Comment on Downtime - Apologies and what went wrong

Thanks for the update! I figured it must have had something to do with the baby and the busy life + the update not working as expected, so I was patient.
After 12hrs or so I did go on mastodon to look for an update (just a ‘everything crashed, working on the backup’ kinda message) so if this ever happens again that might be an idea?
Thanks for working so hard on getting everything back up and don’t forget to rest!

I was on Matrix but then I got tired of how buggy and broken it was

I’ve been trying to get away from matrix since it leaks metadata like a sieve. And I’ve been using SimpleX instead. Plus, it’s easier to manage the E2E keys and not fuck up and lose access to your messages.

Thanks! I have no idea what matrix is though, is it like an open source / decentralized discord?

It’s an attempt at reinventing IRC while neglecting to realize XMPP exists.

It’s an open source and decentralized messaging protocol matrix.org It is messenger first and “Discord” second, but it can be used as a public server in a similar way.

Bascially yes.

Awesome, I’ll look into it

Matrix is deffo the best place to get live updates but I’ll be adding updates to mastodon and to the status page, when I find a working replacement!
