 Gnuxie 💜🐝 | well that's another argument entirely and we can't go from saying this feature will take too long to roll out to fundamentally changing the protocol x3 | 10:11:31 |
 dgrig | The (main/only?) benefit of the current architecture is the fact that the nixos.org HS isn't a SPOF. Obviously, with this also come all the issues you mentioned (split brains, abuse, etc). | 10:11:47 |
 emily | (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?) | 10:12:05 |
| emily | oh for sure. the approach seems sensible given the existing constraints | 10:12:19 |

(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 |
