Mainly #German #podcast:
Each Friday an interview recording of the #MatrixCommunitySummit #Berlin 2022 will be released. The event took place in August. We interviewed a total of 8 #Matrix community members.

This week, you can hear from Alex and Valentin. We talked about the summit, what went well and what activities to add next time.

If you don't speak German, stay tuned for English episodes in some of the following weeks.

And on that thought, it should be noted that you _really_ don't need more than a Pi to get yourself a working Synapse server, to join in on the @matrix part of the IM fediverse as well.
Though a second Pi to hold your database - and on a proper drive instead of microSD - is probably recommended, especially if you want to chat in the bigger rooms.

So you want to bridge your Discord or Slack community to @matrix to make a very gentle move, without a hard split? I got you covered!

📺 Join me & @bnjbvr_en this afternoon @ 4PM CET for some cozy @matrix #WebAssembly hacking live on stream!

We are going to be looking at Trinity, Benjamin's supercool side project that lets you write #matrix bots in #rust & WebAssembly. Come for the coolness, stay for the endless hilarity that ensues as I attempt writing Rust code and hope live to tell the story

Today I'm refactoring our rich text editor component for #Matrix. I have in mind a 3-layer structure:

* high level operations like "bold"
* medium level that preserves all the invariants (e.g. no adjacent text nodes)
* low level that does simple things like add/delete a node and does not preserve invariants

It's all happening over here: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rich-text-editor

I got inspired by setting up my own Mastodon instance and getting into this whole decentralised federated model to try out Matrix (https://matrix.org, @matrix). So, after some fiddling I managed to have a Matrix server running using Synapse. You can now IM me through @clemens:matrix.multiverset.net or come in and say hi in the public lobby of my server: #lobby:matrix.multiverset.net 😎

If you enjoy #mastodon you should know you can do the same with your chats. You don't need Google or Facebook.
Check @matrix for the details on federated chat!

Hey #nix and #nixos people!

I wrote a matrix bot for nixpkgs pull request notifications.

It‘s like the cool https//nixpk.gs/tracker.html by @qyliss, which shows you which release channels a pull request has reached.

With the bot you can subscribe and get notifications, whenever it reaches a channel instead of hammering F5 in your browser tab.

Just open a query to https://matrix.to/#/@nixpkgs-bot:maralorn.de and send "help".

Looking forward to you all stress testing it!
