The reason for this limitation is actually on the IRC side - we can only have so many users connected via Matrix, so we need to time out stale ones.

I asked around and it seems like you're right about it not being a resource issue (network or computational). The issue is that the bridge is unstable and having tens of thousands of matrix.org users join/parting every now and then disrupts the IRC channels.

It's also mentioned in Libera's FAQ:

> At our request, the EMS-hosted Libera.Chat bridge regularly prunes idle connections to minimize disruptions to IRC channels during bridge restarts.

For trip recording, in OsmAnd~'s sidebar check out the "Plugins" menu item and enable Trip Recording.

Not sure why this comment was dead - there is indeed a trip recording plugin. Would be nice if it were enabled by default.

Looks like that's a bug that occurs when javascript is disabled. It should have another two entries.

I assume they're now aware of it :)

I would say it's equivalent to opening all email attachments in a VM, as there is a sandbox these things run in. That's security-wise though.

Privacy-wise there's certainly more fingerprintable data available to the program than what you would get in a typical VM.

Which you can bridge to your slack rooms to keep the existing conversation going!

We've just hired a new full-time employee to work on Dendrite and p2p matrix. Expect rapid progress on Dendrite as of a few days ago.
