This was fixed for me since the rust crypto implementation for matrix last year.
Is the fix a client thing or is there an interaction with the server as well? I had really bad issues with message decryption on Element for Android last year (July 2023 based on the date I installed a different matrix client).
I'm self-hosting synapse on Debian Bullseye (from bullseye-backports).
Afaik it was the client implementation, the encryption logic is the same just redone in a different language.
The issue i had was that when using unstable network connections(mostly mobile) it would miss one message or something like that and all following messages wouldnt be decryptable.
This seems to be the version where the switch happened https://github.com/element-hq/element-android/releases/tag/v1.6.0
Thanks for the info! I'll have to give Element another go and see if it's more reliable for me nowadays.
It’s significantly more reliable but it’s not fixed.
I’m obviously out of the loop, because I don’t know. Can someone explain?
It's an error message matrix (the messaging application) throws when something goes wrong that makes it unable to decrypt messages.
Ah thank you. I was unaware of the matrix protocol.
fyi
Guessing from other comments, looks like annoying and unusually common issues using Matrix
Just got some “your server is misconfigured” message when I logged in to my server on element web (on a machine I haven’t installed element desktop on yet) and when I click the link it takes me to this GitHub page talking about camel case vs snake case. All that’s great, but I’m running dendrite and my entire dendrite config file is snake case. 🤷♂️
Waiting for this message, this may take a while
This cover just reminded me of an early 2000s trend to Photoshop this cover.
I just tried a couple of old sights and they're dead.
Does anyone have any old websites to recommend?
I want to go back and visit the old web.
That's like asking where you can find a published paper and being linked to google.com
No, if they tried a couple sites that are no longer up, they could look at them there.
Yeah, Let Me Google That For You.
To expand upon this, you can install the web archive extensions which tries to automatically find a website archive if the site you visit is dead (or you can manually select search).

Apparently Matrix's home server is not playing well with some other servers so if you have a matrix.org account you might be seeing this more often.
💀
It used to happen a lot. Havent had it for like 6 months and now its starting to happen again. Mostly with matrix.org users too. No idea what the issue is. Other server make no issues at all so far.
