I've done the deployment, AMA 🙃 18:03:55 <aperezdc> andythenorth: ^^ 18:04:16 <andythenorth> any downsides? 18:04:29 <andythenorth> currently self-hosted irc, want to stop doing that 18:04:36 <andythenorth> bad use of engineering time 18:04:45 <andythenorth> also irc = no inline pictures :P 18:06:07 <aperezdc> The main downsides I would say are that the database can easily be a couple of dozen gigabytes, specially if you federate 18:06:39 <aperezdc> And that one needs more CPU/memory than for running an IRC server 18:06:50 <aperezdc> At least with Synapse 18:07:11 <aperezdc> I haven't tried the new homeservers 18:07:39 <aperezdc> Word has it that Dendrite is considerably lighter on resource usage 18:07:53 <aperezdc> (It's made in Go instead of Python) 18:08:49 <aperezdc> There was also somr newer homeserver in Rust that also looks like going in a good direction 18:09:44 <aperezdc> On the upside, at work we really enjoy being able to participate e.g. on the GNOME and Mozilla communities without needing additional accounts, thanks to federation 18:11:20 <aperezdc> So we've decided a good while ago to deal with it and move the database to a separate machine, and setup a few worker processes to let Synapse take advantage of multiple cores (Python is esentially single thread) 18:11:39 <peter1138> We just use Teams. Nothing to faff about with. 18:12:44 <aperezdc> Without the extra worker processes some operations like joining a big federated room would pin the CPU to 100% usage for several minutes and requests from Element timed out 18:13:44 <milek7> yeah, matrix is just broken 18:14:24 <andythenorth> interesting 18:14:34 <aperezdc> Well, I would not say broken, but... the protocol is gnarly and complex 18:14:37 <andythenorth> I have zero intent of hosting anything 18:14:45 <andythenorth> and Slack just doesn't appeal 18:14:53 <andythenorth> and Discord won't pass security 18:15:31 <aperezdc> The hosted option should be quite hassle free 18:15:50 <aperezdc> It's what the Mozilla folks are using 18:16:53 <aperezdc> Following up on protocol being gnarly: it tries to do many things and being fully distributed has a cost 18:17:28 <peter1138> I remember when XMPP was going to be the thing. 18:19:00 <aperezdc> Ah, we ran a XMPP server at work before 18:19:01 <aperezdc> On the upside, we have had days when our service kept chugging along even if some of the federated network is down. Rooms don't “belong” to any server, so that's neat 18:19:02 <aperezdc> And IRC before that 18:19:08 * aperezdc feels old 18:19:36 <aperezdc> GTalk killed XMPP after embracing and extending 18:20:43 <aperezdc> Also not having a flagship client with all the neat features has been a reason why people have not adopted XMPP more, I would say 18:22:01 <milek7> I have no idea what matrix/synapse is doing, but performance is ridiculous 18:22:41 <milek7> if it requires multicore server with gigabytes of ram to run chat service, something went wrong 18:23:27 <milek7> (talking about federation here, maybe it works acceptably without it, I didn't check) 18:40:41 <frosch123> sounds like everyone is waiting for truechat 18:41:53 <andythenorth> only if it's hosted for - per user per month 18:43:00 <frosch123> can you supply 1000 users? 18:47:08 <andythenorth> no 18:47:51 <andythenorth> but can TB live on 0 / month from me? 18:50:09 <frosch123> well, at least it's probably taxfree then :p 18:50:40 *** Wolf01 has joined #openttd 18:56:19 <TrueBrain> no plans of doing a truechat, sorry :) Synapse is awesome and works really well :) 18:56:34 <TrueBrain> well, especially now they changed it so the database doesn't fill up with useless garbage, which is nice :) 18:56:52 <TrueBrain> from what I understand, their hosted solution is also rather robust; but that is second hand information 19:01:14 <andythenorth> https://xkcd.com/1782/ 19:04:03 *** Gustavo6046 has quit IRC 19:11:04 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] DorpsGek pushed 1 commits to master https://git.io/Js2EP 19:11:05 <DorpsGek> - Update: Translations from eints (by translators) 19:13:06 <glx> finally validated my "/approve" :) 19:28:50 *** iSoSyS has joined #openttd 19:33:01 *** iSoSyS has quit IRC 19:50:29 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD-git-hooks] TrueBrain opened pull request #15: Add: allow "Upgrade" keyword in commit messages https://git.io/Js2w8 19:53:17 *** jottyfan has quit IRC 19:55:45 *** HerzogDeXtEr has quit IRC 19:58:32 *** Gustavo6046 has joined #openttd 19:59:02 <TrueBrain> frosch123 / glx : either of you have any problem with ^^ ? :) 20:00:07 <glx> so you don't have to rewrite messages everytime ? 20:00:19 <TrueBrain> exactly 20:00:39 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD-git-hooks] glx22 approved pull request #15: Add: allow "Upgrade" keyword in commit messages https://git.io/Js2ry 20:00:42 <TrueBrain> cheers 20:01:05 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD-git-hooks] TrueBrain merged pull request #15: Add: allow "Upgrade" keyword in commit messages https://git.io/Js2w8 20:01:11 <frosch123> ah dependabot... i got a mail about a security vulnerability in one of albert's gamescript (from the coop github account) 20:01:29 <frosch123> probably some docs generator, but funny nevertheless :p 20:01:43 <TrueBrain> it is a good bot :) 20:01:51 * glx is reading nml#173 20:04:43 <andythenorth> busy bee vulnerable 20:06:11 *** gelignite has quit IRC 20:07:35 <TrueBrain> okay, getting up-to-date via dependabot is really a bad idea :P 20:07:38 <TrueBrain> but I had to try :D 20:14:35 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/nml] glx22 approved pull request #173: Fix: Access to persistent storage of towns https://git.io/Js2Kj 20:17:56 <TrueBrain> okay, other then the mass spam it does at the first run, it is pretty nice 20:18:05 <TrueBrain> you can just tell it: here, I approved, merge it when-ever the CI is happy 20:18:16 <TrueBrain> https://github.com/TrueBrain/TrueWiki/pull/130 <- it even gives you a thumbs-up 20:18:42 <andythenorth> 173 \o/ 20:19:04 <andythenorth> now I need to figure out putting an industry in every town :) 20:19:12 <andythenorth> to display certain registers to the player 20:19:34 <glx> TrueBrain: it will auto merge once CodeQL result are pushed ? 20:19:40 <TrueBrain> yup 20:19:43 <glx> nice 20:20:45 <TrueBrain> yeah .. and it does it best to show a changelog, or otherwise the commits .. for GitHub, BitBucket, GitLab, ... 20:20:54 <TrueBrain> feels a lot better than pyup so far :) 20:22:55 *** keenriser has quit IRC 20:25:32 <glx> there's a warning about https://github.com/TrueBrain/TrueWiki/blob/9977bdb40ba3d382c701e0abdb0020167a19e935/.github/workflows/testing.yml#L22 being unneeded 20:25:58 <TrueBrain> warning where? 20:26:59 <TrueBrain> "Workflows triggered by Dependabot on the "push" event run with read-only access.

I guess I should also rename "master" to "main" for TrueWiki 20:38:36 <TrueBrain> also something to consider for all our repositories honestly 20:38:57 <frosch123> call it "true" branch :p 20:39:02 <frosch123> (no) 20:39:08 <TrueBrain> you silly :D 20:39:35 <frosch123> someone needs to rework eints pushing 20:39:49 <frosch123> it's somewhat silly, it does stuff that is already done by the gha 20:40:00 <frosch123> and it makes the branch name important for eints 20:40:27 <frosch123> the eints scripts still think they run in a cron job with a persistent working copy on disk 20:41:02 <TrueBrain> guess the rest of the week will be an administrative one :P 20:42:05 <TrueBrain> but so I guess you agree we should rename master -> main :) 20:42:24 <glx> no objections from me 20:42:55 <TrueBrain> will be a shitty job, but what-ever .. 20:43:01 <TrueBrain> (the renaming part) 20:43:17 <frosch123> yep, clicking through all branch protections :p 20:43:25 <TrueBrain> all github workflows 20:43:27 <frosch123> fixing all the scripts, workflows, mostly eints 20:43:28 <TrueBrain> open PRs 20:43:41 <frosch123> it affects open PRs? lol 20:43:42 <TrueBrain> lot of clicking :) 20:43:46 <TrueBrain> I have no clue 20:44:04 <TrueBrain> GitHub does that for you 20:44:06 <TrueBrain> so that is a bonus 20:44:12 <TrueBrain> also the branch protection rules 20:44:14 <glx> I hope github is smart enough to understand the branch rename 20:44:30 <TrueBrain> "Will not update your members' local environments." <- is listed when renaming "master" :D 20:44:41 <glx> yeah expected 20:44:49 <TrueBrain> like .. DUH 20:44:56 <TrueBrain> would be freaky if they could change that :P 20:44:56 <TrueBrain> but! 20:44:57 <TrueBrain> "Your members will have to manually update their local environments.

A master record implies there is a slave. You might call it a replicate, but often when compared to master this is called a slave 20:55:36 <TrueBrain> master HDD, slave HDD 20:55:37 <TrueBrain> etc 20:55:55 *** Samu has quit IRC 20:56:26 <TrueBrain> so this whole shift from master to "anything else" is to break that link 20:57:04 <TrueBrain> so "base language" removes any reference to master/slave in any context 20:57:54 <frosch123> ah, findversion always uses the branchname now 20:58:04 <frosch123> i think we had some version, where it blanked the main branch 20:59:03 <frosch123> https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/blob/master/src/rev.cpp.in#L29 <- haha, it even still says in the comment 20:59:07 <frosch123> lieing comments :p 20:59:19 <TrueBrain> at least it doesn't say "trunk" :) 20:59:51 <frosch123> eints uses "trunk" until october 21:00:14 <frosch123> so, if you now rename it to main, it has used trunk longer than master 21:01:07 <TrueBrain> https://twitter.com/mislav/status/1270388510684598272 <- interesting read 21:01:16 <TrueBrain> "master" branch did imply master/slave 21:01:19 <TrueBrain> not "master copy" 21:01:33 <frosch123> https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/blob/master/src/saveload/saveload.h#L18 <- there's your trunk :) 21:03:52 <TrueBrain> if anyone asks about master -> main rename, that twitter thread really says it all :) 21:04:09 *** Wolf01 has quit IRC 21:04:35 <frosch123> ok, that makes stuff a lot more clear :) i wondered why "master copy" was a problem, but i did not know that git did not use it in that sense 21:06:31 <TrueBrain> what I find really difficult about this all, that I simply never considered any of this to be a problem 21:07:03 <TrueBrain> and that is a me-problem, to be clear 21:07:14 <frosch123> nah, that part is easy once you meet some people :) 21:08:24 <TrueBrain> well, sometimes you need someone to tell you: dude .. this is not okay anymore :P 21:09:09 <LordAro> i would rather get that information from somewhere other than twitter though 21:09:20 <TrueBrain> it is not "information" as such 21:09:25 <TrueBrain> this is not a law or anything :) 21:09:26 <frosch123> i meant stuff like "what, this actually happens to you?" 21:09:58 <TrueBrain> frosch123: yeah, indeed 21:10:01 <LordAro> twitter is a cesspit of dangerous nonsense 21:10:24 <TrueBrain> this is just a dude explaining really well that people saying the renaming is "bullshit" are on one side of the story 21:10:58 <TrueBrain> being inclusive is never about doing what the majority things is okay :) 21:11:27 <TrueBrain> thinks 21:11:33 <TrueBrain> freaking english ... stop being such an ass :P 21:12:29 <LordAro> sure, but i'd quite like to see the actual minority apparently affected by this saying something 21:12:44 <LordAro> which you don't really see 21:12:48 <LordAro> urgh 21:12:56 <LordAro> i did not want to have this conversation 21:13:11 <TrueBrain> yet you started it :) 21:13:20 <TrueBrain> no worries :) 21:13:39 <frosch123> LordAro: watch more startrek. i heard they made fun of the "problems of the past" 21:14:01 <LordAro> ha 21:16:36 <frosch123> i think, the goal of avoiding troublesome language, is to get rid of "casual/unintended r*", so it's easier to spot and address "intended r*" 21:17:13 <TrueBrain> yup 21:17:22 <frosch123> and actually, you have it pretty easy in english :p the whole genderstuff is broken in german 21:18:16 <TrueBrain> similar discussions are going on about blacklist/whitelist 21:18:24 <TrueBrain> people saying it is not racist 21:18:34 <TrueBrain> which is fine they don't see it that way .. but it is a hard argument to make 21:18:42 <andythenorth> I have a product that has a whitelist 21:18:43 <TrueBrain> it is just easier to not have the argument, and name it "anything else" 21:18:48 <andythenorth> I really didn't want to 21:18:54 <andythenorth> I researched it about 5 years ago 21:19:07 <andythenorth> I wasn't interested in a conclusion about whether it was a problem 21:19:19 <andythenorth> just how much time would be wasted on whether it might be a problem 21:19:19 <frosch123> TrueBrain: what about black humour? 21:19:39 <TrueBrain> someone on Twitter once went off that we call programming languages based on breast sizes 21:19:42 <TrueBrain> C .. D ... F ... 21:19:47 <TrueBrain> now that did make me laugh :) 21:19:54 <glx> haha nice one 21:20:03 <TrueBrain> I never before made that link 21:20:05 <TrueBrain> like never ever 21:20:16 <V453000> I just finished writing a nice script in TITS 21:20:17 <frosch123> TrueBrain: actually, zwarte piet is still called like that in german, just the picture no longer shows a human, but something else 21:20:18 <TrueBrain> but I guess, if you zoom in enough ... and only pick those 3 letters .... 21:20:23 <V453000> I'll see myself out 21:20:29 <TrueBrain> V453000: haha :D 21:20:43 <TrueBrain> frosch123: yeah .. I give it 2/3 more years .. but it is a losing battle overhere :) 21:20:58 <frosch123> TrueBrain: they forgot B? 21:21:08 <glx> basic maybe 21:21:17 <TrueBrain> a friend of mine told me, he is not from around here, that the first time he visited our country around December, he was like: these guys are fucking racists .. omgggggg 21:21:30 <TrueBrain> it is also one of those things .. never evah in my life considered it to be like that 21:21:33 <TrueBrain> it is so common :P 21:21:43 <TrueBrain> still .. hard case to make it is not meant as an insult 21:21:52 <TrueBrain> to dress up like helpers for a white dude .. by making your face .. black ... 21:22:16 <frosch123> glx: B actually exists, it's really a predecessor to C, and it's the reason why == is comparison, and = is assignment: there are more assignments than comparisions, so it saves source code disk space 21:22:39 <andythenorth> hurrah 21:22:49 * andythenorth checked, the product doesn't have a whitelist 21:22:55 <TrueBrain> w00p 21:23:14 <andythenorth> sorted that out about 5 years ago 21:23:26 <TrueBrain> you are ahead of your time :P 21:23:38 <andythenorth> depends who you follow on twitter 21:23:55 <TrueBrain> frosch123: is there "white humor" I now wonder 21:23:57 <andythenorth> I was outrageously behind, according to some circles I follow 21:24:25 <TrueBrain> whitelist/blacklist is an ongoing discussion .. so no, you are not 21:25:09 <TrueBrain> I love mostly that there are complete stories about tracing the words to their roots .. like .. yes, that is the conversation people are trying to have with you :D 21:25:45 <andythenorth> "they" 21:25:49 <andythenorth> that is the tweet 21:25:56 <andythenorth> oh wrong culture war 21:26:12 * andythenorth likes trains 21:26:52 <frosch123> TrueBrain: fun fact, there is a children's sport game "who is afraid of the black man". everyone played that as a child, but noone who played it knows the origin of the name. 21:27:06 <TrueBrain> that .. sounds ...... wrong :P 21:27:50 <frosch123> there are theories that it refers to the black death, which would actually make sense for the rules 21:28:04 <frosch123> but noone really knows, and now it's just wtf is this game 21:28:11 <TrueBrain> context is everything :) 21:28:22 <TrueBrain> but sometimes context is not as important as it is to remove the suggestion of a wrong context :) 21:29:11 <frosch123> https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_zwarte_man_(spel) <- oh look, it also exists in dutch 21:29:18 <frosch123> did you also play that as child? 21:29:38 <TrueBrain> nope 21:29:41 <TrueBrain> never heard of it either 21:30:01 <TrueBrain> but yeah, that wouldn't fly in 2021 :) 21:30:33 <TrueBrain> everyone the black man captures helps him 21:30:38 <TrueBrain> I understand the black death reference there 21:30:47 <TrueBrain> in that sense, very 2020 :) 21:30:55 <TrueBrain> if corona catches you ...... :D 21:31:13 <TrueBrain> so lets rename it to the Corona game :D 21:31:28 <TrueBrain> WHO IS AFRAID OF THE DUDE WHO HAS CORONA!
