I've been doing some cleanup of my various chat networks, bringing my #matrix account back to a self-hosted instance, and tuning my #xmpp server. And while I'm at taking #deltachat for a more serious run. Maybe it'll be less friction for some.
@33MHz welp I spun up a matrix server again but using a different server implementation this time called conduit. Hoping it’s lighter weight than Synapse is.
Likely a result of recent Slack shenanigans, the pressure on the matrix.org server is a good reminder of why I should just run my own #matrix instance. It also just adds to my appreciation of how much nicer it is to run and use #xmpp.
@habanero we went up to the north side of Camano Island. But when we got back to our place in Roosevelt it still seemed somewhat visible from the roof given the surrounding light pollution.
@Wife it was one of our bucket list items, which we’ve tried to travel to see without success. To have this show up last night right at home was a huge treat. 😁
I really wish emergency services would stop relying solely on xtwitter and bookface for sharing important information and incident updates. At least provide a public feed via rss or even just an accessible web site.
