|  Emma [it/its] joined the room. | 21:58:28 |
 Sumner Evans | anyone know NickCao's mxid? looks like he went ahead and merged. We should get him into this room if he's on Matrix | 21:58:32 |
| Emma [it/its] | 👋 | 21:59:13 |
| Sumner Evans | Redacted or Malformed Event | 21:59:27 |
 ma27 | there's none in the maintainer entry. will leave a message in the PR. | 21:59:27 |
 emily | haven't seen him on Matrix | 21:59:30 |
| emily | ironically :) | 21:59:41 |
| ma27 | would be kinda funny if the person who regularly merges synapse PRs doesn't use it :D | 21:59:53 |
| Sumner Evans | I assume that he must have one because he said that he tested on his homeserver | 21:59:55 |
| emily | right, I just mean in the NixOS space | 22:00:04 |
| emily | @nickcao:nichi.co is in #dev:nixos.org | 22:00:21 |
| emily | so presumably that | 22:00:27 |
| Sumner Evans | that matches the website in his GitHub profile, so that is probably it | 22:01:05 |
| ma27 invited  Nick Cao. | 22:01:29 |
| Nick Cao joined the room. | 22:02:21 |
| ma27 | hi!
given you also do synapse stuff regularly and we were just talking about 1.127.1, we figured it makes sense to also have you here :) | 22:03:58 |
| Nick Cao | I actually use matrix for work, so can't afford having a broken synapse! | 22:05:43 |
| Emma [it/its] | T&S here, so me neither | 22:06:37 |
| Emma [it/its] | thanks sumner and nick for fast tracking this one :) | 22:06:54 |
| Nick Cao | Ah I was expecting worse, that's some relief | 22:07:32 |
| Emma [it/its] | i cant have my synapse going down when running multiple moderation bots for various communities says me running custom patches | 22:08:11 |
| ma27 | merged the backport (cherry-picked the commit on 24.11 before to deploy my hs). I guess I can go to bed now, then :) | 22:11:06 |
| emily | embargoed vulns don't work so well when you write a helpful commit message 😆 | 22:12:14 |
 Ralith | still not on the channel? | 22:52:33 |
| Sumner Evans | don't we have to wait for it to get built and such? | 22:53:33 |
| emily | yes, it'll probably be a couple days (unless someone bumps the channels now) | 22:54:06 |
| emily | (which can be done for a sufficiently severe vuln but not clear to me if this DoS would qualify) | 22:54:30 |
| emily | people can get a patched Synapse from master though | 22:54:49 |
| Emma [it/its] | fwiw, the vuln breaks joining affected rooms | 22:55:13 |
| Emma [it/its] | being in any affected room completely breaks federation for all rooms (the old nixos space is affected btw) | 22:55:57 |
