# techsaviours.org becomes digitalprivacy.diy
|
|
We have changed the name to something more appropriate. The last announcement about _TECH SAVIOURS_ actually expressed something different, but it was also a very quick decision - just over a week ago, and basically everything is already in the pipeline.
|
|
The new name will simply be “**DIGITAL PRIVACY**” and the TLD will be **.DIY** (**D**o **I**t **Y**ourself). That's what it actually is - “Your digital privacy diy solutions”.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# What does it mean for you?
|
|
|
|
## Matrix
|
|
Matrix will be a brand new domain **@user:digitalprivacy.diy** and cannot simply be merged from @user:techsaviours.org to the new domain. A new registration is therefore mandatory - sorry for that.
|
|
It is already possible to register via https://chat.digitalprivacy.diy or `digitalprivacy.diy` via your favourite client (Custom server).
|
|
|
|
You must use the registration token `NjT8tY6CSR4yRHIH`. A token will be required for every registration from now on. A new token will be created approximately every month and will be published either on the website or on other platforms.
|
|
|
|
Also, if you get “***This room is too busy. Sorry, but you can't join it.***", we have enabled [limit_remote_rooms](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#limit_remote_rooms) to block the heavy rooms like `#matrix:matrix.org`. We ended up with **complexity: 40**, which still allows you to join rooms with around 8000 users.
|
|
The idea of this instance, it's more about socializing in small rooms - talking just to your/our friends. We may even reduce the number if the database grows too fast and to make this instance less interesting for spammers.
|
|
If you want to join the big rooms, another instance is probably the better choice.
|
|
|
|
techsaviours.org will still be available and maintained until October 25, 2024. This gives you enough time to either choose a completely different instance or gradually move to the new domain.
|
|
|
|
## Forgejo
|
|
Forgejo will also be moved on Wednesday.
|
|
So you will need to change the URL one more time via `git remote set-url origin forgejo@git.digitalprivacy.diy:USER/REPO.git`, same thing like the last time when the move from [Gitea to Forgejo](https://digitalprivacy.diy/news/en/tech-saviours-news-28-04-2024) happened.
|
|
|
|
## Domain
|
|
Everything else is actually the same. Simply replace _techsaviours.org_ with `digitalprivacy.diy`.
|
|
You'll see slightly changes the next few days/weeks. You'll notice the redirections to ***.digitalprivacy.diy**.
|
|
|
|
## Mastodon
|
|
Also mastodon is already transferred to https://fosstodon.org/@digitalprivacy. You may have already noticed it.
|
|
We have enabled to delete every post created after 6 month ago. I don't know how often and how far back you scroll, but I think it makes more sense to delete posts that are no longer important. And therefore save Fosstodon and the entire Federation a little more storage (money). Maybe it will also leave a slightly smaller footprint on our planet by using less power.

# New Extra
|
|
There is also a new extra, but it is still “hidden” in the wiki. If anyone is interested in finding it. Have fun ;) But it will also be published very soon. It fits perfectly with the new domain in typical **DIY** manner, as mentioned:
|
|
|
|
> you will be able to check your devices/networks
|
|
|
|
That's it so far. I hope it's not too much trouble, but we think it's worth it.
|
|
I will also let you know when the move to **git.digitalprivacy.diy (forgejo)** is completed.
|
|
|
|
Welcome your new **DIGITAL PRIVACY .DIY** solutions and have a good start to the new week
|
