Due to long inactivity in #Matrix, I managed to get in that dreaded state where *all* my sessions were zombies (logged in, but considered inactive, and unable to send events or decrypt new events). I know the drill, so it was easy to get back to a functioning state, but I can't say I was happy about it. (I "lost" a few months of group messages sent while I was inactive, as none of my sessi…

I don't get the #matrix hate on Fedi. Apparently federation is only desirable as long as the government doesn't use it?
Anyone have experience setting up #Matrix or another replacement for Discord? How much of a hassle is it?
I installed #FluffyChat for #Matrix and I love it!
After a recent *terrible* first attempt at using matrix as communication platform for our rather big measurement campaign in summer, I just tried selfhosting Mattermost, and boy is it a smoother experience. It's as if it was made for team collaboration, funny eh 😅
Also my first time trying out nixos-containers, very nice to encapsulate or group services together independently of your host NixOS.

I love #Matrix, but it's also an incredible mess of chop sticks and duct tape.
