    As of recent Riot/web versions old messages that can't be decrypted in rooms will not be shown (saves the user from being blasted with Unable to Decrypt errors). So the messages ar…

    Jitsi is much easier to add in the latest Riot-web version. No longer do you need to set up your own integration manager. You just add the jitsi URL to Riot's config.json and you'r…

    How long ago did you try Riot? It's changed a lot in the past year, and with their encryption changes coming in the next few weeks it should be even nicer.

    Perhaps Cookie AutoDelete could help? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autode... I use it to set which site I'd like to keep cookies for multiple sessions for,…

    Can you explain? My understanding is that megolm (what Matrix uses) ratchets the session forward every hour or every 100 msgs, whichever first.

    Just a tip: old.reddit.com loads much faster than the reddit redesign. You can use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-re... to always use that version automa…

    Surely you could open it in a separate tab in the same window and then drag the tab out into a new window?

    Also worth mentioning GitCenter (here's a public proxy link https://zn.amorgan.xyz/1GitLiXB6t5r8vuU2zC6a8GYj9ME6HMQ4t/re... ) which runs on top of ZeroNet as is already in use by a…

    Ideally you'd be using multiple workspaces, and only have 1-4 windows on a single given one. I like to organize my workspaces by a category of activity. I'll have one per project I…

    Was also at the talk. The room was packed!

    AFAIK Keybase is centralized while Matrix is federated, so you can set up and run your own Matrix server without worry of a central point of failure (or surveillance).

    AndOTP is also a nice alternative, providing encrypted key backups.

    If you do make any updates, feel free to throw them into the This Week in Matrix room which may catch some more dev's attention! https://matrix.to/#/#twim:matrix.org

    Asked a Swedish security firm this exact question the other day. They said they would not hire anyone from Australia anymore, which is a shame.

    It's worth sharing that the RAM and CPU usage requirements have gone down monumentally since the migration to python3. Disroot's announcement was before the switch. The team even t…

    You haven't checked for quite a while then :) ZeroNet has supported movie-sized files and up with it's BigFiles plugin since early this year. It's effectively done torrent style, d…

    Porcupine is just wake word detection, which in itself is very useful indeed. Not sure what the plans for open sourcing the rest of the components are though.

    That's for frameworks and libraries though. This is for user-facing apps.

    Yeah no torrenting is done over Tor here :) It's worth mentioning that ever since ZeroNet gained its BigFiles plugin, you can directly stream and watch the videos on ZeroNet. Just …

    ZeroNet really is the perfect platform for this. Web-based, users can submit content, entirely p2p, very nice UI. It's the perfect platform, but nobody knows about it. If you're in…

    Give Aurora Store a try as well, also in F-Droid. Nice UI on top of Yalp Store :)

    https://matrix.org is essentially a modern IRC, but federated and completely FOSS. I suggest people drawn to an IRC-like experience without the proprietary nature of Slack and Disc…

    IIRC I think I remember him saying in a room that this bug had been fixed in the develop branch :)
