I finally figured out mention and keyword notifications from encrypted rooms in Element X on iOS. I have no idea why it works out of the box in desktop Element, but for Element X on iOS, you need to enable an experimental feature. Yet I’m happy. With added spaces and room invites support, Element X becomes more and more usable.

To enable, you should add this to your ’homeserver.yaml’:

experimental_features:
msc4028_push_encrypted_events: true

#synapse #Matrix #MatrixSynapse #SelfHosted #SelfHosting #SelfHost #HomeLab

TIL that the president of Signal believes that people who run Mastodon and/or Matrix servers do so "in most cases" on hyperscaler* infrastructure.

This is my Mastodon server. And its UPS. And its networked KVM for when things get really hairy.

It's also my Matrix server. And Nextcloud. And Git. And Home-Assistant. And Jellyfin. And SearXNG. And Peertube.

When people objected to her claims, she doubled down and proclaimed condescendingly that we "don't have a clear understanding of this space".

TIL that I don't feel confident in recommending people to use Signal. Something's very off here.

*) "hyperscaler" basically means the big cloud infra providers with provisioning APIs that allow you to scale your resources up/down automatically with usage

Le développement d'une passerelle de sécurité entre organisations distinctes, appelée « #BorderGateway », est un autre chantier en cours à la #DINUM. L'outil doit renforcer la sécurité des communications #Matrix quand plusieurs administrations ou entreprises doivent échanger des informations. Ces développements seront d'ailleurs présentés au #FOSDEM en février 2026 et à l'Open Source Experience en décembre prochain.

Les équipes françaises développent de nouvelles fonctionnalités pour Matrix

Le soutien français envers #Matrix ne se limite pas à un simple chèque. Les équipes techniques de la #DINUM disent contribuer de façon active au développement du protocole. Elles travaillent par exemple sur l'amélioration de « #SlidingSync », un algorithme qui optimise les performances et l'expérience utilisateur. Plus fluide, plus rapide, c'est exactement ce qu'on attend d'une messagerie moderne.

La @dinum soutient (financièrement et techniquement) la fondation @matrix. #Matrix est un protocole de messagerie instantanée libre et décentralisé, utilisé par #Tchap, la messagerie de l'administration française.

icymi, in the Matrix State of the Union they said they didn't plan on pursuing decentralized social media, but they do hope to make it easier for those ecosystems to use Matrix so they don't have to reinvent what Matrix has already done

Would people like to have a #matrix evening / "Stammtisch" in #Karlsruhe ?

@Mer__edith

looking at your replies to replies here that seem to make sense to me (especially re decentralization), you're telling them they don't know what they are talking about. well I definitely don't.

like with debates re #ATproto and #ActivityPub, I have thoughts but I know that we really need to see the experts debate each other somehow. I don't think it happens enough. so I'd say the same re #signal and #matrix etc.

Matrix and many other web apps now tunneled over cloudflare. Just another home labing sunday. This is a great guide for the matrix federation using workers and routes:
