Did whatsapp upgrade their stuff?

[IngwiePhoenix]

Suddenly, my Whatsapp bridge stopped working as intended, so I rebuilt my installation (git pull && go build) and restarted my systemd unit.

After deleting and re-instating my login, I saw this:

My systemd unit:

[Unit]
Description=matrix-whatsapp
After=network.target matrix-synapse
Wants=network-online.target matrix-synapse

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/srv/matrix/whatsapp/mautrix-whatsapp
WorkingDirectory=/srv/matrix/whatsapp
User=root
Group=root
Environment='LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib'

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH is for libolm to load properly.

Got an idea what this could be?

[IngwiePhoenix]

I just noticed that I, unintentionally, posted my phone number. Oops? Could we have a logging feature to hide this? Would be helpful... ^^"

[Nothing4You]

it's mentioned on https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp/wiki#discussion to strip phone numbers from log excerpts, but it would probably make sense to add that to a github issue template

Connection management has been improved so this probably doesn't apply directly anymore, although "connection timed out" means that the phone isn't reachable.
