Hey julianst! I just responded to your post
bridge[evilred] has joined #nixos-exotic
<pie_>
is this channel intending to go anywhere?
<sterni>
I guess we'll have to wait for the matrix situation to settle down
<sterni>
seems like only #nixos, #nixos-dev and #nixos-chat have equivalents on matrix so far
<sterni>
but I guess this will also get an equivalent there sooner or later
<sorear>
what i'm hearing is that there will be irc bridging to libera "at some point" so hopefully we'll see an approximation of the status quo ante
<sorear>
the matrix thing is confusing and has seemed pretty unreliable (more than once a year i've had trouble reaching someone because matrix and/or the bridges have been silently eating messages)
<pie_>
libera seems to be the easiest thing to switch to off the bat, its just another irc server
<pie_>
but ok ill just check back later
<sterni>
sorear: I wouldn't bet on it, I guess we'll have it if it'll be possible
<sterni>
it may be wishful thinking that it happens
<sterni>
it may happen inevitably
<sterni>
I'm not sure
<sterni>
pie_: yeah seems like another irc server is not what most ppl want
<sterni>
I guess the rest of us are somewhat willing to put up with it
<sterni>
tbf a lot of people already were using matrix
<pie_>
i put up with matrix...
<pie_>
xp
<Ericson2314>
I was already using matrix
<Ericson2314>
pretty happy with it
<Ericson2314>
one can make more channels on the nixos.org homeserver I assume
<Ericson2314>
I soon as do that
<pie_>
my irc client is a lot more readable somehow
<sterni>
Ericson2314: lmk how it goes kinda need to tick that off the list for haskell stuff as well
<sterni>
Ericson2314: do you use element? I'm not too happy with it so far
<Ericson2314>
sterni: Yes I do
<Ericson2314>
the electron app was a bit better than in browser which surprised me pleasantly
<Ericson2314>
though it could be chromium vs firefox
<sterni>
okay gotta try that
<sterni>
firefox doesn't seem to deal too well with having open an element tab at all times
<sterni>
I think I'll dual use and keep my irc stuff for now, but I'm looking to get rid of discord
<sterni>
which should be as easy as migrating one channel
<Ericson2314>
which is coincidentally by someone I know from my long ago command and conquer days
<Ericson2314>
sterni: The new "spaces" matrixes should allow a more faithful discord bridging too
<sterni>
not sure if we really need bridges, but I guess we'll
<sterni>
see
<Ericson2314>
well i do hope for matrix global domination :)
<sterni>
I think my user experience has negatively affected by the fact that the home server I happen to have an account for doesn't support spaces yet
<Ericson2314>
and eventually writing my own client and server in haskell
<Ericson2314>
i never used spaces until yesterday so things aren't really sorted yet
<Ericson2314>
but yeah i had a lot of channels and it was a big confusing
<sterni>
seems like it's the only way to properly list the channels on the nixos.org thing if I understand it correctly
<sterni>
which seems … not ideal
<Ericson2314>
sterni: there should be a way to list nixos.org homeserver channels as distinct from nix space rooms
