Gnuxie 💜🐝 | In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org (also wow I did not know that Matrix had spent that much on core dev for what a trash fire everything still is. how come they constantly give off the appearance of being critically endangered from being strapped for cash?) bc that figure is out of the ceo's ass and was used to build a for profit buisness, not core matrix dev | 10:12:42 |
emily | right. for us, I don't think that is any benefit at all. if the centralized NixOS infra goes down everything else is already on fire | 10:12:48 |
emily | like, we also rely on nixos.org for builders, the cache, the Discourse forum, … | 10:13:03 |
emily | so Matrix sticking around in the event of a total nixos.org outage is, meh | 10:13:17 |
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.org | What could work is if homservers could take ownership of rooms but if the homeserver is unreachable then it would delegate to another HS, kind if like a list of fallbacks | 10:13:57 |
emily | Gnuxie 💜🐝: (I appreciate the object-capabilities modelling by the way <3) | 10:15:10 |
emily | that just reintroduces the same problems, because the homeserver can be reachable from one server but reachable from another, so now you have distributed systems problems, state reconciliation, eventual consistency, all of that stuff | 10:15:49 |
