 erdnaxeli | I suppose the bridge is confused
| 22:23:13 |
 Daniel Kessler | yeah but if you send a message to yourself on messenger.com, it shows up in matrix | 22:22:41 |
| erdnaxeli | yep
| 22:23:52 |
| erdnaxeli | I mean it looks "normal" that you can't send yourself messages from matrix
| 22:24:19 |
| erdnaxeli | actually it looks like the bridge does not get the message from matrix
| 22:24:37 |
| Daniel Kessler | Ohh | 22:24:04 |
| erdnaxeli | yep, I know why
| 22:25:31 |
| Daniel Kessler | are you the developer? | 22:24:54 |
| erdnaxeli | the bridge register only the user namespace, not any room namespace
| 22:25:52 |
| erdnaxeli | so as there is not bridged user on the room, the bridge does not get the messages
| 22:26:08 |
| erdnaxeli | i'm a contributor
| 22:26:11 |
| Daniel Kessler | i see | 22:25:55 |
| Daniel Kessler | do you think there'd be demand for an IRC puppet bridge? I'm considering writing one | 22:26:10 |
| erdnaxeli | if you add this to you registration file it works as expected:
aliases:
- exclusive: true
regex: '#facebook_.*'
| 22:30:14 |
| erdnaxeli | I don't know for an IRC puppet bridge, the current IRC bridge works fine already | 22:30:58 |
| Daniel Kessler | yeah i but i like to use my irc client | 22:30:38 |
| Daniel Kessler | and i can't have my client and a bridge share the same nick | 22:30:59 |
| erdnaxeli | how would it work? | 22:32:24 |
| erdnaxeli | the bridge cannot use the same connection as your irc client | 22:32:34 |
| Daniel Kessler | you'd either use a bouncer like ZNC, or the built-in IRC proxy server that irssi provides | 22:32:09 |
| Daniel Kessler | is it possible to use matrix with an IRC network that doesn't have a server-side bridge? | 22:33:05 |
| erdnaxeli | nop | 22:35:18 |
| Daniel Kessler | yeah so that's a consideration too | 22:34:40 |
| erdnaxeli | yeah a bridge with a bouncer or something like that would work | 22:35:43 |
| Daniel Kessler set their display name to Daniel Kessler. | 22:36:06 |
| Daniel Kessler removed their display name Daniel Kessler. | 22:38:06 |

 GoNEB! | [matrix-hacks/matrix-puppet-imessage] kfatehi opened issue #13: Handle live photos [open] - https://github.com/matrix-hacks/matrix-puppet-imessage/issues/13 | 00:20:25 |
 kfatehi | i use matrix-appservice-irc -- although I don't participate on IRC much these days so I haven't needed much more than just bridging a friend's room into my Matrix so i can speak there through my matrix client. | 00:23:04 |
| kfatehi | I used to have ZNC set up and all that. I can imagine combining ZNC with matrix-appservice-irc could be useful, espcially for your connection sharing scenario. | 00:23:46 |
| kfatehi | @daniel:dkess.me: im the primary maintainer for this project -- let me know if there's anything i can do to help you evaluate the project-- i am always looking for ways to improve the documentation; i know the matrix bridging stuff can be pretty confusing. | 00:25:21 |
