My @matrix #Synapse home server is running for more than 1 year and a half on my @PINE64 #Quartz64 board without any issue.
It was initially supposed to be just an experiment, but it worked so well that I continued to use it until now!

Today, I decided to move it to a cloud server to make the maintenance easier, and to solve some issues on my home network (the Matrix traffic seem to overwhelm my poor little router).

Meet me on @JF:matrix.codingfield.com !

@JF @colgrave @matrix @PINE64 I mean despite being a ToS nightmare to deal with and the spam, Gammie did a really good job. Element has a spam problem in general and the crowd it attracts doesn't like the safe space Discord crybabies.

Considering that he has the services running on something like a co-op server farm in his area, it's really good. Like he's making use of a local business and it's pretty wholesome. It does lag a little bit but that's probably on Discord's end. The kind of thing they would do when they see that they can't mine as much data.

My thesis is now publicly available! Might be interesting if you're into , Gaussian processes, uncertainty, surrogates and decision making. Or it might not be interesting.

"What might come as a big surprise to those of us deeply embedded in academic culture is that what we have achieved doesn’t matter so much as what we are capable of doing. That tall stack of publications might have zero value outside academia, but all of the talents that we racked up in the process of producing those papers can be highly valuable."

The early software industry was nerds having a blast but the way it works these days, most workplaces for programmers are software factories. Contractor shops where the work is often meaningless and repetitive. If you're a programmer and you don't have a job like that, you're among the lucky ones, and should remain quiet.

@thor Have you noticed the odd duality of optimization and inefficiencies in the last decade?

@AmpBenzScientist I'm looking at working in healthcare. I've realised that my sharp mind can be applied toward a nobler goal than computers. I can understand people, places, objects and social relationships using the same analytical abilities that made me a good computer programmer, but with much more meaning.

@thendrix If you get Yerba Mate, you could get the same warning.
