raitobezarius | there's plenty of second hydra out there | 12:14:55 |
raitobezarius | and plenty of people rebuilding stuff | 12:14:59 |
raitobezarius | what we need is a hash collection infrastructure | 12:15:03 |
Julien | Ah ok | 12:15:06 |
raitobezarius | that requires a 512MB RAM machine | 12:15:09 |
toonn | This is what Trustix intended to do, right? | 12:15:40 |
Julien | Yeah | 12:15:48 |
raitobezarius | Trustix had a much more ambitious goal but yes | 12:15:51 |
Julien | But trustix is not really alive | 12:15:59 |
Julien | But I'm interested also into seeing what we can do with trustix | 12:16:15 |
raitobezarius | I think it is unreasonable to pursue Trustix without (a) funding (b) dedicated human resources on it | 12:18:29 |
raitobezarius | I think it's more reasonable to build a stupid Postgres DB, build a stupid upload script, give the keys to community members we trust | 12:18:46 |
raitobezarius | And let it run | 12:18:48 |
Julien | Sure, but as you said, trustix has a much more ambitious goal | 12:19:15 |
| * raitobezarius nods$ | 12:19:29 |
| * raitobezarius * nods | 12:19:31 |
raitobezarius | But having nothing is worse than having something | 12:19:39 |
Julien | Yes true, but these are non exclusive things | 12:19:59 |
raitobezarius | Non mutually exclusive, yes | 12:20:11 |
raitobezarius | But if we are going to make a dent, let's start somewhere that benefits from passively collecting data | 12:20:25 |
raitobezarius | Which will help everyone working in the ecosystem rather than pursuing ambitious goals which will bring fruits only much later on IMHO | 12:20:48 |
Alyssa Ross | trustix had funding | 12:22:33 |
Julien | Yeah but it is over now, right ? | 12:22:59 |
toonn | Did it? Tweag wasn't really funding it AFAIK, was more of a 20%-time kinda dealio, no? | 12:23:48 |
Julien | I think it has NLNet funding | 12:24:00 |
Julien | * I think it had NLNet funding | 12:24:06 |
toonn | Oh, cool. | 12:24:18 |
raitobezarius | In reply to @qyliss:fairydust.space trustix had funding yes but I think it was not consumed | 13:16:38 |
raitobezarius | for complicated reasons I suppose | 13:16:47 |
Foxboron | In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org I wonder if we would get similar results given our codebase ~similar I think it depends a lot on the development model, not codebase :p | 13:23:51 |
