Da un po' sentivo parlare di #Matrix, stasera finalmente sono riuscito a leggere qualcosa.Mi sembra che alla fine Matrix sia il vecchio (e amatissimo) #IRC.Sbaglio di molto? 😁"Certi amori non finiscono, fanno dei giri immensi poi ritornano" (A. Venditti).

@fluttersh @antoniovr @matrix @xmpp True — VPS self-hosting shifts trust, doesn't eliminate it. You control software, but the provider controls hardware.Full sovereignty requires physical control: home hosting or owned infrastructure. That's the trade-off between convenience and trust minimization.

DI-Day im #c3d2Der @c3d2 lädt zu mehr digitaler Unabhängigkeit ein und wir kommen mit vorbei.Ihr habt Fragen zu freien Messengern wie #Matrix oder #XMPP, #Linux, dem #Fediverse oder anderen #OpenSource-Themen? Dann kommt gern am Sonntag den 4. Januar ab 14:00 Uhr in die Räume des c3d2, Riesaer Str. 32, #Dresden.#DIDay #DIDayHelpdesk #DIDAySprechstunde

Il prof. di #filosofia di mia figlia ha (anche) chiesto di guardare #Matrix come compito per le #VacanzeNatalizie … alla fin fine è una versione moderna del mito della caverna di #Platone. Voglio tornare a scuola, con professori così! 😜

@michaela @danielJa, @mailbox_org nutzt meines Wissens einen sieben Jahre alten #ejabberd. Möchte nicht wissen, wie viele längst gelöste Bugs da drin sind, schlimmstenfalls auch #security bugs.#aTalk kenne ich vom Namen her, aber ich kenne niemanden, der diesen #Jabber client nutzt. D.h. es wird vielleicht etwas schwieriger dafür Hilfe zu kriegen.Bei Matrix ist es auch so: Manche clients funktionieren nicht mit manchen servers 🤷

@snow allora è federato, ma non ricordo di averlo fatto... @fediverso @addio-big-tech

@firekeeperI was talking about Fairphone with /e/ OS.That should be degoogled.

@snow @fediverso Ciao, sono su Bida 🙂

@francesco ma insomma... io mi appoggio ad un servizio per la mia istanza. Al di là di crescere una generazione: l'argomento deve interessarti e avere delle capacità che puoi non volere o non essere in grado di acquisire. Piuttosto cresciamo le nuove generazioni con consapevolezza, poi ogni persona decide avendo tutte le informazioni.

#BoxyBSD chat is now also available in #irc! People asked for old school possibilities to take part on the BoxyBSD chat and here we go! Finally, you can also simply join #BoxyBSD on Libera (next to your #FreeBSD channels)! This bridge was written by @gyptazy to support additional chat communications.Important: This IRC channel is bridged between #Discord and #Matrix to have a unified communications flow without splitting the community. If you don't like Discord, please don't join this channel!Infos about how to connect by IRC to Libera IRC:- https://libera.chat/guides/connect#FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #DragonflyBSD #MidnightBSD #OpenSolaris #Debian #FreeVPS #VPS #FreeVM #VirtualMachines #OpenSource #BSD #RUNBSD

Oh, this is so f***ing gold. This post is a juice concentrate of the many reasons why Matrix sucks:https://yaky.dev/2025-11-30-self-hosting-matrix/Among others:Users cannot be deletedThis is simply not an option in the API. Server admin can perform a "deactivate" (disable login) and "erase" (remove related data, which claims to be GDPR-compliant) on user accounts, but the accounts themselves stay on the server forever.LOL.Here is my take on why you should trash Matrix and use XMPP, or ta least Signal instead:https://gagliardoni.net/#im_battle_2025#im #matrix #jabber #xmpp #signal #privacy #security #enshittification #cypherpunk

Sono proprio felice di iniziare a vedere altri #admin del #Fediverso riuniti nello stesso angolino.È normale che siamo tutti un po’ sulla difensiva (me compreso), la stanza è nata da un solo giorno… ma siamo già in 20!La verità è che stare ognuno nel proprio fortino e non collaborare è controproducente; se non troviamo un vero punto d’incontro, rischiamo solo di farci schiacciare dai soliti social commerciali che già bussano alla porta con il loro “ciao, vi inglobiamo tutti?”.Chissà, magari tra un po’ ci rilassiamo, abbassiamo gli scudi e iniziamo davvero a fare squadra, aiutarci e costruire qualcosa di bello insieme… senza campanilismi e senza “il mio server è più bello del tuo”.🙏

My vps 1cpu stopped running reliably, thanks to #matrix using huge amounts of diskSetting up #xmpp with a reverse proxy is undocumented. #Deltachat server hosting script doesn’t work with the latest python I’m really struggling for #selfhosted chat options. #databag #nostr

Tech people talk about tech too much. I really really REALLY want to use all the awesome privacy friendly FOSS (and similar) stuff, but I am not a techie person! I don't know how to program, nor do I want to. And every SINGLE time I try to find out even what thing (OS, program, app, service, etc) to use, let alone how, and I search for it... I get techie-focused answers. It's complete gibberish to me! Absolutely useless. It makes me feel actively unwelcome even though I really care about using alternatives to Windows, Meta, X and other dystopic nonsense. For example: I'm like "How do I start a non-enshittified group chat to talk about a thing?" and all the results are technobabble to me. I don't even know if the words they use are supposed to be normal english words or if they refer to orgs or groups or apps or some weird coding wizardry. I am so lost, every single time. I stick with it though. But like. I wonder if the tech people realise that this is happening???? Because they probably understand what they're talking about. And they seem to not realise that not everyone does. I'm not trying to blame or shame anyone or even complaining as such (a little bit complaining, ngl), mostly just giving feedback. This is not an issue with a singe thing but with ALL of it as a whole! Including #GNU #Linux the #Fediverse #Matrix and most #FOSS apps. My sincere wish: Give non-techie people an EASY TO FIND and easy to read and easy to understand and easy to implement guide about how to use the things as an alternative to using big corporation services, ie, "I just want it to work" and not have to worry about the technical side of things. (examples in thread)

@mariosiniscalchi in teoria si, in pratica chi ci trovi dentro briar?Nessuno, quindi il miglior compromesso è Matrix. Ok qualche metadato lo cedi ma se stai su un server noprofit comematrix o mozilla non hai problemi, visto che non monetizzano i dati.
