Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #element, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I've been transitioning my home computers from #Manjaro to #Solus #Linux because I noticed that Solus puts out weekly updates and Manjaro moves far more slowly.

    I thought I'd give #BTRFS a try instead of #ext4 since on Manjaro, BTRFS has become the default and it worked well.

    For some reason, it really didn't play well with Solus. I couldn't log into #Element at all and I had problems running #Cyberpunk2077 with #Heroic.

    I reinstalled with ext4 and those problems went away.

    I did, for some reason, have trouble installing Heroic from the repo and had to use #Flatpak instead, but I'm getting more comfortable with those. I let the computer redownload CPB2077 overnight and tried to run it this morning. It even remembered my progress, which was a fear.

  6. 🔐 TIL: The padlock in your Matrix client is lying to you. Well... not lying. Just not telling you the whole truth.
    So you've got a padlock icon in Element. Your messages are encrypted. You're basically a spy now, right?
    Not quite, friend.
    There are two things going on in E2EE, and most people only ever learn about one of them. Today I learned the hard way — and now you don't have to.
    🔒 Encryption scrambles your messages into gibberish that only the right keys can unlock. Happens automatically. The padlock is always on. Beautiful. Revolutionary. Table stakes.
    🛡️ Verification is the part the cypherpunks actually care about.
    Encryption secures the channel. Verification confirms who's actually holding the keys at the other end. Skip it, and you're encrypting to keys that merely claim to belong to your contact. Most of the time? Fine. But a compromised homeserver could theoretically slide a fake key into the exchange and silently hoover up everything you thought was for their eyes only.
    That's not paranoia. That's the threat model.
    The fix? Emoji. I'm not even joking. Matrix generates a set of emoji from a shared cryptographic value and shows them to both users simultaneously. If you both see the same little parade of cartoon faces — the handshake is mathematically genuine. No interception possible. It takes 30 seconds and feels absolutely ridiculous right up until you realise it's the same cryptographic ceremony Signal uses for Safety Numbers and iMessage uses for Contact Key Verification.
    The best part? Do it once per contact. Matrix cross-signing cascades the verification across all your devices automatically. One emoji parade to rule them all.
    Padlock = encrypted. Shield = verified. You want both. The cypherpunks demand both. Don't settle for half a revolution. 🔒🛡️

  7. Настраиваем Matrix сервер

    Полное руководство по развёртыванию приватного Matrix-сервера с Google-аутентификацией, видеозвонками, Telegram и WhatsApp мостами Никогда не писал статьи, особенно здесь, но попытавшись найти нормальную инструкцию для разворачивания сервера Matrix с Google-аутентификацией, видеозвонками мостом Telegram и WhatsApp понял, что они либо не подходят, либо не учитывают нюансы Google-аутентификации (например не все админские сайты подходят и клиенты), часть инструкций даже на официальном сайте указаны не верно. Сразу скажу что в написании статьи сильно помогал ИИ, он помог зачистить конфиги, и расписала очерёдность настройки различных модулей. Надеюсь данная инструкция будем вам полезна. Если будут вопросы пишите, чем смогу помогу. В этом гайде мы соберём из готовых Docker-контейнеров полнофункциональный Matrix-сервер для семьи или небольшой компании..

  8. RE: fraxoweb.social/@frank/1164618

    Today, I was able to set again my #matrix instance.

    It now uses a #docker container (instead of yunohost) and #synapse (instead of tuwunel).

    I also tried the #element client for the first time.

    I like it better than fluffychat and I should have access to all its features now that I use synapse.

    From now on, I will try to prioritise matrix over #discord

    Tomorrow, I'll try setting a #flohmarkt instance.

  9. a thing i feel is missing from most messaging apps is the ability to quickly select multiple messages at once to forward or delete

    #Telegram allows dragging to select and it feels much more intuitive than:

    • having to right click a message and then click Select ( #Signal )
    • holding Shift and pressing Delete on each message individually ( #Discord )
    • just... not having selection ( #Element, #Cinny, #Gajim... )

  22. Back in the day, we had #deleteFacebook, #deleteMeta, #deleteWhatsApp, and so on.

    Some people heeded the call for a while, only to quietly return to Big Tech later on.

    Now, many have been jolted awake by our dependence on Big Tech, and another #quitday and other variations are gaining momentum.

    Personally, I started that journey years ago.

    - From Gmail to #ProtonMail and #Tuta
    - From Google to #Searx #Startpage #DuckDuckGo
    - From Chrome to #Brave #Mulvad and #LibreWolf
    - From MS Office to #LibreOffice
    - From Google Drive to #NextCloud and #Synology
    - From Facebook to #MeWe and #Mastodon
    - From Windows to #Linux
    - From WhatsApp to #Threema #Signal #Jami and #Matrix #Element
    - From Zoom to #Jitsi and #ProtonMeet
    - From Google Translate to #Deepl

    I’m sure I’m forgetting a few, but there’s a European and open-source alternative for every American Big Tech and closed-source application.

    What I’ve noticed is that many people are afraid of what they don’t know and therefore don’t dare to make the switch (completely).
    (Some people just don’t give a damn and convenience is all that matters)

    Any fear is unfounded, and if all of us switches en masse, Big Tech’s power will be quickly broken, and the development of alternatives will proceed much more smoothly and quickly.

  23. Vroeger hadden we #deleteFacebook #deleteMeta #deleteWhatsApp en noem maar op.

    Sommigen gaven daar even gehoor aan om later toch stilletjes terug te keren naar Big Tec.

    Nu werden velen even wakker geschud door onze afhankelijkheid van Amerikaanse Big Tec en komt er weer een #doeidag en andere varianten op gang.

    Persoonlijk ben ik die reis al jaren geleden begonnen.

    - Van Gmail naar #ProtonMail en #Tuta
    - Van Google naar #Searx #Startpage #DuckDuckGo
    - Van chrome naar #Brave #Mulvad en #LibreWolf
    - Van MS Office naar #LibreOffice
    - Van Google Drive naar #NextCloud en #Synology
    - Van Facebook naar #MeWe en #Mastodon
    - Van Windows naar #Linux
    - Van Whatsapp naar #Threema #Signal #Jami en #Matrix #Element
    - Van Zoom naar #Jitsi en #ProtonMeet
    - Van Google Translate naar #Deepl

    Ik vergeet er vast nog een paar, maar er is voor elke Amerikaanse en Closed Source toepassing wel een Europees en Open Source alternatief.

    Wat ik merk is dat veel mensen bang zijn voor dat wat ze niet kennen en daarom niet (geheel) durven over te stappen.
    (sommigen interesseerd het gewoon geen reet en is gemak het enige dat telt)

    Eventuele angst is ongegrond en als we met heel Europa massaal overstappen is de macht van Big Tec snel gebroken en verloopt de ontwikkeling van alternatieven veel soepeler en sneller.

  24. Element X, gli Spaces sono finalmente arrivati

    Gli Spaces arrivano su Element X: le conversazioni Matrix si organizzano in contenitori tematici navigabili, con filtri, scoperta delle stanze e gestione avanzata per gli amministratori.

  25. Livekit supports noise cancelling, if this is added to element-call it would make a ton of people moving from discord really really happy. Its one of the biggest grievances at the moment.

    From the page it does not look too hard ro implement, anyone know what is needed knowledge wise to make this happen?

    I would love to raise some awareness for this issue specially now that livekit offers support for this.

    If possible share this to taise awareness, this issue has been open since 2022 but is now gaining alot of attention

  27. Довели. Поднял корпоративный мессенджер локально

    Не шучу, правда довели. Одни уходят, другие замедляют. И у меня начала мелькать шальная мысль: а что, если взять и поднять свой корпоративный чат? Но я это делаю вообще в первый раз, поэтому сразу появилась гора вопросов: а с чего начать, как это спроектировать, сколько нужно серверов, нужен ли VPN, как не оставить дыру в безопасности и не собрать систему, которую потом я сам же запарюсь поддерживать? Я Марк Ковалев, технический специалист по ИБ. И сегодня я отвечу на все эти вопросы себе и вам, а также расскажу, как поднял корпоративный мессенджер в облаке с нуля. Сильно не ругайтесь, я знаю, что решение может быть не самым оптимальным — поэтому жду советы в комментах, чтобы его докрутить и сделать круче.

  30. No shade to the video and other alternatives. They're cool and all and I hope more people move out of Discord so it burns to the ground and never recover again, but I'm 100% confident nobody will talk to me regardless if I use any alternatives to Discord so I'm not seeing myself using one of these anytime soon. It's just pointless for me haha

  31. Before I stopped using it, I told everyone to leave my discord channel because of mental issues. That shit made me feel even more lonely than not using it cos nobody talks to me.

    I've always had this trouble with IM's. I guess I'm not very interesting. Now with that age verification crap, I'm not using that thing anymore.

  32. I really hope Discord fucking burns to the ground. Apart from 100% of people using that crap, that place's full of really messed up weirdos and child exploiters, same with Roblox

    I did have Matrix back in 2022 but nobody talked to me with that thing so I got rid of it and last time I used Discord was back in December 2025.

  35. 🚨 Gli hacker russi prendono di mira gli account Signal e WhatsApp di funzionari e militari.

    I servizi segreti olandesi ( #MIVD & #AIVD ) confermano una campagna su larga scala tramite falsi bot di supporto per rubare codici di verifica.

    Tre considerazioni:
    1️⃣ È bizzarro che politici e alti comandi usino app commerciali USA (WhatsApp/Signal su server AWS/Google) invece di un sistema chiuso e governativo. Assurdo
    2️⃣ Mi fa piacere che alternative europee sicure come Session, Delta Chat o Element/Matrix siano escluse da questo disastro.
    3️⃣ Si parla di "sovranità" ma si ignorano queste soluzioni, continuando a usare app americane hackerabili dai russi. Questa è la nostra Europa

  37. I don't know why the newer version of Element on Android is called as Element X. Perhaps it is intentional to have the session on setting call it as "Element X Android", like some sort of crossover from both Element and Android.
