This wasn't my intention, and I would hate it if the momentum behing this is now gone.

Are we going to wait until there might be a message from somewhere that there is sponsoring, or are we going to ask what the foundation thinks, or maybe continue with the plan that was already made?

14:43:31
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius I don't see any reason to change course given the recent elements 14:44:20
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius For the sake of charitable interpretation, I will write this as Domen being confused 14:44:44
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius As he didn't partake in any relevant meeting regarding cache in the past months AFAIK 14:45:04
@patka_123:matrix.orgpatka Because I have a feeling that (and it might be very wrong) that the natural course of things happening and what eventually might happen is people losing energy and just leaving it for what it is 14:45:22
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius If that's the case, I would encourage people to communicate that they feel they're losing energy and does not want to engage anymore, it's really hard to do more than that ; Domen is not the infra team 14:46:12
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius Infra team remains empowered to carve their paths and the various baby steps laid out for the next months 14:46:37
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius Next board meeting, we will discuss this suggestion from Domen and I will have more news to share 14:47:03

Nor do I, but again, my opinion is not very valuable on this. Just wanted to ask the opinions of the people involved. I think flokli for example said (not really, but that's my interpretation) that he wants to wait until there is a solid plan before going further
14:47:30
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius But I don't see any reason for why we would have a sudden change in course beyond the one we decided for w.r.t to GC in Tuesday's GC WG meeting 14:47:31
@patka_123:matrix.orgpatka Awesome! 14:47:43
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius Then I will leave the mic to @flokli  14:47:47

I said I want to pull out of this discussion until there's a clear position, funding secured, all math being done etc.

This is a *cache*, something doesn't exist or is corrupted? We rebuild it
keeping a disaster recovery copy is cheap
16:50:33
@edef1c:matrix.orgedefit's really not a big deal16:50:40

Yes but this is not what we were discussing in that context :p
16:52:25
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusYes, we can keep additional copies16:52:34
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius(so that healing is magic and what not)16:52:44
@edef1c:matrix.orgedef in general, throwing around numbers of nines is cute, but none of it means anything until you're specifying what SLOs these are for 17:01:06
@edef1c:matrix.orgedefseven nines of durability+availability doesn't mean anything by itself if we're not specifying the details17:02:14
@edef1c:matrix.orgedefavailable within what timescale? we can get a lot of nines for durability and availability within 14 days latency, we can all keep copies on tape in our basement17:03:18
@edef1c:matrix.orgedefbut the question that should be driving the SLO conversation is "what goals do these SLOs accomplish"17:05:11
@edef1c:matrix.orgedef
In reply to @whentze:matrix.org
do any cloud providers even have 7-nines SLAs for this kind of service?
Glacier, including Glacier Instant Retrieval, claims to offer 11 nines of durability
17:08:24
@edef1c:matrix.orgedefi don't have empirical data to support that but i would treat that number with some skepticism17:08:37

I know durability loss in AWS

@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusAnd it was under the SLO17:09:57
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius(yada yada when you know how the sausage is made you know why this happens and in which scale, etC.)17:10:25
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius * (yada yada when you know how the sausage is made you know why this happens and in which scale, etc.)17:10:26
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius But I don't think we need to convince folks of the fact that SLO is a budget and you burn into it 17:11:12
