[1209.64 --> 1213.14] It just took me this long to actually be bothered enough to go in and fix it.
[1213.14 --> 1221.50] So it turns out in version 1.16, GitT introduced a new webhook allowed host list variable.
[1221.94 --> 1223.10] Written a blog post about it.
[1223.14 --> 1224.18] There'll be a link in the show notes.
[1224.58 --> 1227.38] It's a very simple one-line change in the app.ini file.
[1227.82 --> 1232.42] Once I'd figured it out, you know, I'd actually gone and read the logs that told me exactly what the problem was.
[1232.58 --> 1234.38] It was about 10 minutes to go and fix it.
[1234.72 --> 1235.78] So isn't that funny?
[1236.14 --> 1238.94] Something gets broken, takes months to get to it.
[1238.94 --> 1242.18] And then when you finally do get to it, it's not that big of a change.
[1242.64 --> 1243.18] But nice.
[1243.30 --> 1244.86] I'm glad to hear you did find this.
[1245.20 --> 1246.96] I've definitely been there.
[1247.76 --> 1251.26] That may be what ends up happening with my whole Z-Wave conversion with HomoSystems.
[1251.28 --> 1253.84] When I finally do pull the trigger, it's like not that bad.
[1253.88 --> 1255.86] And I end up waiting months before I do it.
[1256.24 --> 1262.52] So I just want to say thanks to 6543, who's in the Discord chat, in the live chat as we're live streaming.
[1263.26 --> 1264.22] Thanks for all the great work.
[1264.54 --> 1268.64] GitT is a fantastic Git server for those of you that haven't used it.
[1268.94 --> 1270.08] Go ahead and check it out.
[1270.12 --> 1272.92] It's spelled Git, G-I-T-E-A, GitT.
[1273.50 --> 1280.76] It looks very similarly themed to GitHub, but it's self-hostable and it's a lot more lightweight than GitLab.
[1281.12 --> 1281.92] I just love it.
[1282.00 --> 1283.02] I've run it for years now.
[1283.12 --> 1284.28] It's a fantastic project.
[1284.82 --> 1290.34] Well, we got a little bit of news in the self-hosted land that's kind of in my neck of the woods.
[1290.66 --> 1293.62] I'm becoming a bigger and bigger Matrix enthusiast.
[1293.62 --> 1300.92] I kind of feel like the rest of the world hasn't caught on to the fact that it's like the new HTTP protocol and the new SMT protocol all in one.
[1301.64 --> 1304.78] But I think the folks over at Rocket Chat have figured it out.
[1304.90 --> 1306.12] Did you see this announcement, Alex?
[1306.48 --> 1307.90] I'm going to answer your question in a second.
[1308.04 --> 1310.52] I totally thought you were going down the Ron Burgundy route.
[1310.80 --> 1313.12] I'm becoming more and more of kind of a big deal.
[1314.44 --> 1316.68] Bigger and bigger of a Matrix kind of guy.
[1317.36 --> 1319.34] I'm a big deal on Matrix, Alex.
[1319.34 --> 1320.18] That's where you went.
[1320.30 --> 1321.28] That's where you went with that.
[1321.72 --> 1327.52] So, yeah, there was some really fantastic news out of the Matrix project today.
[1327.94 --> 1329.56] Well, out of Rocket Chat, too, both of them.
[1329.72 --> 1333.12] So we just wanted to take a moment to welcome Rocket Chat to Matrix.
[1333.58 --> 1338.90] And given the announcement that they are switching to using Matrix for standards-based interoperable federation,
[1339.48 --> 1340.50] this is incredible news.
[1340.70 --> 1345.12] Rocket Chat is one of the leading open source collaboration platforms with over 12 million users.
[1345.12 --> 1351.76] And shortly, they will all have the option to natively interoperate with the wider Matrix network.
[1352.12 --> 1352.98] This is slick.
[1353.56 --> 1358.32] You know, Rocket Chat is, you know, you could call it a Slack, open source Slack alternative,
[1358.48 --> 1360.04] you know, just to kind of give you an idea of what it does.
[1360.68 --> 1367.94] And as most of these platforms, they were facing a demand to federate, to connect with other instances.
[1367.94 --> 1372.58] And so I got to imagine what happened is they looked at it, they started doing the math, and they said, well,
[1372.74 --> 1377.00] could we just roll this feature out ourself and interconnect all these different Rocket Chat instances?
[1377.42 --> 1385.70] And instead of another chat project creating another set of standards for another unified federated network,
[1385.92 --> 1388.80] they decided, well, we'll use the Matrix protocols.
[1388.80 --> 1393.76] And I think this is fantastic because it's going to use the encryption.
[1394.06 --> 1398.28] It's going to mean that if you have a Matrix-compatible client, and there's more and more of them out there,
[1398.60 --> 1401.82] you can chat now with somebody on Rocket Chat and vice versa.
[1402.34 --> 1404.58] So there's just a lot of benefit, I think, to this.
[1404.68 --> 1410.28] Plus, it's sort of like when you're trying to roll your own encryption, you generally don't roll the best encryption.
[1410.48 --> 1411.46] It's generally pretty unsafe.
[1411.62 --> 1414.32] I think that's probably pretty true with a lot of communications protocols, too.
[1414.36 --> 1418.12] When you roll your own, it tends not to be great, at least for a while.
[1418.12 --> 1423.74] So if you can instead use something that's an open source standard that's been tested for years,
[1424.52 --> 1426.16] it's one less thing you have to worry about.
[1426.24 --> 1427.60] It's one less thing you have to be an expert in.
[1428.02 --> 1429.52] Anyone remember XMPP?
[1429.82 --> 1431.14] Wasn't that supposed to be the future?
[1431.62 --> 1433.56] I still love XMPP.
[1434.42 --> 1435.50] I still do.
[1435.92 --> 1441.26] There is a low-key movement in podcasting, in the podcasting 2.0 corner,
[1441.26 --> 1452.78] to use XMPP as a back-end, real-time comments in podcast apps that would sort of use XMPP to move it between the various podcast apps on the background.
[1452.96 --> 1454.92] So it may come back in podcasting.
[1455.38 --> 1456.12] You never know.
[1456.64 --> 1457.62] If you wish hard enough, Alex.
[1457.62 --> 1465.44] Now, have you ever needed to give anybody access to your server that you weren't completely comfortable giving them access to,
[1465.48 --> 1466.64] to run a command or something?
[1467.14 --> 1467.50] Hmm.
[1467.96 --> 1469.54] Just that Alan Jude, you know?
[1469.88 --> 1472.54] You put them on one of your boxes, the next thing you know, it's a free BSD machine.
[1475.08 --> 1476.44] That wasn't quite what I meant.
[1476.44 --> 1483.14] What I meant was something like restarting Plex or doing a wake-on-land command or something like that.
[1483.64 --> 1488.00] Well, I have a project for you if you ever wanted to solve that problem, and it's called Olive Tin.
[1488.42 --> 1494.80] This project lets you safely give access to commands for less technical people in the web browser.
[1495.18 --> 1496.02] In the web browser?
[1496.58 --> 1497.42] Yeah, right?
[1497.54 --> 1501.94] So what this does is you configure a bunch of commands under the hood that you want it to execute,
[1502.22 --> 1506.32] and it then displays each command as a different button in its web UI.
[1506.44 --> 1507.40] Oh, this is slick.
[1507.50 --> 1508.38] Big buttons, too.
[1508.52 --> 1510.68] So kind of almost like a dashboard, but simplified.
[1510.98 --> 1514.84] Yeah, it'd be very good and useful for, you know, triggering something.
[1515.46 --> 1516.44] Plex is a good example.
[1516.62 --> 1522.46] I used to have a Telegram bot that I configured for my family when I was having loads of transcoding issues a couple of years ago.
[1522.70 --> 1528.48] They would text the Telegram bot and say, you know, slash Plex, and it would restart the Docker container.
[1528.80 --> 1533.08] But this would be just as good and probably an awful lot easier to set up than a Telegram bot.
[1533.24 --> 1536.22] Yeah, so essentially it outputs for you.
[1536.44 --> 1544.46] A very simple web page with very large buttons, and it looks like you can set like emoticons to add some graphics to it.
[1544.86 --> 1547.38] I see on the back end it's just executing some command line script.
[1547.68 --> 1551.50] I guess it must execute with whatever privileges you're running this application as.
[1551.50 --> 1556.02] So it has to be something that application user has access to.
[1556.72 --> 1559.24] Well, of course, it runs as Docker.
[1559.46 --> 1560.84] It runs in a Docker container.
