Service Updates: MatrixRooms.info

Lack of rooms discovery for new users is one of the issues we noticed, so today, we welcome you to MatrixRooms.info , a search engine built for matrix rooms discovery.

The current index contains over 230,000 rooms across 19,000 servers, and we’re constantly tweaking it to provide more relevant search results. Even non-English users may find it useful because it does automatic language detection in room names and topics (during the alpha stage language analysis limited to English, Hindi, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, German)

We plan the following future improvements:

• Searching by language
• Searching by specific field
• Providing a browsable catalog of rooms by server/language/etc
• Implementing a subset of the Matrix Server-Server API to request (and provide!) a Matrix-native rooms directory

MatrixRooms.info , Source code , #mrs:etke.cc

As with anything else we do at etke.cc , the website, its API backend and all related tools are free software (A/GPL).

Service Updates

• Encrypted Bridges option has been added to the order form for new customers. Existing customers can request it by contacting support . Please, note that it’s unstable and may fail at any time without an easy way to fix it.
• A new service is now being offered: Custom Development . If you have a feature you want to implement within one of our open-source projects, but for some reason there are no MRs from the open-source community, and we don’t need it for our own services, you can pay us to get it done. Just to be on the same page: when we develop a project for our own needs, we implement specific features useful for our operations, but we don’t have spare resources to invest into features outside that scope. Of course, we totally understand that others use cases may be different from ours and that somebody will need a bit different set of features. We want to be fair, so we added that custom development service. If somebody finds it useful - that will be wonderful!

Outage is in progress (update)

• Impact: customers using etke.host as their matrix server’s domain, etke.cc email communications
• ETA: unknown

Outage is in progress (update)

• What: etke.host domain
• Impact: customers using etke.host as their matrix server’s domain, etke.cc email communications
• ETA: unknown

The etke.host domain name was put on hold by the domain registry operator due to a domain name listing in Google Safe Browsing.

We already sent requests to unlist the domain name from Google Safe Browsing and unsuspend it from the domain registry operator side because the reasons listed on the Google Safe Browsing side are false accusations and that domain name was never used for such actions from the moment it was registered by us.

Unfortunately, such requests may take a while before they will be fulfilled.
