Nice, that's great to hear!

Again for Germany, it's handled by a single provider, and they absolutely do utilize CoCo tech. (Source: I work at one of the involved companies, sorry, not going to be more specific)

In the case of Germany: confidential computing tech ensures all data is encrypted in storage and in memory, shielded even against data center employees / hosting providers. I imagine that's become the standard for most countries.

IDK man. AfD are the ones raging against "political correctness" here. Dude decided to not be politically correct and label the Nazis Nazis.

When we need to know each others location, we share it via element / matrix. Our own server, so no third party.

Happens maybe four times a year.

(Also, do you just always have location services enabled?? IMO it's a battery drain, I pretty much only enable it for this and while I need to navigate)

Ah, nice. In that case just beware to move /var/lib/private/conduwuit to /var/lib/private/continuwuity, not /var/lib/conduwuit to its counterpart

Ah crap, forgot to ping you! Sorry!!

Yep, easy decision now. Migration went smoothly, just had to move the state dir and chown it to continuwuity:continuwuity. Might be different on docker though, no idea, sorry 😄

Update: seems to me tuwunel is drama waiting to happen. See updated post for details.

Yes, completely agree. It seems that the matrix foundation could easily take a different path to allow the community to flourish and third-party servers to have a much easier time. Since I'm not federated, I wouldn't even mind if whatever fork I'll end up on eventually says "fuck this, we're not following synapse specs any more".

But yeah, I am sure selling premium accounts on matrix.org is what will save the matrix ecosystem... 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hm, fair enough, I actually have very little experience with XMPP. (Only through prosody, which I personally am on a war footing with.) From a cursory glance, I also couldn't find an Android lient I'd really want to use, but of course that is subjective.

In any case: I have a matrix server up and running, and it has been a pain to get friends and family on there; I do not want to do all of that again with a new protocol/clients. As long as it's sustainable, I want to stay with the same server installation, and that means choosing a conduwuit for me.

There's nothing technically wrong with it, it's just a glacial development speed. I tried contributing there myself when I wanted a specific feature (which had been requested years prior by someone else and was deemed a good idea), it took months before I even got a single comment back.

In the meantime, I had switched to conduwuit because it was a much, MUCH more active project. However, conduwuit has diverged substantially from conduit, including irreconcilable database changes, so it is not possible to migrate back, that would require starting from a fresh slate and loosing all user data.
