@Etch9 agreed! closed-loop DMs and group chats are the only cases i deem E2EE remotely necessary. there isn't much need for it in the vast majority of groups beyond like four people
on the note of spaces: my only other complaint about matrix off-hand is that spaces are still horribly implemented by most clients. basically only cinny does this in a way i would expect, and everything else is painful.
to be clear, you should keep using E2EE for DMs. but for most regular server rooms, it's wildly unnecessary. it breaks context for new members and frequently falls apart for existing ones who don't wear their room keys on their wrist
if you're making a space, just disable E2EE. you'll be fine ;p
matrix is actually so much nicer to use when you disable end-to-end encryption, one of its most distinct features
compared to discord, i rarely hear people bring up many complaints about matrix beyond "i keep losing my messages" (because matrix's E2EE is not nearly fault-tolerant enough), and "my friends aren't here already" (every competing platform has this issue)
@rozenglass i love them, too!! and it really leans into my own bunny-adjacent vibes. unfortunately my stomach hurt like a bitch for about an hour after doing that ;p
i've previously gone through an entire bag of carrots and only felt like that afterwards. maybe i didn't chew them enough LOL
OOPS i only just remembered to post: i'm gonna be taking a break from streaming this week!! a little time for R&R and, critically, to hopefully fix some of the jank that's actually been disrupting streams as of late. hope to be good as new next week! 💫️ 💚️
- app seems to slow down to a crash after running for too long, that's unfortunate - is there a profile button somewhere? it seems like that only way i can get to my own profile (i.e. to fetch something i boosted earlier) is by finding one of my own posts and clicking on my name. not ideal!
@navi ah, yeah i mean like CTRL+T opening a new session within the same window. i suppose tmux would work in-place, though (and no shade to tmux, it's really cool and i use it often enough) i'd much prefer lean on tab functionality in the emulator itself. it feels more fluent, which i appreciate a lot in software
@kayla i tried out st for a little while about two years back, but i've found as i've gotten busier i really don't feel like tinkering as deep as st entails these days. cool if you've got the time and interest, though!
@navi just gave it a look! immediate issue i ran into though: foot doesn't seem to do session tabs? i actually use these pretty often in my existing terminal emulators and i'd rather keep it that way
last night i learned that SFTP network shares are phenomenally well-supported on linux compared to the samba shares i was using before. and it's a bit more performant than SMB. and i get to use my super-secure SSH keys to authenticate!
needless to say, i am very, very happy with this information. may actually uninstall samba from my server soon ;p
