I don’t think there’s anything with an audit at the moment, which is one reason I haven’t switched yet

We’d considered that. There isn’t much interest in using XMPP from people in the space. We have a lot more users by virtue of using matrix. I would really prefer not to use matrix due to its various organizational and security issues, but at the moment it’s just the only good choice. I am looking at new projects coming out that could be viable alternatives though, and may switch when they become more mature.

No, you! :3

Happy birthday!! May all your weeks be nice!

No, you!

It runs quite well actually. I run it on a single board computer and haven’t had any issues apart from one time when a bug caused message delays and I had to downgrade for a little while until the next release.

There’s already a proxy involved. My actual residential IP is not public. The traffic itself is also encrypted end to end so the VPS provider never actually gets to see plaintext traffic.

I don’t run any of my services on a VPS for privacy reasons. They all run on my own hardware completely under my control and supervision. I also don’t currently have the money to pay for the extremely powerful VPS(es) I’d need to run all my services. I have over 50 running.

It’s dendrite, but yeah, I’ve been doing it for years

That’s a DSL modem, right? We have cable, so that wouldn’t work unfortunately.

No, you!

No, you! :3

Haii :3

Ugh, is that bug back again? Looks like I’m going digging around in some Rust again lol.

I swapped all the sites and apps I use for ones I run myself. It’s really fun :3

That’s just the redirect at /. A better test would be curl 'https://genzedong.xyz/_matrix/client/versions'.

Weird. Can you connect now?

It should be up. I never got a notification that it was down and the logs don’t show anything about it being down.

Oh, that’s what you meant. Yeah, that could be an issue, but I imagine at least some hosts will pay for the API if it affects them, depending on how much it costs. Hopefully they can continue to work. If not, it might be time to do some web scraping and get around the API.
