I have that documented in Ansible playbook and will also submit a merge request to Synapse repo clarifying the confusing parts.

In general, Synapse is quite easy to set up as a monolithic service, but once workers are involved they require quite careful URL routing for both the clients and between them.

Give me a few days and I'll publish something on that subject, right now I'm too exhausted 😂

A Polish company published an instant messenger based on Signal open-source code, and started suing local IT media who weren't sufficiently enthusiastic about it. My recommendation would be generally to stay away from #Usecrypt

#Matrix Synapse architecture with workers is complex and documentation is fucked up, but I got it working in a deterministic fashion after like a week of trial and error 🤦‍♂️

Note you *can* already have quite powerful type checking in Python using type annotations!

Polish journalist arguing with "Stalin-Verstehers" in 1931:

"Western societies widely believe that Red Army only has defensive potential. They basically believe that 'if Red Army soldiers were ordered by Moscow to invade a foreign country country, they would mutiny'. I believe they are wrong."

And he was right 🤷

@dump_stack

Oh that for sure. You can be generally anti-nationalist without automatically aligning with any of the tribes.

Regarding Navalny, I accept that he certainly had nationalist episodes but on the spectrum he's not far from Eastern European average, whether we like it or not.

@dump_stack

His statements, now interpreted as nationalist, were for example about Chechen government, which is perfectly valid and evidence-based.

Now compare that with Rogozin or Simonyan's "criminal Negroes", both fiercely defended by everyone in the Russian political circles...

@dump_stack

So we clearly scanned the same Wikipedia article about Navalny 😂 TBH if you look at these few claims without any presumptions, he doesn't seem to be actually more nationalist than say most Tories in UK.

"Russkiy march" he organised as Yabloko party, there's that footnote where he says no racist slurs are tolerable.

Dislike for Putin is no reason to automatically jump on any bullshit that implies Putin, and this is precisely the case.

The only thing that makes the case of MH17 and Smolensk crash similar is the propaganda techniques of Kremlin and Macierewicz respectively.

In both cases there's a massive body of internally consistent evidence that supports the official version. Both Kremlin and Macierewicz chose to flood the public with inconsistent conspiracies instead.
