Hot-Chilli Matrix server

If anyone is looking for a Matrix server besides matrix.org or matrix.im, please visit us at hot-chilli.im (Element Web at element.hot-chilli.im). As with the Jabber/XMPP server, use is free.

The Matrix server has been running for some time, but the website is still empty. We will merge it with this website and provide information about both our Jabber/XMPP server and the Matrix server on the new merged website.

Support for 2022

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and also a Happy New Year, especially our users. We will continue to operate the server for you in the next year as well.

Unfortunately, the support for server operations has decreased significantly recently. We run the server as a non-commercial project, but of course we had always hoped that a well-run server would be able to cover costs at some point.

We are therefore very happy about a small donation, one-off or with a regular small amount (“one coffee a month”). Here you will find all the donation options, from crypto currencies to Paypal and IBAN bank transfer.

If you can’t give anything financially, that’s okay! Everyone else please think about the fact that a free service still incurs costs and that even the smallest donation can help.

PS: Thanks to all supporters who already support the server!

“Do you have WhatsApp?”

Very good article about WhatsApp and related topics. Really worth reading it – if you understand German a bit or use Google Translate or something like this. Thank you Thomas Leister!

Nimbuzz blocked

We just blocked Nimbuzz traffic via our iptables firewall. At the moment this is just a test, but maybe we will block Nimbuzz for good.

The system has way too much CPU and memory usage and is not running stable. We have to do something about it. If it means that we have to block out Nimbuzz as there is no other way, then it is has to be the solution.
