| JayF | fungi: renewing my question around joining VMT | 15:20 |
|---|---|---|
| fungi | JayF: cool, feeling better now? | 16:56 |
| fungi | rosmaita: you had also expressed some interest recently, is that still the case | 16:56 |
| JayF | I'm at baseline :P | 16:56 |
| rosmaita | fungi: yes, it is | 17:09 |
| fungi | in that case, it would probably make sense to onboard the both of you at the same time | 17:11 |
| fungi | i can compress the onboarding experience if you're both okay with that. i'll be travelling and away from the computer may 2-13, just fyi | 17:11 |
| fungi | JayF: rosmaita: if you're on matrix already, feel free to let me know your ids either in here or via privmsg and i'll send you invites to the encrypted vmt discussion channel | 18:47 |
| rosmaita | fungi: i think you will need to onboard me onto matrix | 18:50 |
| JayF | I do not typically have a presence in matrix, and am skeptical I'd do a good job of monitoring Yet Another Chat Service for alerts given I'm literally already on a half dozen for work | 19:26 |
| fungi | got it. we had been using a private irc channel, but enough of the "new" (at the time) vmt volunteers were connecting through the matrix bridge to oftc that keeping them authenticated to the private irc channel we had became challenging | 19:43 |
| fungi | we could entertain moving back to irc | 19:43 |
| JayF | I'd prefer that. I'm happy to use whatever service most folks need to use, I'm just already basically near-capacity for chat services that I can effectively be a part of lol | 19:46 |
| fungi | sure, i'm there with you. i'm currently straddling irc and matrix in an attempt to appease collaborators who prefer one or the other and are inconvenienced by using both at the same time | 19:47 |
| fungi | which has led to me acting as a meat bridge between them in some cases | 19:48 |
| JayF | I've been asking irccloud to add matrix support but they are pretty invested in IRCv3 and so I think have no interest in adding matrix | 19:48 |
| fungi | at the moment, we still have our private irc channel which only has me and prometheanfire in it, though i think tonyb was able to join it fairly consistently as well. ade_lee and d34dh0r53 were the additions who struggled with staying in the irc channel due to how the matrix bridge's reconnects race nickserv identification | 19:51 |
| fungi | i don't mind maintaining both channels and trying to copy information between them | 19:52 |
| fungi | to be fair, the challenge there is a bit of an impedance mismatch between how oftc implements private/access-restricted channels and how the oftc matrix bridge authenticates users | 19:52 |
| JayF | I am also able/willing to have a matrix account and go over that way when pings | 19:55 |
| JayF | just not really willing/able to monitor another chat service proactively :) | 19:55 |
| fungi | no, i get that. very much so | 20:05 |
