Yes, your server needs to be full domain name. Otherwise, when typing a username (like @myusername:myserver.com) other servers would need to know where that myserver.com is.

Conduit needs to know it’s domain Because it is part of usernames.

Only for yourself or so you share?

If share, please say how well it use the disk.

No problem.

Overall, purely technically, no. This has to be the hostname of the computer the Conduit is running on. And it can be in the local network (LAN) with your own name.

But practically, yes. Because you must buy a domain name and point that domain to the server localtion (IP address). And the only global domain names available to register have TLDs :).

So, yes.

Now imagine we only had Windows and no one would create such thing because Windows and it’s programs does not have support.

one of the world’s first RISC-V laptops

RISC-V

You can call it GNU/Linux if the same name for OS and kernel turns out to be confusing for you.

At least it’s not the other way around.

They should look at GNU Taler for having it in the future.

UBlue developer likes and use Homebrew so he thinks it is essential tool so his distro preinstall it to be better and more “user friendly”.

Yes. And yes.

It’s normal for things to implement stuff from each other? 🤷

Microsoft is late with many things too. And I don’t nessesarly think a feature here and there is what makes a good OS, the base stuff is more important.

It’s like making a .txt document with tables and ASCII art and then on my God other text editors use different fonts and the look breaks. Only the most popular, Windows Notepad is supported.

Web was supposed to be bulletproof, easy to archive and implement. If a webpage break because a browser is supporting 99% of super bloated web standards instead of 99.5% of Chrome, there is clearly something wrong.

My rule of thumb is, try to randomly remove some HTML tags and CSS declarations. If whole site break and is unusable because of one/two lines missing, this website is a hack exploiting browser monoculture.

Bot: Just a user account, with normal login and password, that we call bot because it is used by some automatic program. Nothing particilar in the Matrix protocol itself.

Appservice: Some application (on the Internet or local) that the server is configured to listen to and give special priviledges. See it like a plugin, can reserve a namespace for usernames (like only this appservice being able to register names starting with @telegram_).

Bridge: Just some system, program or anything really that we call bridge because it connects two chat networks. It can utilize appservices and/or bots to work, but again it’s a common name not special thing in Matrix.

Integrations: A really forgotten thing in the recent Matrix development, but still somewhere there. If you ever used old Element there is a chance you opened integrations menu. It’s a graphical interface in the end-user app side to graphically invite or manage bots or other things. They also have widgets to pin website on the chat for users to easly interact, like a calendar, it is mostly use to integrate Jitsi calls as Matrix-native calls are still developing.

So integrations and appservices are in the protocol. Bots and bridges are just names.

One bridge can use multiple things. Can use a normal client-server API to act like a bot (again, just some account) to listen to and write messages. Can use appservice API to bypass rate limits, reserve username space and have permissions to spoof it’s avatar and name. Can use integration to give a menu for management, but I haven’t seem it used.

Just Google’s proprietary app connecting to Google’s proprietary servers that just happened to be preinstalled. There is nothing RCS being build to Android itself.

Now we need to wait for Android to get support too 🙃.

Taler is not ment to be completely censorship resistant. It takes the side of dealing with goverment, law and other things and is expected to be used in areas with working democracy.

A private alternative to MasterCard, PayPal, Stripe, etc. not a new currency or completely different banking system. And we need it.

Linux what?

Ah, Linux.

Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux.

Yayy, another chat app! 🙄

Okey, so relays can pass message to other relay? Didn’t know that, so thanks.

But then, why not use network like Yggdrasil? Which would be basically like Nostr, but can relay any TCP/IP packet for any app, instead of just Nostr notes.

Why do we even need relays in the first place? Like, if only someone could create a network that could enable computers to send messages to each other on the layer below apps so apps would just be to display and format those messages, not pass them (ツ).
