riot/matrix server hosted on my own hardware. Its being a pain in the ass at the moment but I'll get it fixed.
Why does everyone have use matrix? It's still experimental. Why not XMPP?
XMPP is an option I've looked into, just didn't seem quite as user friendly
Dunno. I had only bad experiences with matrix. Updating the XMPP protocol into something more modern and more binary could be a good thing, but it's still too experimental to be used.
No packages in stable distributions, no AppArmor/SELinux profiles, the developers say that they don't trust the runtime security of their server-code, no support by oldfashioned multiprotocol messengers, and the JS client I've tried has led to constant 100% CPU usage while using tor. Having a simple RPC-based webchat is also possible with XMPP.
Maybe I'm too conservative for only using oldfashioned tech...
I had a friend check it and she says it full of security problems, back doors gallor and all java crap. But if somebody doesn't take the risks to try to work it and resolve it it will never develop.
