Matrix servers that have it enabled (including QOTO's matrix server) allow for ephimerial rooms. That is, you can set your messages in a room to automatically delete after a certain point in time. Anyone who is the admin/mod of a room can set it. That, combined with the end-to-end encryption and identity verification really makes this a win on privacy.

Please let me know if anyone needs help.

If you want to sign up or log in you can go to: element.qoto.org

Everyone is welcome to signup, you dont need to have a QOTO account. You can also login as a guest if you wish.

@QOTO

To anyone out there hosting a server of any scale, interested in connecting with the QOTO matrix server?

What I am proposing is I will add any Matrix server on the fediverse into our configuration under room directories on the condition the other server adds QOTO as well. This wont change anything functionally except to allow the server to show up int he drop down for matrix servers when searching for servers to join. It just makes sense to have the various fediverse servers show up in that list by default.

@QOTO

Just pushed the v0.8 release of @spritelyproject Goblins! gitlab.com/spritely/goblins/-/

Still need to make the release blogpost but yay!

In the meanwhile, see the changelog: gitlab.com/spritely/goblins/-/

(And yes I did get it out the door during Hack & Craft!)

We have now added a new service to supplement the QOTO Matrix chat server; a dedicated Element web client with a ton of features baked in the standard Element web client doesnt have.

Just go to element.qoto.org and you can register for, or sign into, a QOTO matrix account.

Please reach out to @freemo If you have any questions or problems.

@QOTO@groups.qoto.org .

WOOT! Now have our own webclient for QOTO's matrix service.

element.qoto.org

It has a whole bunch of features the vanilla version of element doesnt have enabled. So good reason to use this version over the official. But the official version will work just fine still if you prefer it.

Here are some rooms you can join from the QOTO matrix server that have 100 or more users in it that I particularly enjoy:

#:matrix.org

#:matrix.org

:matrix.org

:gitter.im

:matrix.org

:matrix.org

:matrix.org

@QOTO

We are happy to announce a new QOTO service, our brand new matrix server!

Registration is open to everyone.

To either login or register a new account use any compatible Matrix/Riot client (like app.element.io/ ). When doing so you will have to set the home server to "matrix.qoto.org" (it is usually set to matrix.org). However keep in mind once logged in your username will be @user:qoto.org, as the matrix.* prefix is dropped. Similarly any rooms you create will be :qoto.org.

The best part is this service is decentralized and federated so you can join any matrix room on any other server. Even cooler you can join rooms on servers that arent federated at all like IRC or gitter.im. So you really can connect to almost any chat server out there all from one identity and server.

**NOTE**: We will also be bringing up a client, likely the same client run at app.element.io, for the added security. It wont change anything and you can switch clients once we have that up if you want. You can also download the client and use it as a desktop app.

@HeNouva Hi server admin here. Can you tell me a bit about what HeNouva is exactly. Are a non-profit and/or open source project?

@khird @arteteco @Sphinx

So I just watched a Russian movie, their take on Batman called "Major grom: plague doctor". The funny thing is the antagonist of the whole movie is this evil dude who is extremely pro-freedom of speech and is a significant point in the plot.

Leave it to Russia to basically have a whole movie to center around why freedom of speech is evil.

Keyoxide could’ve supported IndieAuth tags: https://codeberg.org/keyoxide/keyoxide-web/issues/97

This would allow you to login to OpenID sites using your OpenPGP key (I did that to leave authenticated Wordpress comments).

In general there are quite some interesting features in the pipeline: https://codeberg.org/keyoxide/keyoxide-web/issues

You can use PGP keys to unlock your LUKS partition on boot: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mkinitcpio-smartcard/

Or configure udiskie with pass (password_prompt: ["pass", "shared/usb/{id_uuid}"]). I actually have .gpg-id in that directory to unlock drives automatically with passwordless key on disk (since it’s full-disk encrypted) and my main key for backup and recovery.

If you don’t mind a couple of random points: you can make your main key Certifying only with change-usage subcommand of gpg --edit-key. As for comments in User IDs they are mostly redundant: https://dkg.fifthhorseman.net/blog/openpgp-user-id-comments-considered-harmful.html

See you later! 👋
