  • I’ve been running the same matrix instance since ubuntu 18.04lts, just upgraded the virtual machine along the ride, so that has to be +6 years it’s been running 24/7.

    I have not once rebooted my server due to performance reasons (like a mem leak). And like last 4 years I’ve ran the instance virtualized on a hp thin client, lately on a hp t640.

    While I understand the criticism towards synapse being a complex and slow, and element being slow-ish, I don’t feel justified saying synapse would need any restarts in general. At least I have never restarted it in 6+ years and my instance has been working without those required restarts.

    Yeah, I miss the irc, too. I still use it via my matrix instance.












  • Thing is, I make more than ever, but yet due to increased (mostly) energy costs, I can afford nothing.

    Few years ago I was able to eat a few times a week out, but nowadays I eat at most a few times a month. Base price for döner was 6-7 euros, now they are starting off 12 euros. However my salary has not doubled. Lately, I usually just pick up take away food for the kids, not for us parents.

    I was able to upgrade my phone once a year or two, now I’ve been using the same phone (even with screen cracked) for 3,5 years.

    Best thing last, I’m a co-founder for a fabrication company. We aren’t turning profit because everything is expensive. Our costs have doubled, and salary costs gone up 75%. It would be easier to just run the business down nowadays than struggle.
