interesting timing when I was getting into matrix. but honestly i’m not seeing it bcome available in even providers like https://etke.cc anytime soon.
I really need to look more into Matrix. Getting me more hooked by the day as a good Discord replacement. ![]()
I meanwhile wonder how relevant are the bridges for Signal, Discord etc because you kinda lose the whole benefit of E2EE (and maybe even privacy? Idk yet
) and it becomes some sort of Beeper.
Never heard of this website, quite cool especially for people who cannot self-host! ![]()
What won’t be available there? Not sure to understand.
Hosting the web app for Element X will take a sweet time for sure
That’s why you’re not seeing the option atm
Also can confirm it’s really good, I’ve even contacted the support for demo concerns and a question for the bridges, they answered promptly and fast
(It’s also part of why I’m thinking of making a guide for bridging to other messengers but I think it won’t be favored by the community and besides that I have not deployed this in the real word yet)
Isn’t it a k8s/Docker container in the same way at the end of the day? (I haven’t looked into it yet so ignore if irrelevant comment
)
Nobody self-host those things bare metal by hand nowadays. ![]()
No I really mean the option to self host or appear not how long it takes
Etke is literally just, you pay 2 people a monthly fee based on what you choose to host and they handle it for you, unless you choose to take control of the server
I think that Nikita and Slavi can definitely narrow that one down quite quickly if there are already close to the Matrix community. ![]()
And yes, it’s nice to have people providing such a service of maintenance for others. Good business model with a fair amount of work for the provider and good service for the consumer. ![]()
