security vulnerabilities
yo if y'all use Matrix with the Element client (or any other client implemented using the same libraries), y'all should update.
https://nebuchadnezzar-megolm.github.io/ and https://matrix.org/blog/2022/09/28/upgrade-now-to-address-encryption-vulns-in-matrix-sdks-and-clients describe some vulnerabilities that could be exploited by a malicious homeserver (some in the protocol itself, some just in Element) and the fixes (or, for the protocol issues that haven't yet been fixed, how users can mitigate them)

oh, the free covid tests thing in the US is ending September 2 'cause congress didn't get them any funding to buy more tests. so like, if you're in the US and you haven't already gotten 3 sets of those, consider doing so (https://special.usps.com/testkits)
