til why m-a-i does this sometimes
whitequark[cis]1 has quit [Quit: Reconnecting]
whitequark[cis]1 has joined #wayback
whitequark[cis]1 is now known as whitequark[cis]
<f_>
whitequark[cis]: Does what?
<f_>
broken pings?
<f_>
In reality it tries to use formatted_body but fallbacks to body if it ever sees an <a> or something
<f_>
guess what? Mentions generate an <a>!
<f_>
and also clients are completely free to put whatever they want in body wrt mentions. Some put the displayname, others put the MxID, others put a [markdown](link), it's a mess
<whitequark[cis]>
i think the reason it sent an mxid instead of the displayname is because the irc puppet has quit the room
<whitequark[cis]>
you still have to run a homeserver for heisenbridge, no?
<f_|cis>
yes
<whitequark[cis]>
that is so miserable
<f_|cis>
I understood your message as "I want to stick to matrix for the time being"
<whitequark[cis]>
i'm fine running a homeserver for catircservices because there, there isn't ever going to be data loss
<f_|cis>
maybe misunderstood
<whitequark[cis]>
but i don't trust either synapse or conduit in terms of "not locking me out at a critical moment", and dendrite seems to... it got deprecated din't it
<f_|cis>
dunno
<whitequark[cis]>
f_|cis: oh that's a shame, i would have switched over otherwise. one of the primary uses of the bridge is to host things like screenshots
<whitequark[cis]>
> The Matrix.org Foundation is not able to resource maintenance of Dendrite and it continues to be developed by Element
<whitequark[cis]>
oh, one of the parents got custody during the divorce
<f_|cis>
lol
<whitequark[cis]>
but the bigger problem is that i set it up and it plain didn't work with, i think, heisenbridge?
<f_>
weird
<f_>
worked fine when I tested it
<f_>
in someone else's homeserver that is
<whitequark[cis]>
it might've gotten fixed since i last tested it, which was a few years back
<f_>
I know some people using heisen daily
<whitequark[cis]>
but yes, i can't entirely migrate to irc since most of the people i talk to, i talk to on matrix
<whitequark[cis]>
more realistically i could migrate to discord, which i despise even more
<f_>
matrix2051? :D :D :D
<whitequark[cis]>
i'm very interested in the fork though
<whitequark[cis]>
hopefully someone who isn't me fixes the authenticated media support
<f_>
basically the person who forked it told me they didn't like upstream's implementation of auth'd media
<f_>
so, "ripped out until it's redone better by them (the author)"
<whitequark[cis]>
oh.
<whitequark[cis]>
no chance then
<whitequark[cis]>
since i presume it won't keep old links working
<f_>
in the meantime you could disable authd media on the HS
<whitequark[cis]>
hm
<whitequark[cis]>
i thought it's mandatory
<f_>
no it's not (for now)
<f_>
you can re-enable the non-authd endpoints
<f_>
though it will be removed in the future I heard
<whitequark[cis]>
mm, not inspiring
stacksize has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]

<f_|cis>
<whitequark[cis]> "but yes, i can't entirely..." <- I imagine you'd like one app for everything no?
<whitequark[cis]>
that was the promise matrix sold me on. i used to almost have it. but unfortunately, (a) discord exists and i could only convince two people who i talked to directly to talk to me in a bridged discord channel instead and (b) telegram has proven too useful to eradicate and (c) unfortunately for this goal, signal has improved to the point it's not actually unusable
<f_>
I rely on xmpp for that, I just recently moved infra and thus have to setup the bridges again
<whitequark[cis]>
it's been about seven years since i had anyone to talk to using xmpp
<whitequark[cis]>
and i've been an xmpp enthusiast since high school
<f_>
I mean, I use xmpp bridges to matrix/whatsapp/etc
<ToyKeeper>
This is really making me want to put my projects on hold and get my personal chat aggregator working. The tech has improved since last time I tried, so it should be much more feasible now.
<ToyKeeper>
(private matrix server with bridges to every network I use, plus making a matrix logging client so I can keep my history all in one place in one format)
<ToyKeeper>
Last time, I stalled out because the libraries I relied on didn't support matrix spaces yet. So I stopped to wait for that, and haven't gotten back to it.
<ToyKeeper>
I wonder if there's an easier solution now. Last time I tried, this all felt a bit excessive for just a personal omni-bridge, and seemed like it'd take a nontrivial amount of maintenance.
