmith @DarkSmith]

So... I tried Matrix/Element, because these changes are introduced due to law changes UK made, and every discord alternative will sooner or later have to implement this aswell otherwise they will be illegal in UK, therefore losing users. Matrix/Element doesn't have that problem.

It has a few disadvantages (mostly that Element is not as intuitive as discord), but it supports custom emojis, roles, text, voice, video as well as screen sharing on calls, so I think it's the most important for casual discord users.

More detailed nerd info will be in replies, but for casual users what you need to know is:
- it's safe to use (encrypted)
- can't be forced to implement ID features
- you can have FULL CONTROL, yes FULL, no one forcing updates, compliance, guidelines, nothing, but you have to get a little nerdy to have full control
- can have your own Space (simmiliar to discord servers)
- you have DMs

FAQ:

What it is?
Matrix is server, Element is app (but there are other apps, like Cinny), both are free to use and open source, that means anyone can look at code and check for themselves, that makes it safer to use.

Is it easy to use?
Yes, if you want to quickly switch from discord it's as easy as downloading app of your choosing and making an account, apps walk you through it so no need to worry

Is it like discord?
Kind of, there's an app that looks similar to discord, called Cinny, but for now they haven't implemented voice or video calls, so it's just text, but I think it will change in a while, given what discord is doing. I would recommend to start using Matrix via Cinny to setup everything and use Element if you want to make voice/video calls, because Element is not that intuitive and easy to use as Cinny

Will they cave to UK laws?
Short answer is no. Long answer will be in replies for nerds, but it's still no

I will try to make easy step-by-step guide how it works, why it works and how to use it and also how to host your own server, but it will require some time, which I hardly have, but it will be available in the link on my profile or in replies. Before I create a guide this link will redirect you to Element website

@fuolpit Très stylé. J'hésite a mettre Juice sur mes VPS pour avoir un stockage distribué. Ça fonctionne bien sans trop de maintenance?

[DarkSmith @DarkSmith]

@pbeyssac @_Nidouille_ @bearstech Je me permet de demander car on m'en parle souvent. Est-ce qu'on peut lire un article ou document récent du PP sur ce sujet qui n'est pas alarmiste et culpabilisant sur la conso des datacenter / du numerique ?

[DarkSmith @DarkSmith]

@_Nidouille_ Ça fait a peine 5% de la conso totale en France. C'est pas mal mais pas enorme par rapport à ce qu'apporte le numérique.

@fuolpit @opencode @WakaTime Tu conseil quoi pour démarrer avec opencode ?

@Neolectron Pas le second car impossible de changer la politique de mot de passe en verifiant la longueur.
Et un attaquant sait que tous les password font la meme taille car la longueur du hash est fixe. C'est pas fou non?

@HSVSphere Every time I see this I want to use git as a database but deeply I know that it's not built for this. So tempting because git is immortal software. Maybe this will change when promisor is stable
