On mobile Riot either drains my battery or won't receive any
notifications regardless of being configured to use Google Play Services
that are available on my OxygenOS (OnePlus 3 stock OS) and being
installed from Google Play Store.
On desktop the Riot app from flatpak seems to stop working by itself,
die in background and just do nothing until I am asked to force stop it.
On server side, I have understood at least three servers including two
where I have an account being closed or seriously considering it and I
see much of complaints on how difficult Synapse is to run and how much
resources it needs.
Thus I am not very optimistic on the future of Matrix, but I am not
leaving the fingerprints in hope that I am wrong and it will become
usable for me without investing into self-hosting.
Only the www. subdomain is using CloudFlare and it should redirect to
wwwless version which is GitHub pages directly with LetsEncrypt
certificate. I still want to leave the link in some form in case someone
wants to start checking GPG signatures in commits or something like
that.
I am forced to use Dino, because I havev collected too many channels
with IRC gateways and it goes over what I consider as comfortable UI
with Gajim.
The flatpak is also more up-to-date than snap, I think, and will be
official first. I will have to keep using Gajim until Dino gets support
for OMEMO in private MUCs though.
I don't know when I will support Matrix again, but if something is so
sensitive that you absolutely need to verify my keys, use either
XMPP/OMEMO or Signal.
It became horrible mess including four primary accounts plus two not so
important accounts + two Google accounts, so I am going to pretend XMPP
doesn't exist and manage keys with everyone invidually as needed as
currently I have only one actively XMPP using contact.
The rest moved to Matrix.
This time I didn't log out or anything, previous time I changed key I
hadn't noticed that the fingerprint included slash and continued for
longer than I had pasted.
I wished to fix disappearing notifications by using the F-Droid version,
but it worked even more badly disappearing when screen turned off
(possibly related to Greenify's aggressive doze even if it was
whitelisted) and then I returned to Play Store version and thought I
have to boot laptop for fixing this.
Backup plan: add Pushover email address to Riot.
Phone#2 is having factory reset or more accurately many SailfishOS
updates since the recovery image which could be even older if it wasn't
in repair once.
I am at Kotka for Christmas and possibly new year while Terasar is at
home so I cannot check what it says thanks to Matrix only showing
fingerprint on that device.
