And anyone who gets an account on it has to pledge to not join any other rooms than those two. I do solemnly swear 😁 | 11:59:43 |
 _hc | this is just to self-host the two fdroid matrix rooms? or something else also? | 11:59:41 |
| Mathijs | I'd assume you'd also want to use it for internal conversations | 12:00:30 |
 Coffee | In reply to @mathijs:matrix.vgorcum.com
I'd assume you'd also want to use it for internal conversations Yeah, that'd be fine. | 12:01:41 |
| Mathijs | then again: if you add everything synapse on my server together that's still about 26 GB | 12:04:09 |
| Mathijs | and I'm in most big matrix.org rooms | 12:04:22 |
| Coffee | In reply to @eighthave:matrix.org
this is just to self-host the two fdroid matrix rooms? or something else also? I guess if we can add disk at will (with a few days of delay) we could go 30 or even lower. | 12:05:51 |
| _hc | if we need to rapidly allocate 20gigs of disk for just the matrix server, then it sounds like it'll rapidly outgrow the eclips.is hosting | 12:06:59 |
| _hc | I think we have a total of like < 500gigs there, with 300GB being for the mirror | 12:07:34 |
| Coffee | The extra space is mostly insurance against a bad roll of luck, and so we'd have enough for at a year or two including some expansion into different rooms. | 12:08:10 |
| Mathijs | it took my server 1 year and 7 months to grow to 26 GB | 12:08:23 |
| _hc | seems like it should set a 1 year cache policy, then chat logs can be dumped out plain text to disk after that | 12:09:06 |
| _hc | in which case many years would be <1GB | 12:09:18 |
| Coffee | The thing with matrix is that it is an append-only log. A bit like a blockchain without the POW. | 12:10:11 |
| Coffee | You can dump old messages, but you will forever be accumulating "state". | 12:10:30 |
| _hc | hopefully the matrix logs aren't growing faster than ssd tech | 12:10:38 |
|  apol joined the room. | 12:12:05 |
| _hc | let me know when you want me to make the VM | 12:12:57 |
 Nico |
let me know when you want me to make the VM
I guess we're ready to do it, right @mathijs:matrix.vgorcum.com? | 12:19:07 |
| Nico | Another thing is that @bubuiic:matrix.org wrote in the forum that the assembly call opened for 35C3. I'll also go, do we want to do a FOSS mobile assembly there? How would that work? Or who would register that? | 12:20:27 |
| _hc | I've never been, so can't say much | 12:20:58 |
| _hc | but I'll be there is my talk is accepted | 12:21:08 |
| Mathijs | In reply to @nico:dorfbrunnen.eu
let me know when you want me to make the VM
I guess we're ready to do it, right @mathijs:matrix.vgorcum.com? I'll have some time over the weekend to set things up, sure | 12:39:56 |
| Nico | Nice. So _hc, you can set up the machine with my ssh key preconfigured and I'll handle the rest with Mathijs. Thank you, btw! | 12:42:09 |
| Mathijs | I assume the vm will run debian? | 12:42:36 |
| Nico | Yes. | 12:44:42 |
| Nico | And my goal is to have a documentation like this: https://f-droid.org/docs/Maintaining_the_Forum/ | 12:45:43 |
 Marcus (old) | Nico: I'm not too sure how that works | 12:49:24 |
| Marcus (old) | Nico: I'm not too sure how that works | 12:50:02 |
| Marcus (old) | The other options would be to join with another assembly. Like fsfe of something | 12:50:18 |
