Have fun! ^^

Microsoft employees trying in vain to get the Copilot bot to sign the CLA because they can't merge changes until it does is absolutely sending me.

never seen a company dogfooding their own product turn into such a massive own-goal.

If your corporation's business model relies on lawbreaking, your corporation has no legal legitimacy.

We don't let narcotic cartels and trafficking rings list themselves on the stock exchange: why should OpenAI or Facebook be any different?

Yeah great ok the manufacturer also has no ability to patch my fridge but how does that help me this differentiation between software in ROM and software in flash is absolute bullshit, it's all software and it should all be free and modifiable

RMS printer moment, but it's about my fridge failing to run the ice maker fill tube heater for long enough so it freezes so the ice maker gets no water and makes no ice, but also the software controlling this is in ROM so the FSF says it's fine even though there's no way I can fix it even though I am entirely capable of reverse engineering and patching it otherwise

U-Boot now runs on the Pixel 3a! Even the integrated eMMC works :D

@ariadne @giacomo I've heard Codeberg worked nice for many then.

@noisytoot @deadsuperhero @ariadne I've been running XMPP for years on a small VPS (single core, 2 GB of RAM), and it's basically offering the same modern features as Matrix, just for less than a fraction of the resource usage. Would highly recommend

@ariadne @trekkie1701c And it's not even maintaining a server, most matrix clients are really slow and struggling especially with 100 joined channels. Channels do take a long while to join as well, it can take from 15 minutes to weeks to join a channel successfully. Element also gets killed by my kernel's OOM killer a lot, taking much more resources than a traditional IRC client or even an XMPP client.

if i were @robin i would try to put resources on building a small matrix server implementation for hobbyists that isn't "web scale".

if i can run an ircd and services package on a small VPS, i should be able to run a similarly sized matrix instance on a small VPS.

my main issue with is that every time i have ever deployed a homeserver, it has inevitably wound up dying on me

@deadsuperhero @ariadne It's not just Synapse, although Synapse might be worse than the other implementations. I run a single-user Conduit server and it is currently using 1.4GiB of memory and has used ~32 minutes of CPU time in the 2 days it's been running. Compare to Prosody (an XMPP server), which is using 16MiB of memory and has used ~3 minutes of CPU time, and UnrealIRCd (an IRC server, linked to pissnet), which is using 21MiB of memory and has used ~4m30s of CPU time.
