It’s been a while since I haven’t posted anything on here. A couple of years actually. This time, though, I’m not writing about something techy (well, mostly), or a project. This time, it’s more of a personal update. 2023 has been a pretty eventful year for me, and even though I haven’t really done that in the past, and I’m not sure how interesting this will be for anyone except myself, I thought it was worth commemorating the milestones that happened in the past year on my own little corner of the World Wide Web. https://brendan.abolivier.bzh/matrix-retention-policies/ Mon, 11 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0200 https://brendan.abolivier.bzh/matrix-retention-policies/ Hello there, long time no see! As you may know, I’m currently working at Element, as part of the backend team working on Matrix’s server-side implementations. The main project involved in this work, at least from my side of things, is Synapse, the reference Matrix homeserver implementation. If you don’t know what a homeserver is, you may want to check out my post Enter the Matrix, in which I give an extensive introduction to Matrix. https://brendan.abolivier.bzh/install-party-1.0/ Fri, 01 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0200 https://brendan.abolivier.bzh/install-party-1.0/ A few weeks ago, I attended Ubucon Europe in Sintra with two of my colleagues from the Matrix core team (oh, yes, if you didn’t know already, I joined New Vector about a year ago, and I’ve been working on Matrix as my full-time job since then). We had a few chats with very nice people, and also hosted two Matrix-related workshops. One of these workshops, which happened on the morning of the last day, was about installing Synapse, the reference Matrix homeserver implementation. https://brendan.abolivier.bzh/enter-the-matrix/ Sun, 13 May 2018 00:00:00 +0200 https://brendan.abolivier.bzh/enter-the-matrix/ As you might know if you’ve been following me on Twitter for some time (or if you know me in real life), I’m very fond of free software and decentralisation. I love free software because it matches the philosophy I want to live by, and decentralisation because it enlarges a user’s freedom and individuality, and I find working on decentralised systems fascinating. Doing so forces one to change their way of designing a system entirely, since most of the Internet now consists of centralised services, which leads people to only learn how to design and engineer these.
