Tech stack: ansible (automatization), docker (simplify deployments and maintenance), matrix (protocol) and golang (internal tools)
The idea of the service is to provide painless setup of matrix homeservers with huge customization options (not listed on website, otherwise it will be 3 desktop-screens-form in size), because if you went your matrix hs you must suffer :D and I'm trying to make it as simple as possible for newcomers to matrix world.
Try to apply AMP to it and see the difference...
For example, you have a lightweight website with size of 140kb for everything (html, CSS, js, images) without AMP. It works blazing fast and you get 100/100 scores on any website speed meter.
But it was not enough for google, because you don't use their super-duper AMP tech.
You known what? Your website doubles in size when you implement AMP, because you must load several additional scripts to make AMP work, and not only size increases, load time (from click on your website link till full render) will increase too, because additional js processing to make AMP work.
The only benefit was preloading and heavely caching by Google, so user feels like website shows instantly.
I "optimized" several lightweight websites with AMP and every time I had exactly one thought in mind - that's useless stuff adds more problems than benefits, except mobile search ranking.
Thanks God now AMP is not mandatory to be in google mobile search top
TBH, I understand why - using RSS you don't need "help" from Google to decide what you want to see and what don't want.
As for myself, after I installed Miniflux I removed accounts on reddit and other "content sources", because I simply read 99% of content through RSS and as someone already mentioned here in comments, RSS reader is the most used app on my phone now.
I hope that comment will reach him and finally I will get a response about matrix social/oidc auth...
Not exactly. The point is not to use paper bag, but to use durable/persistent bag from any material (even plastic) as long as you can.
For example, I almost never use one-time plastic bags, because I have backpack, so when I go to a grocery store, all the things placed into the backpack.
In such case (from energy perspective) it's easier to peoduce 1 backpack (32l) for several years of daily use instead of paper/plastic/etc ONE-TIME bag.
Unfortunately, that approach doesn't work with other things. For example, it's impossible to buy yogurt not in one-time plastic package and we didn't find a "mass market" solution to that problem. Same goes for any other ONE-TIME package
Any "privacy-oriented" registrar just hides that information from whois records, but you still share it to registrar, so in case of government requests or data leak your PII will be exposed.
There is no anonymity in internet, only pseudoanonymity.
Never used it, tho. I prefer reading HN comments instead of articles, because news nowadays is huge longrid with only ~10% of usable information in it. I'm not ready to pay $10 for such thing, IMO.
https://etke.cc developer is here. As the guy who setups matrix servers for customers I can tell you that a lot of information in topic link is a lie or controversial.
Example: Matrix is not extendable - seems the author didn't read any basic guide of Matrix protocol - you can and SHOULD extend it if you develop any new primitives and/or events. Even naming convention of matrix events encourages you to do that.
Now I can setup a homeserver in ~20 minutes with lots of additions and customizations.

Fun game, was smiling and crying during gameplay
2. Got a banner with some offer on 80% of my screen
3. Closed website
I like modern web /s
First one is ProxyAV [1] - reverse proxy that scans any uploaded file with ClamAV. That tool/microservice was created, because backend developers didn't have experience to work with antivirus on their side, so the "mitm proxy" way allows to integrate antivirus scanning without bothering backend devs, they always receive clean files
The second one is etke.cc [2] service. I love matrix, but self hosting of matrix homeserver requires good level of expertise, even for skilled sysadmins. I just wanted more people join matrix with their own homeservers, so etke.cc service is perfect solution to that problem - you want your own matrix homeserver - you order it on etke.cc - you get your matrix homeserver, on your domain, on your server, with full control of it.

Hi Hacker News,Preamble:Matrix [0] is a protocol for real-time communication, most known as secure federated chat with client named "element". If you want to join Matrix you may use any public server, but any features, bridges, integrations, etc. configured by server admin, so if you want to add/change or remove something, you can't do that. In most cases, it's question about bridges - like...
