BZNotifymaster @ bzflag.org: blast007 544927: Remove the Matrix.org links as the IRC bridge isn't coming back. (https://github.com/BZFlag-Dev/bzflag.org/commit/544927a7ae7a8f4395a837b214e8484ef818c0cb)02:10
ZehraWas nice while it lasted. I guess it wasn't viable/workable in the long run.02:18
Juesthuh?02:25
Juestit was libera decision, you can read it on their blog02:26
blast007there's something we could run ourselves, but I'm not sure it's worth investing much time into.02:27
Juestnot that worth, it requires setting up your own matrix server and the software is painful to use i heard02:28
Zehra^02:28
ZehraMatrix is painful in it of itself.02:28
blast007ah, yeah, if it requires running a whole homeserver then I'm definitely not interested02:29
Juesteither that or you need an admin to add your bridge to the services02:30
Juestit requires server access02:30
Juestfederation is another can of worms02:30
ZehraIMO, it basically worked like an IRC bouncer... which probably was the main reason anyone used it.02:31
Zehra(In this specific use case/scenario.)02:31
Juestpeople abused that precisely unfortunately02:31
Juestand then there's throttling and delays issues causing spam02:31
Zehra"my message didn't sent... send another... wait two messages... uh oh.."02:32
Juesta discord bridge is much easier to deal with02:32
ZehraEspecially since it doesn't deal with the IMO messy "Matrix" protocol.02:33
ZehraSomething I'd be interested in seeing, is a lightweight discord/slack alternative, but bz tailored, it uses the checkToken stuff for auth... so no messy account stuff and similar.02:35
blast007our weblogin needs to die02:36
Juestlike a mastodon instance, i think matrix requires a fqdn 02:36
Juestvalid fqdn02:36
JuestZehra: see zulip, the new workspace chat application02:36
Juestblast007: why the weblogin struck for so long02:37
blast007what?02:37
Zehrablast007: what are future options?02:37
blast007I want to replace our weblogin with OpenID Connect, but that's a reasonbly large undertaking02:37
blast007https://www.ory.sh/open-source/02:38
ZehraJuest: I'd have to check on perform and similar, but it looks visually somewhat appealing.02:43
ZehraI'm not sure if I get OpenID Connect, but if this is accurate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:OpenIDvs.Pseudo-AuthenticationusingOAuth.svg?useskin=vector02:55
blast007OpenID is different than OpenID Connect02:57
Juestwhat's the difference?02:57
blast007I don't know.  :)02:57
blast007but OIDC is build on top of OAuth 2.002:58
Juestduh02:58
blast007built*02:58
blast007oh, maybe both are02:59
ZehraWhy would we make the switch them to Open ID Connect... since AFAIK, it seems OpenID (Not Connect) is just "here is a certificate" vs what we have of a token which says "auth for user is good".03:02
ZehraI'm not sure what the advantage/disadvantage would be from this though.03:04
blast007we don't use either right now03:07
ZehraLike our current weblogin/auth system, it seems like "match password" and send tokens if passwd matches and say the token is good03:09
Zehrait seems pretty okayish, but except maybe for sending the password on every request or so03:12
Zehraor wait, now I'm sort of getting why it's a good idea for a change03:15
Juestits worse than an api right?03:16
ZehraIf we don't send passwords every time, we reduce risk, since at most, users can join game servers and tokens can be easily revoked in that case.03:16
Zehraand the tokens would then be used to generate some form of "sessions" for the user and server03:17
Juestwell, it'll unfortunately break xp people from playing03:17
Juestand 32 bits linux03:17
ZehraThey can switch to ReactOS :)03:17
Juestno, reactos is still alpha03:18
ZehraAnd people should be using a permanent zero-day system instead?03:18
Juestnot saying that either03:19
Zehrastill, it's a good idea if they use alternative systems. :)03:26
Juestusability beats insecurity03:27
