I have located confidential investor materials about a quartz mine being developed in Australia that they expect they can also produce HP9 quartz sand from
@david_chisnall@jwildeboer Signal is a clever use for this, but I think for many projects it would be best if there was accessible chat history and search.
Deploy the official Percona XtraDB cluster -- it eats itself after a short period of time by whatever maintenance/backup junk it's doing being broken and causing it to run the cluster out of database connections. Documented, known bug in the latest release I tested (idk which one right now). It went unpatched for months, I'm guessing it's still not fixed yet.
Deploy the Redis operator from ot-operators which is like The Redis K8s Cluster Implementation^TM and it kills itself too when I'm not even using it. Just come back from a weekend and discover the app I'm testing stopped working and once again it's Redis. Logs show the cluster has lost its mind.
I cannot believe people are really running this stuff
@i@sun this could actually be a really good thing for the Fediverse in general. If we built this maybe projects would start using Zulip as their main chat platform
Anyone here good at Python? I could hack it together but it wouldn't be pretty. I'd throw money at a bounty for this if we can determine that what we want to build is 100% possible.
@sun I think we could write our own OAuth module that would let the user login with their fedi account name and it can automatically OAuth to their server
this shouldn't be crazy hard to do, let's investigate it further
@jwildeboer that's how I've always felt too but the more I interact with younger technical folks the more I realize that I might as well be asking them to send me a fax 🥲
@sun personal use for friends/family mostly but also wanted to know how good they were in comparison to Slack/Discord.
I don't think they work very well for socializing because their features and design are just not aimed at that use case
But Zulip specifically has a very good approach to containing chat discussions to around threads/topics and making it easy for someone like a project maintainer to keep a handle on things
I think we should embrace it more, maybe even for Pleroma because IRC is likely one reason we don't get as much engagement plus people can't look back on previous discussions, are logged off when you reply, etc...
@jwildeboer What is our best option to replace those services, though?
I think we're basically looking at Gitter, Mattermost, and RocketChat with Gitter being the most open option (no enterprise/proprietary features // "open core" junk)
@gyptazy I am very very interested in being able to use this for my Linux containers soon. Being able to run them and use my existing FreeBSD ZFS as the backing filesystem would be a dream
@paco this is weird and I don't know why the CT would be different than any other Tesla. Maybe the drivers seat occupancy sensor is broken or something?
@jwildeboer counterpoint: when you force people to use IRC, you're excluding a *LOT MORE* potential contributors because so many people do not like or want to learn IRC, especially younger folks. They want a nice app, rich chat features, and limited friction to sign up / connect.
The IRC crowd is old now. A lot of investment needs to be made into making IRC "comfy" for people. I don't know how to solve this. I've worked on several teams where we used IRC and when new people came onboard they were absolutely horrified and confused about IRC. They did not like it and mostly abstained from using it.
