  • Synapse

    Discontinued Synapse: Matrix homeserver written in Python/Twisted.

  • nginx-rtmp-docker

    Docker image with Nginx using the nginx-rtmp-module module for live multimedia (video) streaming.

    • My favorite for streaming is actually just setting up your own streaming website and streaming OBS. Completely open source software, and not too expensive to do. Just use https://github.com/tiangolo/nginx-rtmp-docker to setup a host and get everyone to open it with VLC or any other media player.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • matrix-react-sdk

    • Encryption is now enabled by default for 1:1 chats. There's an MR for adding GIF support but looks like they are not interested in it.
