I use sqlite for synapse (since ~2 years) and I haven't noticed any corruption at all. I am in lot of rooms (20-30) with 1k-2k users in a lot of them and the db size is 8.8G currently

I have been hosting synapse for 2 years now and it's been a smooth sail. I don't recall having any major breaking changes, most updates are smooth. Element client itself is definitely PITA but it's getting better

Interesting. I was just setting up a LB like this: client ->LB(nginx) ->TLS terminate for LB conn -> proxy_pass to backend which is behind nginx and has separate TLS certs. it's surprisingly easy to configure. Wonder why people still use HTTP at all. Even at home, I have setup LE certs for all local domains

On a side note, nginx doesn't support HTTP/2 for https load balancing so I am thinking of switching to haproxy which supports it

Because you've now published your internal machine names. Look up certificate transparency logs.

What do you mean? I used self-signed for communication b/w LB and the nginx serving backend

Edit: I don't see any "machine name" on crt.sh for public LB which uses LE

Ah, you meant the DNS address is on CT now. You think I wouldn't know that? Regardless, a dns01 challenge is far better than using self-signed at home

I wonder if we could get something like that for k8s, docker and other container ecosystem

Hello, SadServers guy here.

We have scenarios running on k8s, both on single VMs (the ones you can see in the scenario list) and we also have a beta/PoC k8s cluster where we currently run a couple of scenarios as single pod (a docker container) or as a full system (the "kubernetes playgrounds", which is kind of hidden while we test it).

Is this what you were wondering? we do have pending to introduce podman scenarios as well

That's hardly an "upskill" imo. You would know almost all of it by running a linux server for a month or two

TLDR; "I am fucking lazy corporate robot and I would rather hire a retard who doesn't dare to think outside the box and has never touched a linux server so we could pay enormous bills to AWS and triangle company!"

Agreed. I think having an option for codeberg would be great

Would love to know which exotic and niche languages are people going to use for this year. I am personally thinking of trying out Crystal or Elixir

I’m probably going to use rescript. Though I may do Gleam or Roc.

If you're feeling adventurous and would like to try Roc's new compiler, I put together a quick tutorial for it!

BQN or its ancestor APL are good for this.

Crooks blaming crooks! What an irony

Immutable is very good for new linux users but I personally don't like the restriction and find rpmostree extremely slow to install literally anything. It does make sense to use immutable distros in routers, firewall, etc

I try not to use rpmostree to install anything (only steam-input, codecs and nvidia drivers), and rely on homebrew, appimages, flatpaks and toolbox for my app needs. It works so far...

There is something about immutable linuxes that feels right, and I cannot pinpoint why exactly, but it's like things are segregated correctly.

It’s probably that they’re near impossible to break or end up with an unusable system.

I have disabled read-only mode and I use pacman like you would in a normal Arch system. Makes it a lot easier to install packages
