I might finally do a technical stream this weekend. But instead of coding the goal for me will be to set up #Synapse and hook up to the #Matrix. I tried this before but got stuck on the mail server setup step, but I've been told there are other options so I guess we'll give this another go.
Will I finally divorce myself from #Discord? Probably not, but this is a good first step and if I can get this to work, then I can finally delete my server from that cursed network! 😂
So has anyone had experience setting up a #Matrix server using #Synapse? The platform itself seemed pretty straightforward until it got to the part where I needed to configure a mail server. What solutions do people use?
I want desperately to set my own server and ween myself off of Discord soooo badly. 😅
Cryo-ET of the SC-CA1 hippocampal connection from Eric Gouaux group. Nice confirmation that GluA2 N-terminus is closer to the pre-synapse than to the post-synapse!
It's retro game of the week time again -- and this week, it's the truly excellent Sega Master System version of Choplifter. A great game in its time that has aged fantastically well!
@alexkidman To be fair, the original #AppleII version of #Choplifter and it's derivatives such as the #Atari800 version that I played did age much worse (terrible slowdown issues, and an easy to reach end at a maximum score of 48 diminishes it's replay value significantly). Thankfully, the #SEGA#MasterSystem version is instead based on SEGA's vastly enhanced arcade coin-op. On the Atari 800 I recommend #Synapse's #FortApocalypse instead to fulfill your chopper cravings.
Do #Synapse#Matrix servers by now finally come with some proper admin interface, or the #Element (X) client perhaps? Or do you still have to either rely in third-party admin interfaces or curl the API directly?
Just (accidentally) done an interesting experiment while trawling through my Web server logs for another reason. It seems as though there are some /very/ old versions of #matrix#synapse servers running out there querying my well-known URI. If you're still on 1.53.0 (or even older), please upgrade!
(neo)’liberal’ licenses like MIT and BSD that enable corporations to partake of the free labour of others
implying that the #GPL / #AGPL doesn't let corps partake in the free labor of others too> and enclose the commons
Your "open commons" is worthless if it's effectively still proprietary. Case in point: #Mastodon's #ActivityPub extensions that pretty much everybody else have to support (Mastodon is AGPL, and it's not realistic to implement ActivityPub strictly to the spec and expect it to be compatible with Mastodon). Or GNUisms (implemented by #GNU software which are GPL) that #BSD userlands are forced to support. Or #Matrix where there's basically only one server implementation that is usable (#Synapse whichis AGPL). I could go on and on.
Synapse (Matrix) does a lot of COMMITs and INSERTs fucking my PostgresDB and my NVME TBW.
I am the only one using it + 2 other people so I will just shut down those services.
#Synapse instance maintainers. I kneel, having to manage a Synapse instance takes a lot of money.
My @matrix#Synapse home server is running for more than 1 year and a half on my @PINE64#Quartz64 board without any issue.
It was initially supposed to be just an experiment, but it worked so well that I continued to use it until now!
Today, I decided to move it to a cloud server to make the maintenance easier, and to solve some issues on my home network (the Matrix traffic seem to overwhelm my poor little router).
It has become among the most popular open messaging protocols, but it remains a scalability nightmare.
It's literally the Blockchain of messaging. Its current state is given by the sum of the whole chain of events received since t=0. It's a brittle append-only ledger, and any modifications you do to it are very likely to break it.
Do you have a huge 100GB database and you want to clean up old stuff? Sorry, you can't. There are some non-official solutions for compacting the events, but they're all likely to break your db - and none worked so far in my case.
Do you have users on your instance that entered a busy room on matrix.org? Then you'll get all the join/leave events of that busy room on your db, with no way of deleting them, and nothing to do unless your users exit those rooms.
Did you start your instance by toying with the default SQLite backend, and now that it's become big you want to move to Postgres? Sorry, no official guides provided, only unofficial procedures scattered across a bunch of blogs.
Do you want to change the name of your server? Sorry, you can't. All the events are tightly coupled to your server name. The advised solution is to simply start a new instance.
Such a rigid and brittle implementation shouldn't have become an open de facto standard without much questioning about its poor design decisions.
At the very least, some official tools must be provided to enable admins to compact events. If the size of the database is guaranteed to increase indefinitely, then entry barriers against self-hosting are only going to increase.
"Don't install Mastodon, they said. It will be very heavy on the server, they said."
By far, the service that consumes approximately twice the resources of ALL the others combined at BSD Cafe is the Matrix server (and its related Postgres).
"The pre-synaptic machinery emerged through modification of calcium-regulated large vesicle release, while the postsynaptic machinery has different origins: the glutamatergic postsynapse originated through the fusion of a sensory signaling module and a module for filopodial outgrowth, while the GABAergic postsynapse incorporated an ancient actin regulatory module. The synaptic junction, in turn, is built around two adhesion modules controlled by phosphorylation, which resemble septate and adherens junctions."
The Foundation is pleased to see that, not only do the forked projects remain under an open source license, but Element binds itself, through the CLA, to keeping 3rd party contributions in the open source commons.
I already ran into the first roadblock with migrating to YunoHost. 😮💨
It only supports Matrix bridges with the Synapse server, but not with Conduit. But I want to keep my Conduit data, so bye-bye YunoHost and hello barebones Arch Linux with AUR!
J'essaye de retrouver l'article de blog a propos de #Matrix / #Synapse / #Element et ce truc d'analyse de tous les chats pour luter contre le terrorisme et les abus pornographiques (dont j'ai perdu le nom 🤦)
Est-ce que vous auriez le nom ou le lien sous la main siouplé ?
