 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | social.nix.zone or something could be fun, yeah. Do you know if mastodon can do high availability? | 21:55:45 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Oh sure, if there's an existing instance I'll join that in a heartbeat. | 21:55:59 |

social.nix.zone or something could be fun, yeah. Do you know if mastodon can do high availability? I know next to nothing about the architecture or details. I only started using mastodon a week ago | 21:56:28 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | If it's anything like Matrix wherein the homeserver cannot be scaled horizontally, I'd be annoyed 😀 | 21:57:04 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | seems like it is tbh | 21:57:30 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | that's one of the biggest challenges with this, and why it's better if everyone hosts their own | 21:57:52 |
| nbathum (he or they) | You could ask admins of different instances about that? | 21:58:10 |
| nbathum (he or they) | It's a good question | 21:58:37 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/9208 | 21:58:45 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Maybe not. I saw something unrelated about backups and PSQL, it's all good clusterable tech. | 21:59:06 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Awesome. | 21:59:08 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Now there's just the question of responsibility and whether I'm ready for it, and suffice to say I'm probably not the best fit for that yet. Maybe when I have a job again, since I'm currently unemployed. | 22:00:17 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Even if I do know ZFS and how to scale these things, I can't really imagine it looking good for me if I screw up with more than a hundred people's data because I can't put good money into it. | 22:00:54 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | And there we come back to the reality of money and how it's better if everyone runs their own instance ;D | 22:02:21 |
| nbathum (he or they) | Has anyone made a nix riff on Greenspun's tenth rule yet?
Any sufficiently complicated build system contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of nix
| 22:03:04 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | That's so brilliant... | 22:03:26 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | That is indeed pretty cool. | 22:09:21 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | The switch to Matrix has livened it up for me! | 22:09:53 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Matrix wouldn't be nearly as exciting if it weren't for the NixOS community that is on it. | 22:10:05 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Maybe the same effect can be had on Mastodon. | 22:10:17 |
