 kurohana | Then the thumbnail pathing will use the GitHub pages while the emotes still exist on the server | 16:41:13 |
 tulir | I guess that'd technically work | 16:41:22 |
| kurohana | Also since you mentioned gomuks web, is that simply an alternative front end for matrix synapse | 16:41:58 |
| tulir | probably easier than the alternative of using widget APIs to download media manually | 16:42:09 |
| kurohana | In reply to @tulir:maunium.net
if you have your own homeserver, you can flag your stickers as unauthenticated in the db and it should work media:
require_auth_for_media: false
Is that the flag you're referencing
| 16:44:18 |
| tulir | no | 16:45:35 |
| tulir | in the local_media_repository table, each item has an authenticated column which can be set to false | 16:46:00 |

Also since you mentioned gomuks web, is that simply an alternative front end for matrix synapse I think it's just a Matrix client that can interact with a Matrix server. If you call a client front-end to a server I guess that would work. | 16:47:21 |
| tulir | yeah gomuks web is a matrix client like element | 16:49:29 |
| tulir | so it's technically a frontend for synapse, but calling it that isn't entirely accurate, there's nothing specific to synapse | 16:50:00 |
| Frisk | That's why we have protocols, so it can speak to any server that speaks same protocol after all :> | 16:50:40 |
| kurohana | Thanks for correcting me. Out of curiosity, how do stickers appear on | 16:50:56 |

| kurohana | Looks nice, gives me IRC vibes | 16:51:31 |

sent an image. I suppose those are MSC2545? | 16:52:05 |
| kurohana | oh cool! thumbnails work on your end as well | 16:52:18 |
| tulir | yes | 16:52:32 |
| Frisk | yeahhh, don't think there is a client except Element adjacent that supports widget stickers | 16:52:52 |
| tulir | maunium-stickerpicker packs can be converted to the MSC2545 format easily, just cat pack.json | jq '{images: .stickers, pack: {display_name: .title, usage: ["sticker"]}}' | 16:53:00 |
| kurohana | I'll give that a shot | 16:53:28 |
| tulir | stickers are cool and all, but custom emojis are much more fun | 16:54:36 |
| kurohana | They really are | 16:54:55 |
| kurohana | how did you do that with gomuks web lol | 16:55:38 |
| Frisk | Just in case you don't know, MSC2545 is a different standard for stickers, what Element clients use is widget based sticker - they embed a webpage and by interacting with that webpage you can put stuff into Matrix room/chat. The standard we mentioned is a different approach - a room stores data about emojis and stickers and Matrix client fetches it from a room (oversimplification). This also avoids the issue with authenticated media that you have because client renders stickers already authenticated, where the widget is technically separate page asking for those stickers. | 16:56:06 |
| tulir | MSC2545 packs are stored in rooms, so you join a room with a pack (or make one), then use the emoji or sticker picker to subscribe to the pack | 16:56:14 |

Seems like a way better approach! gomuks web helps with that from the client side? | 17:09:53 |
| kurohana | Redacted or Malformed Event | 17:11:44 |
| kurohana | I couldn't get the thumbnails to work on my end. I have a feeling using static files in the Github Pages will fix it though | 17:11:46 |
