I think everything in them is so outdated that it's easier to start
afresh if I get a good client and people to chat with that care about
keys. So far only XMPP has had any question on what my keys are.
I tried to be clever and symlink Gajim config directory to Gajim flatpak
config directory, but the directories are too different for that and
maybe it will be less issues longer term by having them separate.
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.
