Dear GNU Radio community, Monday, the 13. of September, at 12:30 UTC
we will temporarily shut down the Matrix homeserver. This means that if you have a @username:gnuradio.org Matrix account, it will temporarily stop working. We expect the Matrix infrastructure to be up and running, at better performance, Monday, the 13. of September, at 19:00 UTC. Everything will work as before. Any message sent to you (or a channel you're in) while we're offline will simply arrive as soon as we're back. ***You will be logged out automatically.*** Right now is a good point in time to verify you know your password. You will have to log in afterwards. This will also apply to mobile clients. There is another thing, though: For private chats, Matrix enables end-to-end encryption by default, so your messages are save and unreadable for anyone but you even if someone takes over the homeserver. But that means: ***If you don't have a backup of your cryptographic secrets, you will NOT be able to read your old private messages after the move*.** For your private messaging to be readable after, you need to enable an encrypted key backup before the migration. It's easy: In short, if you're using chat.gnuradio.org, go to Settings -> Security & privacy -> Secure Backup and click on the large "Set up" button, as shown in here: https://www.gnuradio.org/matrixbackup If you have any questions feel free to either reach out to us at ad...@gnuradio.org or check the more extensive official documentation provided by Element: https://ems-docs.element.io/Set-up-Cross-Signing.html Thank you Your GNU Radio community
