@danarel this is me every year or so when I switch between Jekyll and Ghost and back lmao

“Do it for the gram” is big boomer energy and really shows what kind of people are managing Mozilla these days

@mewmew it’s called Element now

Why is it that once people reach a certain number of followers on a platform, they feel the need to comment on random issues they don't understand? 🤔

@mewmew @mgrondin XMPP is trash anyhow. No good clients unless you’re on Android. And why would anyone use XML as a communications protocol lmao. The perfect blend of being hard to read by machines and hard to read by humans.

@mewmew a decent amount. $200ish monthly? Although I also run other things on this server. About half this server’s resources are allocated to Matrix.

@mewmew but the most annoying thing is the fact that it will work fine for weeks and then perform awfully or just stop federating at all for literally no reason until you restart it.

@mewmew we have probably 3.5k users. Although the number of rooms you are in matters more than user count, you could run into issues after a few hundred users in theory.

Uses around 40-50GB of the 64GB RAM allocated. Constantly pins the CPU on a Ryzen 9 3900 because it’s a single threaded Python app (although setting up Synapse workers helps dramatically, each individual worker will still hit 100% often). Disk usage is around 750GB, more than half of which is just the database, not even media.

@mewmew ok good luck 👍, I spend a stupid amount of time & money keeping ours fast & functional. And I’ve seen other relatively large servers fall victim to Synapse’s garbage programming, nitro.chat is laggy as hell for example 😅 — it scales poorly and breaks often.

@mewmew for public registrations? 👀

@lesbianhacker don’t know who that is 🤷‍♂️ they aren’t hosted on our instance. Any examples of content that would be against our goals or CoC? I’ll check out that channel tonight.

New Blog: Introducing our PeerTube Instance https://blog.privacytools.io/introducing-our-peertube-instance/ — PeerTube is approaching their 2020 crowdfunding goal, check them out! 😄

@Tommy it is now open, I didn’t realize there was a cap to the total amount of users set last night 😆
