  • Most of the names you can find by looking at the Git history of Element's repos - but that seems a bit stalkerish to people that have private lives to me.

  • The error shown in the video is the one that means that they just... didn't set up video calling? It requires more setup than just the text chat for technical reasons that no service can escape.

  • Resource usage is a common complaint for Synapse hosters, you might find something like Continuwuity more lightweight

  • That is being worked on as you write :3

  • If you're British you can just say continooity. American English speakers have to say contin-uwu-ity :3

  • We have over a thousand active deployments. We've got bugs, but we're working on them. I'd suggest joining our community rooms :3

  • Rocksdb has tuning options for hard drives, but not sure Stalwart exposed them

  • On desktop? Yes. On Element X? Not yet. Requires additional setup, as it's not a core part of the homeserver

    Cloudflare claimed they implemented Matrix on Cloudflare workers. They didn't

  • Generally you can't tag stuff from your phone. Either tag it on MusicBrainz.org / ListenBrainz.org and then pull that in via Picard or Beets or make playlists

  • A lot of the people reporting issues with Matrix being slow and resource heavy are reporting issues with Synapse, which is Element's big Python implementation. My Continuwuity instance, which is a server written in Rust, uses a fraction of a CPU and a total storage in the hundreds of megabytes. A few less features, but it has most of the ones people care about.

  • I kind of don't want to bother replying to your random claims, but I'll bite a little:

    That post is now five years old, and almost completely wrong or outdated. That first paragraph is also absurd fearmongering - and both technically impossible for matrix and against Element's buisiness interests. I develop my own homeserver software, and it's recently become more popular than dendrite. I use a client developed by a friend that seems like it has more features than element (although it's less user friendly).

    Being an official standard isn't working out particularly well for ActivityPub.

  • For spam protection, we use tools like meowlnir or draupnir with the cooperation of the homeserver to allow completely blocking spam invites - so if a matrix ID goes evil you can leave the room you have with them and add them to a ban list, and you can subscribe to a variety of other ban lists to ban things in advance

  • Matrix is just as much as a standard as XMPP, if not more so because extensions actually get merged into the core spec

  • Hi there, Continuwuity developer here - This seems like an awesome idea! You might also want to see if you can use/extend the new oauth specification from MAS to create a more 'Log in with Social' like experience, too, although only Synapse supports that right now

  • This is like the opposite of what you want to do for complex software - don't add more abstraction, or you won't know what to do when stuff goes wrong!

  • Certificate transparency, unless you use wildcard certs

  • It is, although they all go.. to localhost
