Just read the news that our Belgian government now has its own secure messenger, created by 'Belgian Secure Communications'
The name is Beam, and it's based on #matrix
site:

webclient:

EDIT: code on github, it seems:

EDIT2: it's @matrix based
Congratulations to the Belgian Military with BEAM. Built on the strong foundations of #matrix you are perfectly equipped, and indeed way better than with WhatsApp or other US based spyware. https://beam.belgium.be/en/
Why are so many #matrix rooms not encrypted? I tried to join some but I don't want to chat in non-encrypted chats anymore. If I'm switching from #Discord might as well use a good privacy standard for chatting with strangers online
Never mentioned my other software release on fediverse, but after year and a half from last release why not do that too.
RcGcDw got 1.17 update! This awkwardly named software and even more awkwardly coded software is a #MediaWiki program to basically bring you a feed of MediaWiki wiki's recent changes to #Discord, or... Not?
It was only supporting Discord webhooks in the past, however thanks to Minecraft Wiki community that got a new place on #Zulip, an optional hook was developed that bridges recent changes to Zulip as well. And since I'm mainly a #Matrix user, I've also wrote a bare bones hook for that platform, I use it for Super Animal Royale wiki community.
Both hooks were made out of necessity and haven't gone through extensive testing, however they work for purposes of my communities, if there is any visible need for that functionality I can spend more time on it.
Other than that more support for MW extension log events got added, 2 more languages and a lot of internal changes to support other software I've rewritten.
Either way, RcGcDw development is very much in maintenance mode at this point. There is a wiki with some rather short documentation https://gitlab.com/chicken-riders/RcGcDw/-/wikis/home.
If you need a recent changes feed for your #wiki community in chat solution of your choice, and you can self host, it might be something of interest to you. ![]()
what is the state of bridging data between XMPP/Jabber and Matrix?
both from a server operator perspective but also a user

Пробки больше не проблема? В Китае представили «летающий автобус» Matrix!
Забудьте про заторы на дорогах. Новый пассажирский дрон Matrix готов взять на борт сразу 10 человек и поднять общественный транспорт на новую высоту.
Две версии на любой случай:
✅ Полностью электрический вариант пролетит до 250 км — идеально для города.
✅ Гибридная модель способна на перелеты до 1500 км (это как из Москвы в Сочи на одном заряде!).

Officially, I hate Matrix.
I moved one of my communities to it and it has been nothing but an absolute terror to build, admin, add integrations and manage.
I cannot imagine someone trying to move a large Discord to Matrix that has a combination of public and private spaces.
Idag besökte jag @UU_CyberRiskLab på #uppsalauniversitet och berättade om #fediverse och dess olika plattformar såsom #mastodon, #peertube, #pixelfed, #mobilizon, #flohmarkt, #xmpp, #matrix med flera. Intresserade och engagerade åhörare. Tack för att jag fick komma!

Hm I kinda want to explore hosting matrix/synapse more - should I spin up a public Synapse instance on furrypride.org? Maybe have it use S3 for media storage and keep the base install on a NVME vps? If I made it public with 3PID registration + Matrix 2.0 compatability would else be interested in signing up and using it?
Ideas ideas~

Todays "fun" with #matrix #element?
I did send a message "/spoiler here actual message".
1. On the dark theme the message is shown as big white area.
2. The " all chats" overview ignores the spoiler command and shows the beginning if the message.
