 Sandro | I am still thinking that this has something to do with what we do with the rooms | 22:46:27 |
| Sandro | I am in like 30 other rooms unrelated to NixOS and this only ever happened to the nixos rooms :P | 22:46:48 |
| Sandro | maybe unlucky | 22:46:51 |
 emily | it's rather something that was done to the rooms a few years ago involving database editing | 22:48:52 |
| emily | unless we've had a room split brain more than once? | 22:49:17 |
| emily | I think it has just been "every existing room is cursed to gradually die and need replacing", including e.g. the space room we had to do some months ago | 22:49:34 |
| emily | and once they're recreated it's fine (but the very nature of a split brain means that people might not see the right tombstone/alias) | 22:49:58 |
 uep | ok, that alias now resolves as intended for me. I may simply have not realised there were two when I moved it a month or so ago, or maybe the old room kept it / resurrected it because of sync issues | 22:51:19 |
 Charles | (tombstones yes but the source of truth for aliases is not room state, it's stored separately) | 22:51:44 |
| Charles | * (tombstones yes but the source of truth for aliases is not room state, it's stored and looked up separately) | 22:51:59 |
| uep | yeah, i had to re-issue the tombstone for that one back then too) | 22:52:22 |
| uep | * yeah, i had to re-issue the tombstone for that one back then too | 22:52:28 |
| emily | I feel like we've had the space be weird with aliases | 22:53:09 |
| emily | for whatever reason | 22:53:14 |
| emily | as in #space:nixos.org being the old one for some pople | 22:53:22 |
| Charles | it's entirely possible there is jank around aliases but it would be different mechanisms of jank | 22:53:52 |
| uep | yes. well. | 22:54:29 |
| Sandro | can I somehow force this on my own server? | 22:55:17 |
