A cool thing about #Matrix is that there are lots of excellent bridges between it and other chat protocols, including proprietary ones, which makes it simpler to provide access to Matrix users to chats which cannot currently be fully migrated there.

What's the bridging situation for other protocols, like #XMPP and #Chatmail?

in reply to Steffo

matterbridge has a matterdelta plugin which works but since #chatmail relays moved to end-to-end encrypted messaging only, relays need to whitelist bridge domains . there is a need for a more thorough plugin that avoids this.


With nearly 95% of polling stations counted, Nicușor Dan holds a strong lead—close to 10%—over George Simion. Surprisingly, Simion isn’t dominating the diaspora vote as expected, while Dan is performing much better than predicted with already 35% in.

@su_liam
Thank you for your insight.

The step-up transformer on these hits about 65kdc with a few miliamps feeding the cathode. Most tasers are double to triple that and legal to zap folks with by the police as many damn times as they feel like. The entire unit is run on 12vdc. But if you know more about its workings I'd be happy to hear.

Erneute Rettung! Freitag Nacht hat die #CivilFleet wieder gezeigt, was sie bewegen kann. Gemeinsam haben #AuroraSAR von @seawatchcrew,
#OceanViking von #SOSMediterranee #SeaPunk1 rund 200 Menschen in Sicherheit bringen können.

Die AURORA SAR entdeckte die 2 seeuntüchtigen u. überfüllten Boote in der Nähe des Miskar Gasfeldes zuerst und stabilisierte die Situation.

Als die SEA PUNK I dazu kam, nahm insges. 143 Menschen von einem überfüllten Zweideck-Boot an Bord

Nachdem die #SeaPunks vergeblich versucht hatten die Behörden zu erreichen, machte sich die #SeaPunk1 auf den Weg Richtung #Lampedusa. Während der Fahrt wurde ihr die Insel als POS von ital. Behörden zugewiesen.

Aufgrund der angespannten Lage mit so vielen Menschen an Bord musste SEA PUNK I sehr langsam fahren, um niemanden zu gefährden.

Alle 143 Menschen wurden dann noch vor Erreichen von Lampedusa von der Guardia Costiera abgeholt und an Land gebracht.
