That's right people, the @matrix Foundation has a new boss, and I'm excited to build things together.

Matthew & Amandine grilled @josh to know what he's about, and he has a lot to tell.

Progress on the Matrix Server List after a month away from computers.

There are still a few rough edges, but things are coming together to help people escape the gravity of the @matrix instance if they want to!

It's displaying dummy data, close to reality but not accurate

Heads-up the @matrix website Atom feed now only returns the last 15 entries.

It previously returned all the articles since 2014, weighing a whopping 13MB that caused issues with some RSS readers.

Hey everyone, it's been a long time since the last stable Conduit release, but v0.6.0 has finally been released. It's the biggest update yet, adding support for threads, spaces, edit history, backfilling and much more, along with other improvements like automatic corruption recovery, check out https://conduit.rs/changelog for more information.

It's becoming harder and harder to notice missing features, you should give Conduit a try if you haven't already!

Looking for a hands-on way to learn useful hosting skills during summer?

I'm covering containers, docker compose, and @ansible, applied to Matrix, in less than 30 minutes long episodes.

Stay tuned: next week we're going to cover monitoring with @Prometheus and @grafana
