I thought they did a complete rewrite of the voice/video stuff?

That’s the opposite of how I would understand it though. If you said a passive RCE I would understand that as it being run without me doing anything - in this case, just having notepad open making me vulnerable.


Seems to be under active development?


Probably worth adding a disclaimer with matrix, that if you self host, DON’T federate. Apparently their abuse management is awful and you get all kinds of shit sent to you which is hard to remove.


Can that be disabled?


It’s fine, they will be at the back together, so it won’t matter.


That doesn’t stop them from calling the product “oat milk” though does it?
It’s ZA! Good luck convincing the south Africans though 🤣
I once worked in a company doing business in both SA and ZA, lots of confusion.




Wikipedia link for those interested.
Thanks for that, it makes sense when I think about it. It’s been a while since physics class!
I can sometimes get them to trigger by going over the return line to the pavement. Still a big problem for carbon bikes though!


Exactly. I would suggest that the hire bike riders tend not to wear helmets, and are therefore at more risk of serious head injuries, regardless of how careful they are.


It’s magnetic induction sensors I believe, you need magnetic materials.
Most bikes are built mostly out of aluminium (or carbon) now, so don’t trigger them.


Ooh, good call!


When did the rarity colours become mostly standardised? Was it World of Warcraft, or an earlier game?
It’s because we CAN become a pedestrian. Get off and pick up the bike, tada!
The problem is that it’s very easy to slip into pretending your a pedestrian while ON the bike. It’s mostly fine, as if you are going slow, it’s really not a problem, but some will obviously take it too far.
I get annoyed at cyclists jumping lights, gives us a bad name, it is required sometimes though, bikes don’t set off the under road sensors for traffic lights


Nepal or something wasn’t it?


If I understand correctly, they recently rebuilt all of the voice/video stuff. Video should be coming soon, it’s more of a resourcing issue for their servers.
I looked at self hosting, but it’s a bit of a mess currently.


I’m in the UK though, so they imply they may (already or in teh future) need to verify my age anyway.
They don’t seem to have a great out of box experience currently, will require some more poking around.


I’m going to try self hosting https://stoat.chat/ not sure it has screen sharing yet, but apparently they just re-wrote all their voice/video stuff, so it should be available soon.













I feel sorry for Alonso. Think he will make it to the end of the year?
