OP is actually a bot. so many posts within an hour regularly, and compared to that, very few comments. whoever controls the account is not here to have a discussion

google play integrity works at a different level. it checks if you are running a google-approved, "sealed" operating system

which is not true, as fairphones also support relocking. Besides, graphene has dozens of other very useful features that don't rely on hardware security features or the ability to relock. and I guarantee you, if another android rom adopted their unique features, they would be loudly complaining that they are stealing code (from an open source project...)

and the tradeoff includes dozens more permissions related features that don't rely on hardware security features

not true, fairphones support that too. calyxos makes use of it, it's proven to be working

has much, much fewer settings for permissions and privacy leaking functions. how do you even disable network access for an app?

oh! I don't know how nix containers work, but I would be looking into creating a shared network between the containers, that is not the normal network.

you have completely lost your mind.

wtf is wrong with you. they claim its in the published epstein files package. the least they should do is link to it and show quotes

oh, I see what you mean!

they do that for the sake of providing an example that works instantly. but on the long term it's not a good idea. if you intend to keep using a service, you are better off connecting it to a postgres db that's shared across all services. once you get used to it, you'll do that even for those services that you are just quicly trying out.

how I do this is I have a separate docker compose that runs a postgres and a mariadb. and these are attached to such a docker network, which is created once with a command, rather than in a compose file. every compose file where the databases are needed, this network is specified as an "external" network. this way containers across separate compose files can communicate.
my advice is its best to also have this network as "internal" too, which is a weird name but gist is, this network in itself won't provide access to your LAN or the internet, while other networks may still do that if you want.

basically setup is a simple command like "docker network create something something", and then like 3 lines in each compose file. you would also need to transfer the data from the separate postgreses to a central one, but thats a one time process.

let me know if you are interested, and I'll help with commands and what you need. I don't mind it either if you only get around to this months later, it's fine! just reply or send a message

just to be clear, are you saying that most beginners just copy paste the example docker compose from the project documentation, and leave it that way?

I guess that's understandable. we should have more starter resources that explain things like this. how would they know, not everyone goes in with curiosity to look up how certain components are supposed to be ran

unfortunately I realized too late that I have had hundreds of saved links to posts and comments from there, so I did not have enough time to save them, but anyways it is interesting that maybe a third of the post links I could try were dead. I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.

 

In today's episode of Kill The Messenger, Matrix co-founder Matthew Hodgson reveals how full of bullshit is the writer of the original article.

The messages were published in the Office of the Matrix.org Foundation room: https://matrix.to/#%2F%21sWpnrYUMmaBrlqfRdn%3Amatrix.org%2F%24XpQe-vmtB7j0Uy1TPCvMVCSCW63Xxw_jwy3fflw7EMQ%3Fvia=matrix.org&via=element.io

https://paper.wf/alexia/matrix-is-cooked is fascinatingly incorrect

Until the 6th of November 2023 when they—in their words—moved to a different repository and to the AGPL license. In reality, the Foundation did not know this was coming, and a huge support net was pulled away under their feet.

fwiw, the Foundation had a front-row seat in the fact that Element (as incorporated by the folks who created Matrix) had donated $$M to the Foundation over the years, but wasn't going to survive if it kept giving all its work away as apache-licensed code - which in turn would have been catastrophic for the Foundation.

Yes, the high expenses for the Matrix.org homeserver are largely because they are still managed by Element, just not as donated work but instead like with any other customer.

nope, Element passes the hardware costs (and a fraction of the people costs) of running the matrix.org server to the Foundation without any overheads or markup at all.

Either way it shows that Element is seemingly cashing in on selling ,Matrix to governments and B2B as a SaaS solution without it going back to the foundation

Element has literally put tens of millions into the foundation, and is continuing to do so - while some of the costs get passed to the Foundation, Element donates a bunch too (e.g. by funding a large chunk of the Matrix conference as the anchor sponsor, and by donating time all over the place to help support trust & safety etc)

At the same time I can't help but think that this could have been prevented. Even Matthew himself recognizes that putting the future on Matrix on the line with VC funding and alike was not the best idea for the health of Matrix.

No, even Matthew knows that Matrix would never have been funded without routing the VC funding from Element into... building Matrix. We tried to fund it originally purely as a non-profit, but failed (just as it's a nightmare to raise non-profit for the Foundation today even now that Matrix exists and is successful!). If you need to raise serious $ for an ambitious project, you either need to get lucky with a billionaire (as Signal did with Brian Acton) or you have to raise on the for-profit side. Perhaps it would have have been best for Matrix to grow organically, but I suspect that if it did, it would have failed miserably - instead, it succeeded because we already had a team of ~12 people who could crack on and jump-start it if they could work on it as their dayjob; the team who subsequently founded Element.

Ultimately, for-profit companies will do what makes them profit, not what's the best option. Unless the best option happens to coincide with making the most profit.

No, Element is not profitable. Nor is it trying to maximise profit. Right now it's trying to survive and get sustainable and profit-neutral (i.e. break-even) - while doing everything it can to help keep Matrix healthy and successful too (given if Matrix fails, Element fails too).

Unfortunately, supporting the foundation through anything more than “in spirit” and a platinum membership is out of their budget, apparently. I think that morally they owe a lot more than that.

wow.

the FUD level is absolutely astonishing, and I really wonder what the genesis of this is

so, absolutely, spectacularly, depressing

this, my friends, is why we can't have nice things.

In response to an other person suggesting that the publisher is also known as a reasonable person on the platform:

Interesting, the matrix handle that seems behind this blog seems always to have been quite a reasonable person

somewhat why i’m wondering what the backstory is, and whether this is an unfortunate example of spicy lies outpacing the boring truth

 

If your post would end up like that in a day, please just refrain from posting it, in any community, or use a throwaway. It is very destructive, especially since all and every comment also becomes unreachable with it.

Sincerely,
With all due respect,
Your Lemmy neighbor


I'm fed up with this shit, and I know it well that it's not just me.

Do not bomb your communities, please.

I promise, I'll end up setting up a public instance that does not obey any deletions because of these madlads. Seriously, where is pushshift for lemmy?
