<2022-10-13T13:37:28.000Z> sin: Hi there! Is the Matrix server still on the table? :) 
<2022-10-13T16:41:46.000Z> chudbere: yes possibly, i just haven't had a chance to look into it
<2022-10-13T16:47:25.000Z> sin: cool. I just thought I can give it a shot if needed. I've been looking into its single sign-on stuff recently. the best case scenario people could login with their chudbuds or other fedi account
<2022-10-13T16:49:04.000Z> sin: I sent a ticket to BuyVM asking about the general stuff. I didn't know this site was hosted there too, heh
<2022-10-13T16:54:55.000Z> chudbere: yeah I went with what alex recommended on the soapbox page
<2022-10-13T17:06:21.000Z> sin: Nice. Yes... It's a pretty solid host. I can try to host the server if needed. I already have one on my dedicated server but it's mostly for personal the personal stuff, like whatsapp and IRC. Whenever you're ready I can just grab a KVM slice from buyvm and set it up
<2022-10-13T17:07:20.000Z> chudbere: okay I will let you know. if there's a way to make it so the same login can be used I'd be willing to host it ourselves on chudbuds url
<2022-10-13T17:07:32.000Z> chudbere: graf might know more about if it can be integrated in that way
<2022-10-13T17:19:22.000Z> sin: I've seen their server. They don't seem to support SSO. But I'm about 70% sure it can be done with Fedi. I came to realize it after I logged in with Husky and it also used the same tech (oauth/oidc). I also have a simple Google Auth on my Matrix homeserver. As a bonus you get the two-factor authentication if enabled on your account.
<2022-10-13T17:23:57.000Z> chudbere: you're speaking beyond my pay grade now. I have a very limited knowledge of how that stuff works, unfortunately
<2022-10-13T17:27:59.000Z> sin: :) no worries, I went through the pain of setting it up more than once or twice. If I host it all that's needed is to add DNS records that point to the server. Like matrix.chudbuds.lol but that's for the later
<2022-10-24T15:43:22.000Z> sin: hello! have you thought about the Matrix server or rather stick with Guilded? If you still want to go with it, I was thinking of getting a VPS from buyvm once they stock up again and register a custom domain for it. then I can start setting it up, and hopefully I can get it to work in the way that people can sign up with their chudbuds.lol account. it definitely looks like it's possible
<2022-10-24T19:40:41.000Z> chudbere: yes, I think what I want to do is wait until I get a larger server slice provisioned
<2022-10-24T19:40:59.000Z> chudbere: and another host for chudbuds.com
<2022-10-24T19:41:11.000Z> chudbere: then we can put the matrix server on that
<2022-10-25T00:16:42.000Z> sin: I was thinking of hosting it independent of the main site, aside from the login API (if I can get it to work). So it'd be completely different server and domain. It's for a couple of reasons: a) system resources and bandwidth: hosting it independently so it won't bother the fedi site functionality. And people can still chat there if cb.lol goes down and b) security: they don't recommend on hosting it on the same domain due to possibility of XSS attacks: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse#security-note I could start working on it this week if you want. The worst that can happen is that we don't go with the Matrix server after all and I'll just shut it down later
<2022-10-25T00:17:20.000Z> chudbere: yes, i'd want it on another server
<2022-10-25T00:17:57.000Z> chudbere: Sure go ahead and start working on it, let me know what the DNS is and I can point chudbuds.com or a subdomain such as matrix.chudbuds.com to it
<2022-10-25T00:19:16.000Z> chudbere: you're officially staff lol, made you a custom title and verified your account
<2022-10-25T00:19:40.000Z> sin: Haha thanks
<2022-10-25T00:23:34.000Z> sin: So the main page will be still chudbuds.lol and the matrix server would be chudbuds.com ? If I got this right. That's actually good so I don't have to register a custom domain myself
<2022-10-25T00:27:21.000Z> chudbere: yes
<2022-10-25T00:27:27.000Z> chudbere: I own chudbuds.com already
<2022-10-25T00:28:20.000Z> chudbere: i could also get chudbuds.org if you think that is better
<2022-10-25T00:30:33.000Z> sin: Nice👍. Either is fine to me. As long as it doesn't change after the initial setup
<2022-10-25T01:07:59.000Z> chudbere: purchased chudbuds.org
<2022-10-25T01:08:03.000Z> chudbere: let's throw it on that
<2022-10-25T01:08:11.000Z> chudbere: matrix.chudbuds.org
<2022-10-25T01:09:45.000Z> sin: Cool. I'll use it with the initial setup
<2022-10-25T12:20:26.000Z> sin: I got a slice from their Luxembourg data center :) Looks like it needs manual deployment from them as it's still "pending"
<2022-10-25T12:23:29.000Z> sin: btw, I'd prefer to use chudbuds.org (the main domain) rather than the subdomain. it's a bit easier with non- Lets encrypt certificates. the chudbuds.org can still serve static web content if needed. but if you have other plans for the http://chudbuds.org the subdomain is also fine
<2022-10-25T14:09:50.000Z> sin: haha. I just couldn't resist on getting "chud.sbs". you can almost pronounce it "chud(s) buds"
<2022-10-25T14:15:02.000Z> sin: we can still use the .org you purchased though :) it's your call. still waiting for the VPS to be set up
<2022-10-25T14:23:11.000Z> chudbere: yeah .org is good
<2022-10-25T14:25:39.000Z> sin: Cool. Are you fine with chudbuds.org or rather use matrix.chudbuds.org ? I can still set redirect or a static page to the "main page" if people visit the address with their browser
<2022-10-25T14:26:54.000Z> sin: Even if it serves the matrix server. I can do it with a reverse proxy
<2022-10-25T15:01:45.000Z> chudbere: The base domain is fine 
<2022-10-25T15:04:08.000Z> sin: Great👍 think the VPS should be available soon. They process new orders from 8am PST
<2022-10-25T16:58:44.000Z> sin: lmao the bastards decided I have "invalid contact information" despite being BuyVM customer for 2 years not too long ago and nothing has changed. sent them a ticket asking them wtf. If I get a similar reply you did about the upgrade, I'll just look into another host
<2022-10-25T17:50:18.000Z> sin: hahahIf you do not wish to provide a new address, you are welcomed to place a new order and opt to pay with crypto as that bypasses checks but locks you to that payment method.Respectfully,Karen
<2022-10-25T17:50:40.000Z> chudbere: lol
<2022-10-25T17:50:42.000Z> sin: looks like Karen is a total pro. No matter, I'm talking to another host already
<2022-10-25T17:50:55.000Z> chudbere: sounds good
<2022-10-25T17:51:44.000Z> sin: yup. probably going with dedicated, I feel more comfy with those anyway
<2022-10-25T17:52:28.000Z> chudbere: okay whatever you feel like
<2022-10-25T17:53:09.000Z> chudbere: let me know how much it ends up costing with an invoice and I will send some $$ your way for it when we get some more donos
<2022-10-25T17:53:14.000Z> chudbere: I just set up liberapay
<2022-10-25T17:53:33.000Z> chudbere: a little busy tracking this vito situation though
<2022-10-25T18:01:27.000Z> sin: cool thanks, appreciate it. no rush. I actually can't legally accept donations haha (dumb eurocuck laws/rules). but maybe sending some $$ to the provider for server costs directly later on is fine. that's for the later though. anyways, I'll get back to you later once I hear back from the host.I'm not sure if I should be glad or sad that I don't know who this Vito is, lol
<2022-10-25T18:03:56.000Z> chudbere: glad
<2022-10-25T23:52:40.000Z> chudbere: do you want a chudbuds email address
<2022-10-26T10:41:38.000Z> sin: Sure why not :) 
<2022-10-26T10:42:39.000Z> sin: New host is doing the setup now. If you can set these records on chudbuds.org it'd be great 
<2022-10-26T10:43:20.000Z> sin: A record 185.107.69.1
<2022-10-26T10:44:04.000Z> sin: AAAA 	2A00:1768:6001:0046:0000:0000:0000:0005
<2022-10-26T11:34:54.000Z> sin: Thanks 🫡
<2022-10-26T13:55:47.000Z> chudbere: sent you a message in guilded
