Thanks for sharing this, hadn’t really looked into it in this much detail before.
Matrix bridges do sound pretty powerful in theory, but yeah, the encryption part you mentioned does make me pause a bit. Feels like a trade-off I’d need to really think through. Also, I’m not a coder so setting something like Spantaleev’s setup might be a bit much for me to handle regularly.
Have you tried this yourself? Was it difficult to get up and running?
@InsightSeeker@thelemmy.club Spantaleev's setup is probably the easiest way to get matrix setup honestly. Otherwise bridges etc tend to be a pain. You don't necessarily need to be a coder -- just follow documentation instructions step by step, and ask in their matrix channel if you get stuck.
You could also set it up on a device that's already encrypted on boot (via luks), so you'd have some protections if turned off.
I've been running it close to 5-7 years (don't remember lol).
That actually makes it sound a lot more approachable. I’m not too deep into coding, but if it’s mostly about following the docs step by step, I can give it a shot.
Will definitely try this out and see how it goes.
