That doesn't mean I'm not reading the contents regularly. But it does mean that the bridge would terminate your session and you'd have to go through the whole process of connecting to the desired rooms from scratch. <br /> <br /> I found this burdensome and incompatible with the way IRC is used, so I decided some time back that I wasn't going to use Matrix as an IRC bouncer any more. (Which also means that most of my use of Matrix has ended. I'm in several rooms where there were less than 10 posts total so far in 2023, and now I find myself not checking regularly ... and naturally notifications are turned off.)3432999http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2023-11-28T22:38:17+00:002023-11-28T22:38:17+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.

Others occur so rarely that only one or two people know a fix. Those especially need to go into the documentation. Not just because of "truck factor", but because even those people can forget if there is a long enough time between the question recurring.3424946http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2023-05-09T04:22:39+00:002023-05-09T04:22:39+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.

You need to load the scrollback for the time period in question, then proceed backward from where you are to the time when the question and answer occurred. <br /><br /> I don't recall there being a search feature, but even if there were, posts don't get their own addressable URIs, so it isn't possible to link that answer as a reference in a public Q&A/FAQ.<br /><br /> So it has almost all the negatives of #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/irc" rel="tag">IRC</a></span>, but with a central corporate operator that is incentivized to block external solutions to those negatives.
