♲ @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org: Database migration to new hardware is complete and so far things look pretty promising. We'll be doing further migrations over the next few days, but hopefully the root cause of the recent disruptions is now solved.

♲ @sheogorath@microblog.shivering-isles.com: A good opportunity to highlight the decentralization of the protocol :)

There are so many easy ways to setup a synapse server nowadays, from your managed setup: modular.im

Over the official Ansible playbook:

github.com/spantaleev/matrix-d…

To my very personal (undocumented ) playbook:

git.shivering-isles.com/shiver…

Definitely worth looking into that.

This feels squickily like self-promotion (which I hate), but some folks round here might find something interesting there.

I will also mention that we have ongoing efforts to recruit folks who are *not* like me - i.e. straight old cis white guys.

So, if you are *not* like me along any of those axes, I especially encourage you to give it a looksee.
