 Domen Kožar | * Julien: I've been in many non-profit organizations and one of the hardest things to design for is when people burn out, which happens a lot | 13:04:27 |
| Domen Kožar | it doesn't even have to be burning out, they just get a baby :) | 13:05:55 |
 flokli | The amount of people actually writing code to understand the large dataset that cache.nixos.org is is quite small, and we're all pretty burnt out. | 13:05:59 |
| Domen Kožar | yes exactly my point :) | 13:06:11 |
| flokli | I'll just take a step back from this for now. | 13:06:18 |
| flokli | Check back with the foundation and your potential sponsors, make sure we have commitments in, and backing from the foundation | 13:06:34 |
| Domen Kožar | I'll do my best | 13:06:45 |

| flokli | And if/once we do have wiggling room to design a nicer system, we could. | 13:06:49 |

| Domen Kožar | when you work in a team of volunteers you have to assume anyone can leave at any time | 13:07:46 |
| Domen Kožar | and when you start paying engineers, 7k/mo is pretty cheap | 13:08:26 |
 patka | I might be out of line here and interfer with this I shouldn't mingle myself with. But people also burn out really fast when a plan is made and agreed upon and then someone comes along and throws a wrench into the plans, with only wishes and good intentions | 13:08:32 |
| Domen Kožar | yeah I understand this | 13:09:30 |
| Julien | I see your point and it's an important one. I think what I'd like us to have is have the data saved somewhere and still accessible. I think we could still have the "current" data (1 year of unstable, 2 releases) in a cloud infrastructure that cost way less, and parallely export the data to another place we manage where there is less availability and that is maintained as best effort policy. | 13:09:43 |

| Domen Kožar | patka: I'm financially responsible if foundation runs out of money, so I do have my foot in this | 13:10:59 |
| Domen Kožar | I did not anticipate that AWS will waive all the fees, so the conditions have changed | 13:11:56 |

I think we could still have the "current" data (1 year of unstable, 2 releases) in a cloud infrastructure that just works but cost way less (because we have less data), and parallely export the data to another place we manage where there is less availability assumptions and that is maintained as best effort policy. | 13:12:11 |
| Julien | Maybe in that case we should also ask AWS to double our sponsorship, if we are willing to go away from them | 13:13:10 |

this is not time nor place to bring our the morals because we all have our own and it's going to be impossible to find a common ground, that's how morals work convenient | 13:13:41 |
| Domen Kožar | we talked to Cloudflare and they would give us some mass discount | 13:13:49 |
| Domen Kožar | but they never gave us a number | 13:13:57 |
| delroth | if that's going to be the foundation's stance on things, I hope you're ready to accept the consequences that come with it | 13:14:01 |
| Domen Kožar | delroth: is that threatening? | 13:14:27 |
