⸘Amgine‽ | In reply to @instantchow:matrix.org how to you even have room versions that differ?? Matrix has a steadily developing security stance for security and anonymity. Room 'versions' are because there is no way to 'upgrade' the history of a room, so if a community wants to improve security they are really just creating a new room and abandoning the old one - but leaving a way for members of a room to find out about the change. | 21:17:52 |
instantchow | Interesting, so everyone needs to get out and come back? Kinda like when my partner wants to clean up the house, we all have to wait outside for a few. | 23:36:19 |
instantchow | I'm getting ready to start my own matrix server... | 23:37:03 |
instantchow | Hence my interest | 23:53:51 |

⸘Amgine‽ | <grin> Well, it's a bit easier than cleaning house. Basically, when people go to look at the room, when it has been upgraded they all get a link to "join the new room". One click and you're in the new space. | 00:45:09 |
⸘Amgine‽ | In reply to @instantchow:matrix.org Hence my interest Which server are you going with? I am currently leaning toward Dendrite. | 00:45:42 |

instantchow | In reply to @amgine:matrix.org Which server are you going with? I am currently leaning toward Dendrite. Not sure yet, haven't thought that far. 😁 Def start with whatever the latest package/container | 01:33:27 |
instantchow | I guess dendrite the successor to synapse? | 01:33:50 |
⸘Amgine‽ | There are at least 5 Matrix servers, probably more. Dendrite is written in Rust, if I remember correctly, and is more suitable for lower-spec servers like raspberry pi. | 01:34:53 |
⸘Amgine‽ | Another, forgetting name, written in Go is similarly able to work with less ram and power and storage. | 01:35:34 |
instantchow | Cool, yes I'm not sure where I'll end up. First stop will probably be my friends docker server just to get things started. Perhaps from there, an off site "cloud" host. | 01:51:15 |
instantchow | Rust and go seem like the contemporary Langs for internet platforms! | 01:51:47 |
⸘Amgine‽ | Meh. All languages have strengths and weaknesses. Rust and Go are 'cool' for the moment because a bazillion projects have not been done in them yet. Which means new groups can form and do something no one else has done yet - in Rust or Go.
I tend to like, and dislike, a language based on how fast a project can be built in it, how well it compiles for the hardware I need it to run on, and how well it resists errors by devs.
everything else is sugar, imo. | 02:37:50 |
