  Respectfully this is a dumb fucking name

  • ddssazsa@piefed.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It’s a spiritual successor to conduwuit, the name checks out imo.

    Feel free to use Synapse, og conduit or whatever floats your boat.

    Myeah but it’s just a server - the clients just use Matrix.

  Why do useful FOSS things always have the worst names that make it hard to spread.

  source

  • Ephera@lemmy.ml ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Lots of folks also like the unmarketable names, because you know that it’s not a corporate project. You’re hearing about it, because it’s actually good, and not just because some startup got VC money to do marketing.

    Heck, the reverse is true as well. This project is better specifically because it has that name. You just know some transfemmes are tirelessly hacking away at it, because they enjoy the silly name.

    When they have good names they get stolen.

    Try took up about gemini protocol.

  • Flipper@feddit.org ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Well, it startend with conduit. That was a respectable name. The development slowed down and someone wasnt happy abput not getting pr merged. Then it got forked to conduwuit.

    Speed picked back up. There was later a massive meltdown for some reason. To successors emerged continuwuity and tuwunel.

    • Beacon@fedia.io ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      There's almost always a backstory for why the makers choose the name they did, but that doesn't change the harmful result. A bad name seriously limits how much the software will ever get adopted. Heck, if there was a FOSS project i cared about enough then i would fork it and keep everything the same except give it a more palatable name.

  Well thanks for at least explaining what it is, but isn’t Matrix already self hostable? Anyway what’s wrong with IRC?

  source

  • kilgore_trout@feddit.it ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Matrix is a protocol, not a software. Continuwuity is one of the few servers for this protocol.

  • sj_zero ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago federation: received

    It's based on conduit, which itself is really a lot better for self-hosting than synapse or dendrite.

    I ran conduit on an atom d2550 alongside other services and it basically idled. Running synapse or dendrite on the same machine made the whole machine max out permanently.

    Irc is fine, but not federated...

  Love and use this!

  Solid, fast, amazing experience… A breeze to setup as well… Quite another thing than Synapse.

  Is there any reason to use Continuwuity over Tuwunnel?

  source

  • warmaster@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    At first I uwunderstood your comment as a joke, but apparently Tuwunel does in fact exist and it’s a continuation of Conduwuit.

    source

    • maya@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yeah, I currently use Tuwunnel for my own matrix homeserver. It’s been really reliable so far.

  I’m trying so hard not to hate this post but you have given me so many reasons to

  • use of UwU in something I absolutely need to share with others

  • mismatched fonts

  • comic something font

  • no human readable data next to the QR code

  • mismatched gradient radii in the corners

  Make it stop 😭

  source

  • SqueakyBeaver@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The project is the “official community continuation of the conduwuit homeserver”. Conduwuit was a popular matrix backend until the project was archived.

    Although interestingly, conduwuit says the official continuation is Tuwunel. interesting

    • blackbrook@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Maybe this one should be named altuwunative.

      source
    • maya@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I’ve been using Tuwunnel since Conduwuit ceased developpment and I haven’t been able to find a reason to switch to Continuwuity yet.

    I like it. It’s nostalgic, in a 90s sort of way 😂

    use of UwU in something I absolutely need to share with others

    It’s purely a backend, what’s under the hood is not really visible to matrix clients.

    Edit: Though I wish this graphic communicated that more, just realized it doesn’t even say anything about [matrix].

  • JadedBlueEyes@programming.dev ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Everything there (aside from perhaps not printing the full URL under the QR code) is deliberate and a part of the ‘brand’. Roboto + Sour Gummy for the fonts, asymmetry, whimsy. If you don’t like it, I’m sure you can use Element’s Synapse and you’ll be able to talk to people using Continuwuity just fine. That’s kind of the point.

    source

    • JadedBlueEyes@programming.dev ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Also fonts.google.com/specimen/Sour+Gummy?preview.scri… is way better than comic sans, you can’t convince me otherwise

    UwU. The cuteness is a huge plus IMO.

    source

    • notabot@piefed.social ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      The problem is “cuteness” is very much in the eye of the beholder for things like this, and I’m with neatchee here, it’s not cute, and it makes it basically unshareable, and hence unusable in a lot of contexts. I appreciate the effort that’s gone into the project, but the name and publicity massively detract from that.

  Respectfully, this software could solve all my problems in life, and I would still struggle to ask my friends to “federate with my continuwuity server so we can chat”

  source

  • MangoPenguin@piefed.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Its just called a matrix server, you don’t need to tell anyone the specific kind.

    source
  • iamthetot@piefed.ca ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Then call it Matrix. They don’t need to know and probably don’t care about the specific server software you’re using.

    source
• litchralee@sh.itjust.works ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  This is the homeserver written in Rust, right?

  A suggestion: wherever a QR code is included, the human-readable content should be included next to it. Not everyone has a QR code reader handy, or their reader has the bad habit of immediately opening links or apps. In this case, I see that it just goes to continuwuity.org and is benign, but others may be apprehensive at naked QR codes.

  (there’s obviously an exception for QR codes that are intended to convey machine info, like TOTP codes)

  source

  • ace@lemmy.ananace.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

    I made an NFC/QR code card for my wifi details at home, and that also includes the details written in clear text on the card, since some devices simply don’t do QR (or NFC in my case).

    source
  • JadedBlueEyes@programming.dev ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It is!

    Yeah, I see your point, and I included the link in the alt text. On the actual design itself though, any URL I wrote in could be completely different from the QR so it seems slightly pointless - especially as it would just be writing Continuwuity a third time haha

    source

    • notabot@piefed.social ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Including the URL isn’t to act as a check on the contents of the QR code, but to act as an alternative for those who don’t want to scan it at all.

    I was very excited when I started seeing QR codes gaining popularity. That excitement was quickly shattered when everyone just started using them improperly and they just made everything more annoying 😮‍💨

    Agreed that QR codes should be accompanied by text links for accessibility, because many times the scanning fails due to bad light, old camera or shaky hands.
