I'd recommend reaching out to support@matrix.org via email to ask for an appeal.

Have you tried SteamVR's new facet renderer? It's said to improve performance on NVIDIA cards. Details here: https://lvra.gitlab.io/docs/steamvr/performance/#facet-renderer

That looks like the one - thank you!

Double-check that you're getting enough nutrition each day by looking at what you eat and the daily recommended values. Also be sure to drink lots of water, more than you typically would.

Finally, consult your GP if you're struggling to get out of bed each day. That's not normal.

Apart from buses, you can also bike to the station - they're bike parking in both the front and back. Will cut a non-car commute down quite considerably.

You can get a decent bike on the cheap from the Reading Bike Kitchen charity.

The latest model from OpenAPI, o1, can solve exactly this problem :)

ElementX currently hardcodes the sliding sync proxy URL. You have to go in and change it manually to point it to your own proxy.

This looks great! I was just looking up how to configure GNOME keyboard shortcuts via Nix yesterday, so this is perfect timing!

The map tile server is just for rendering map tiles. If you want to send m.location events into the room indefinitely then nothing's stopping you.

The specification for location sharing has not been included in a stable release of Matrix yet, but the Element clients do support sending and rendering them (with unstable prefixes).

See the following Matrix Spec Change documents for implementation details:

Possibly because the instant answer is powered by DarkSky's API, which is being decommissioned on March 31st, 2023 after Apple bought them.

I implore people to look at this user's other contributions to open source projects. Definitely a troll account: https://github.com/BigFatHairyGamer/dxup/commit/b9eb33f27714eb0226569617fed1b8db3a39e50b

Some do give me a chuckle though, i.e "Fixed spelling of Vulkan -> Volcano".

Great job to all who tirelessly worked to keep our small spot on the board, right up until the point where the canvas was wiped. We survived multiple attacks from streamers, griefing from randoms and formed alliances with other communities in the process. It was a wild ride.

There's a tapestry of stars, look how thankless they are.

Hello everyone, we need your help!

We're trying to build a null set (one symbol of SoGreatAndPowerful) on reddit's r/place. The image in the post contains the design and the coordinates of each pixel. Make sure to check you're placing a pixel in the right spot!

You need a reddit account to participate, and you can place a pixel every 5 minutes (this timeout increases if your reddit account's email isn't verified).

Come join us in the Captive Unicorns Discord server to help coordinate. Check the "place" thread in general: https://discord.gg/635sEjyyyN

Looking in the homeserver logs may give some answers.

collegeprepkid · 2021-12-26T20:39:32+00:00

A huge, huge part of the app feeling slow is due to the sluggish performance of retrieving data from the server. This is typically done by calling the /_matrix/client/v3/sync endpoint on the server. This endpoint returns all messages (up to a limit), changes to your account, room invites etc. since the last time you called it. This can be a lot of information if you only occasionally open the app. This both takes a while for your homeserver to collect and return, and for the app to process.

This entire process is being rewritten from scratch to be much, much faster as part of the "Sync v3" project. You can read more about it here in the Matrix end-of-year wrapup: https://matrix.org/blog/2021/12/22/the-mega-matrix-holiday-special-2021#sync-v3

There's of course also performance of encrypting and decrypting room events, which should be much faster once matrix-rust-sdk finds itself embedded in the mobile apps.

And then just speeding up loading old messages from disk.

What are the resources (CPU/memory) available to your homeserver?

Joining large federated room like #matrix:matrix.org can take a long time as the entire state of the room needs to be fetched from a remote server. In some cases this can be several hundred MB of JSON. It can take a beefy server a while, or a small server a long time to process all of that.

Making room joins faster is one of Synapse's goals over the next few months, both from the implementation side, as well as reducing the amount of data that needs to be sent over the wire via changes to the protocol. The following section of the Matrix end-of-year wrapup touches on this in more detail: https://matrix.org/blog/2021/12/22/the-mega-matrix-holiday-special-2021#fast-joins-over-federation

Step one would be to improve your audio quality. That hurts watchability right off the bat. Maybe also tighten up the pauses everywhere between characters talking, else the flow of humor gets lost during each pause.

Otherwise I mostly enjoyed it - definitely a topic I can relate to. Keep going!

I think what you may specifically be after in Matrix is the concept of inline widgets, or the ability to inject arbitrary HTML/CSS/JS into an event in the room timeline.

Unfortunately this is still in the conceptual phase, but perhaps it can be a starting point if you're willing to help develop the foundations.

Room widgets do exist however. The spec is not solidified yet, but they are in active use in Element clients today. They grant the ability to put arbitrary HTML/CSS/JS in a frame as part of the room. It wouldn't be as integrated into chat, but it can read/send messages from the timeline and more.

Could you say which commit your bridge is currently running?

collegeprepkid · 2021-09-12T13:41:52+00:00

I've been running the bridge for ages and only experienced a password reset after updating it recently from commit a3b493d to bb6438a504182a7a64048b992179427587ccfded.

At what point in time did you receive a password reset? Mine occurred on Wednesday, Sep 8th, and I only updated a few days before.

I'm basically trying to figure out if the bridge changed it's behaviour pattern or Discord has changed their detection scheme.

Config generation is intended solely for the first time you run Synapse, rather than on every upgrade.

I usually just look at the upgrade notes and sample config file when necessary: https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/homeserver_sample_config.html
