Not offended. This is a good reminder that this industry is far and wide enough that different people will see different subsets of it, and just because I observe something doesn't make it universal :).

A backplane is nontrivial to design electrically/mechanically and expensive to manufacture (even just some high quality connectors will quickly run up your BOM). If you also want to carry networking there you'll end up having to d

That's something you should ask the git-bug authors, I vaguely remember some being on this very website. FWIW I don't even use git-bug, I just know it exists :).

It is, but it's difficult to introduce. Just hiring 'devops' people for your ops team, or giving developers access to AWS is missing the whole damn point. It requires reorganizing work in a way that makes a lot of people angr

I don't think any games rely on more than a few dozen megabits of Internet bandwidth at a few hundred packets per second. And that netfilter/iptables NAT on a Xeon is not gonna add more latency than the equivalent netfilter/i

0. Accept that for NAT on home gateway you really don't need wirespeed at minimal MTU, as the majority of your data transfers will be over TCP at max MSS/MTU. 1. Get a Xeon D box (like a Supermicro X10SDV-TLN4F, TDP 45W). 2. Insta

All room events (ie. messages) are part of a DAG, with each message indicating the most recent causality source, eg. another message that the client saw when sending this one. Think vector clocks, but more explicit. Any time an event arrive

It goes even further than XMPP, as rooms in Matrix are fully distributed, with no single server owning them. Names like #foo:example.com are aliases, and aliases can be added under other homserver domains, too. XMPP MUC rooms are, IIRC, dep

You don't even need to do that. Either add an DNS SRV record to example.com pointing matrix to matrix.example.com, or server a single JSON under .well-known pointing matrix to matrix.example.com. https://matrix.org/docs
